Wallace's 1st Birthday

​Wallace turned 1 this weekend.  I know this is something everyone says, but I can't believe how fast this year went by.  It seems like just yesterday we brought him home from the hospital.

Friday night Anna helped me make his cake, and it was a major struggle for her not to give it a taste test...​

​It is also becoming a major struggle for Anna to let me take pictures of her.  If she's not running away, she's doing this...

​Since my sisters and I aren't really close in age I didn't know how this might go with Anna...Let's just say Wallace is finally getting to play with his new toys today.  ;)
