First Birthday


Hyrum turned one year old today. Even the kids have vocalized disbelief at the thought. There was something very special about his first birthday that he probably won't appreciate for years to come. He got to spend the day with his namesake, Grandma Hales (Barbara Joan Barrow Hales). This is a special treat since Grandma lives in Utah and just happens to be here on the day that she and Hyrum share as a birthday.

How did Hyrum celebrate his first birthday?

His first well-wishing came from Sariah at about 6:20 when he joined us for family scripture study.

At Shopko, he tried on his first pair of shoes, size 5, which he later unwrapped. This was his second birthday gift. Grandpa and Grandma beat us to it with a tub toy this morning.

He licked the maple frosting from the beaters with great delight and protested when it was all gone.

He ate pizza for dinner.

He treated his birthday cake more like play dough than a dessert.

He performed pat-a-cake by request several times today. We all love it.

Grandpa Hales coaxed and coaxed to get Him to walk, but not today.

In general, Hyrum...

can scale up our entertainment center with nothing but molding to hang on to and to put his little toes on.

saw the ocean for the first time this week.

woke up at 11pm, 12:30am, 4:30am, and 6:20am last night. This is a typical night for him.

is a carnivore; loves turkey, ham, and roast beef.

drinks water from a sippy, but gives anything else a very strange look.

has had two haircuts.

has eight teeth with molars on the way.

Happy Birthday Hyrum, we love you very much!
