On Loic's first birthday we had a pizza and cake party in his honor. He enjoyed hours of playing with balloons (and friends and family) and the cake was pretty tip top too. His grandma, Popo came up from Portland, as did his Aunt Dana, Uncle Matt, and cousins Lydia and Isaiah. It was a really special day for me too. I was very aware of what was happening just one year ago. We are so in love with our little boy.
It was a beautiful day but Loic was sick. I thought fresh air was needed by both of us so we went to Salmon Bay park. Loic was low energy and spend lots of time swinging quietly. He also practiced his standing in the soft wood chips.
Loic and I went to West Seattle for a walk with a friend. After our stroll, we spent some time by the water observing the scene. Loic was pretty enthralled with the vista, including birds, kids playing, and a water taxi.
