It's hard to believe that today (Dec. 11) is the Riblet's first birthday. Where does all the time go?
We're having a family party with the grandparents and some other extended fam on Saturday. Not that a 1-year-old really understands what's going on. Put a present in front of the kid and he pokes it with a finger. Put a piece of cake in front of him and he's going to fling it around the kitchen. But at least it will make for precious pictures that we can bribe him with show him later.
He's a sweet kid so far, even if he does look like a third-world Booger Boy in this photo. He's kept his pale blue eyes (which both our families have a few generations back), while he rest of us have brown. That, among a gazillion other things, makes him very special.

He's beautiful, boogers or not. You take great pics, too bad you are too far to hire for my wedding!
Happy Birthday Riblet!
I'm so surprised that you're already a year old. Have a wonderful year.

Happy Birthday Riblet!
those eyes kill me :-)
He looks very serious and pensive in that photo. Is he contemplating the reality of getting one year older?
Boogers....hmmm. We are on a roll here, T-Bone.
What a precious baby! Hug him a big ol' birthday hug from me.
*You tell us of his wonderous blue eyes, and yet post a b&w photo...
Come on! Show us those baby blues!
What a serious looking young man! I'm glad he was able to cut loose on his birthday and get a little wild. He looks like he is a deeeeep thinker.
This photo is really, really beautiful.
