Timothy, 12 months

We celebrated Timothy's first birthday with spaghetti and meatballs and a Winnie-the-Pooh cake.  Grandparents joined us for dinner, and we squeezed everyone in at the dining room table.

He's a cute little bugger.  Timothy is starting to say a few words: Dadda, Mama, more, and car-car, as in the Woody Guthrie song "Let's Go Riding in the Car, Car."  This morning as we sat in the rocking chair, I started chanting rock, rock and Timothy imitated my inflection: gock, gock.

For the past few days he has been obsessed with an apple that he grabbed off the table.  He carries it all over the house and babbles to it.  I had to draw the line at sleeping with the apple, and he was jawed about that.  He can really work himself into a lather, kicking and howling.  Then I hand him his apple and he calms right down.
