A view from up high

With out a doubt, our boy has a favorite mode of transportation, Dads shoulders...(moms will do in a pinch). We have let the stroller and backpack collect dust for we have discovered that he is happiest when he has a birds eye view of his surroundings. Over the past weekend we went to the University of Washington (do Dawgs) street fair. For about two hours he sat on top of our shoulders and talked to pretty much everyone we passed. He only complained when he was thirsty or hungry. I prefer Neal to carry him for as you will see by the pictures, when he rides on my shoulders, the first thing he does is remove my hair clips!

Turning 1

Neal and I can hardly believe that an entire year has past with our little boy. He is now almost 13 months old and is nearing his original May 27th due date. So much has happened in his development over the past year, we just can't begin to expand on how in awe of our son we are! He loves his blanket (we call him Linus), loves his binky, adores his yellow duck, and has even learned a few signs (milk and all done). He is the reason we work so hard and the reason we play so hard. He keeps us on our toes, keeps us laughing and learning. We were a bit baffled when on his birthday he refused his cake, he just liked playing with the frosting as you can clearly see. A Schrepfer not liking cake is unheard of, however just when we doubted his blood line..... we took him to the spring fair in puyallup and he loved his first bite of a funnel cake. Definitely our son!
