We celebrated Malekai's (ChewBang) first birthday today! He took his first steps at last Saturday night's fellowship and is now zooming around with a great deal of energy and zeal. He can be seen here clapping as we sang "Happy Birthday" to him.
He enjoyed his birthday cake but was especially taken with the ice cream cones.
Willam and his Grandpa Frank. Frank noted that William licks his ice cream cones quickly, like a lizard.
It was a long weekend for our birthday boy. He and I slapped congas together on Saturday night. The "bang" part of his nickname "ChewBang" is well-deserved. When he got bored later, I taught him some simple rhythms and we slapped them together on the kitchen table. He did them perfectly...at barely a year old! He pooped out after cake and ice cream on Sunday and I had to get this shot. He had his hands on a bag of birthday party goodies and had also found a purse. He was probably going to empty the purse and put it all back in....he spends a lot of time emptying stuff out - whatever he can find - and then putting it back in...over and over.
