1. Start to get your molars b/c that is REALLY fun. Let me give you an example of just how much fun it is. When I started to get my molars yesterday I became REALLY happy. When I say happy I mean happy to the point of tears. I cry when you want to put clothes on me, I cry when you offer me milk (yes, all you need to do is merely offer and I'm so happy I just start crying), I cry when you try to give me medicine that would make me less happy, I cry when my tummy sticks out so much it pushes my tray off my chair and my grapes almost fall on the floor, I cry when I start crying while grapes are in my mouth so I start choking on said grapes, and then I cry when you finger swipe them out of my mouth in hopes that I would stop crying. So many tears of joy - that's the first way to prepare for your first birthday.
2. The second way to prepare is to cold turkey your bottles. I mean, you can't show up to your first birthday party still taking bottles so you just spit in their face one day and be done with them. Now I get milk and not just any old milk...whole milk. Dad referred to it as crack tonight b/c it's THAT delicious. I think it's fine - I take it now in place of that baby formula business but I'm not obsessed with it like dad is. OH and I only use sippy cups with straws...that's how the cool kids are doing it these days. Plus, Grayce told me that it helps my muscles used in speech when I can suck from a straw. I started using that cup yesterday and today I said full sentences. Grayce is so smart. PS. Other BEST thing about the straw...don't have to tilt the cup back - I never could figure that out.
3. And the last way to prepare for your first birthday party - put on a pink shirt, pop your collar and have a photo shoot, of course.....

lookin' like a big handsome stud in your photo shoot. seriously, your mom has GOT to teach my mom how to take pictures like that! and awesome idea about the straw cup! perfect solution. i'll pass that one on to my mom because i want to be a cool kid too. we can't wait for your birthday....
what a cutie! Great pictures. He is getting so big.
My one true love Gray,
You are making a heart in that last picture. I am assuming it is for me. Mommy says the straw training is also good because that is what they use in resteraunt kid cups. She just carries a pocket knife and shortens them. My brother says to say that 1984 called and it wants its collar back. But I love you in pink. It really is my favorite color.
You are getting way to big!! Listen, I'm sorry I wasn't able to come to your birthday party.. unfortunately parents don't always listen and agree when you tell them there is an important event to attend (even when you're old, like me). I'm sure it was a blast though. I promise I'll make it up to you. I'm thinkin maybe a purple polo to pop your collar in, because big boys wear purple.. ask dad, he'll agree!!
