The younger kids begged me all day to take them shopping. (I love what they chose for gift wrap!) Pace seemed just as appreciative of the tissue paper as he was of the actual presents inside:)
We were listening to { this } talk by Elder Perry recently, where he recounts that in his family on each child's first birthday they would line up a bottle, a bible, a toy, and a piggy bank. Then they would let their one-year-old go and see which one they chose. This was supposed to show what they would be interested in as life progressed. Isabelle told me that we just had to do this on Pace's birthday!:
However...without any hesitation he headed directly for the piggy bank!:
We will have to see if he pursues a career in finance like Elder Perry:)
THEN the evening got more and more exciting because Pace took his first three unassisted steps! He was pretty excited about Caden's camera and walked over to try and get his hands on it. Luckily Caden was pointing it right and him and this is what his face looked like right after he took those first three steps!:
Priceless. Complete look of exhilaration on the face of our little "Wild Bill".
That is awesome that he took his first steps on his birthday!
ReplyDeleteAh ha ha! I can't get enough of these pictures! Especially the "hugging his presents" and "taking his first steps" ones!
ReplyDeleteWow, that year went by fast. Maybe since I've only actually seen him once, I think. Those are cute pictures! It will be really easy to remember when he took his first steps! Heidi
