Ian's ONE!

Ok so it was a week ago and I'm just now getting around to blogging about it. Which, if you think about it, actually isn't so bad considering I have four tubs filled with pictures and mementos sitting under my bed, one for each child, still waiting to be scrapbooked.....someday. We didn't even do his "party" until Sunday the 23rd because I was worn out from our family Disneyland trip. And honestly, after three previous "first birthday extravaganzas" I'm feeling a little burned out...... poor kid. That last child syndrome is a big bummer.

I'll give you the Cliff's Notes version of his year in a nutshell.
