Happy Birthday Silas

This was the first night we brought our little boy home from the hospital.

Silas Cary Smith, seeing you in the NICU was so hard, but I've always known you were in God's hands since we first found out about you.

It made seeing you at peace that much sweeter.

And now all you do is smile... especially at the thought of a bunch of your images all over the wall.

Nothing like some good cupcakes to keep the party going.

Thanks for rocking the shades Max!

Of course Silas wanted to watch the Masters on his birthday too.

Didn't know how I was going to get all the balloons and Silas home in our little car. We made it work.

Daddy got Silas ready for the Masters!

While I got the party ready. You may not remember this when you're old Si, but Mommy had fun doing it.

Our sweet boy was spoiled right on his first birthday.

Happy Birthday Bud. You'll always be our baby boy.

"His legs flail about as if independent from his body!"

If you are a "Friends" watcher as I have been known to be, you will appreciate that quote. I am getting to see the Chandler Bing's greatest fear--Michael Flatley and the "Lord of the Dance" performance. I am so excited! I've seen a lot of different types of performances in my lifetime (even the gravely strange or soberly artistic modern dance shows), but I've never seen an Irish Riverdance! My mom got tickets for us back in October for my birthday. She is so astute and thoughtful! In case you aren't familiar with "Lord of the Dance." Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Mr. Flately's Dance: "Lord of the Dance is an Irish musical and dance production that was created, choreographed, and produced by Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley, who also took a starring role. Michael Flatley found his first fame starring in Riverdance, but he left the show in 1995 before its debut in London after a disagreement over creative control. F

When you smile...

The whole world smiles! This was his very first "conscious smile" Who says you can't dress up little boys for fun too? Silas enjoyed sleeping at the lake instead of fishing or swimming. Anyone surprised? Our newest pastime consists of singing to Silas until he shows us his new array of smiles. Matthew discovered this newest ability when he began singing a classical ballad... I won't embarrass him by naming the lyrics. It doesn't matter how tired you are, this will make everything better! I mean come on. Are you still having a bad day? Did that make it better yet!? Had my first few outing without the little man to go to coffee, dance, and this beautiful woman's wedding shower. Love you Christi! Thanks to my old roomie for some over-sized coffee mugs to start my day right. A cup of joe and the Word make life worth living. This is his favorite gesture. I think he's solving the world's problems. That a boy Silas. I knew
