Ian's first birthday was April 7, 2008. I think he had a really fun day. We started the day at the Dallas Zoo. I forgot to bring the stroller but Ian didn't seem to care - he walked the whole day! He had so much fun exploring that we stayed until closing time. He loved the penguins the most but also liked the monkeys and gorillas. You can see lots more photos of the zoo on Jeremy's Flickr website - http://www.flickr.com/photos/jprowland.

After our trip home and a nap, we had a little party in the backyard. There were lots of presents from family who couldn't be there and cupcakes and ice cream! It was a special day for us celebrating the incredible joy Ian has brought to us over the past year!







Ian loved the penguins!
