Ahhh... June. The birds are chirping, spiders dancing and oh yes, the celebration of my birth. Could anything be better? Once again, I apologize for the break in my blogging. I've been a busy man getting ready for this little shindig my parents are throwing. Since last we spoke, not only am I crawling, but I've perfected two different versions. Yes, most babies do the knee-knee-knee-yawn thing, but I say that is for amateurs. I'm more of a knee, sweep-the-leg-and-hook-the-heel-and-pull-yourself-along kind of guy. It's complicated.
I've been working on some more words lately too. While Mom and Dad are working hard on words like, dog and duck, sometimes I like to try and surprise them and crush out a than-yoo (thank you), or dis (this) - just to keep them guessing. It's all repeating sounds at this point you know, but who's counting (not me by the way). However, Mom has been trying the ole', "How old are you Thatcher?" routine - and I appeased her for a week or two, but seriously, how many times can I remind her. We will see on the 14th if I feel like giving her a break.
Wish me luck on my big day!
The first few here are from a series of photos Mom took for my birthday party announcement. It's kind of a Wild West Theme (you know Mom). Uncle Joel will be playing some bluegrass/blues with some friends, we are getting a keg (whatever that is) and having a campfire. Wish you could be there!
Not having it

Jen and Mike, I love all the pictures!! Thatcher is such a doll. I love that it's written in his perspective, too! And really, such a perfect genetic combination wrapped up into 25 pounds of love. : )
I hope you're enjoying the Portland summer. I think Jen and Dave need to start having yearly celebrations...two years is too long to go without getting to catch up with you guys!

How's the summer been, Thatcher? Been swimming, hiking, camping with Mom and Dad? Your "public" would love to see more pictures and commentary of your great one year old adventures. Hope you're all well!
