Look who's one

Barry turned one a couple weeks ago but I am just now getting the post up. We had to have his birthday a couple days early because I had to be in Utah for Kensi's wedding on his birthday. Plus, he didn't feel the best so it was not so fun a birthday but we made do with what we had. That picture at the top is him enjoying his leg rubbing from Dad. He laid there for a good 20 minutes.
Barry is so much fun and we love all that he brings to our family. We love having a boy and a boy he is! He grunts and growns instead of whining. He won't play with the girl stuff but goes crazy over cars and animals. He eats like it will be his last meal every time. He has no fear of trying new stuff. He climbs and climbs and climbs. The other day he climbed half way up the stairs and then climbed down. No fear. We love it.
Barry is now crawling, climbing up to everything, walking along furniture, saying Hi, dad, uh-oh and loves to shake his head no and yes. He signs milk and we are working on the sign for food. He loves to be out and going. We just found that he loves to sit in the carts at the stores that have the steering wheels. He throws a fit when we take him out. Oh, and he loves to cuddle. Every morning when he wakes up and after every nap he requires at least 5 minutes of snuggling. I don't complain at all.
He loved his cake and dug right into it. If you can't tell, that is a dinosaur on top! Have I mentioned that I love boys. It is so fun doing stuff other than princesses and flowers. Not that I don't love that to, it's just fun doing both.
