People (parents) kept telling us that "time flies"... and as Deavan passes the one year mark, it's really incredibly just how true that is. Not just that weeks or months flew by - the minutes, hours and days absolutely disappear! Changes happen so fast - things that seemed de rigeur at the time - like having him fall asleep on your chest for 2 hours while you watched a movie on the couch - are distant memories. Do I even remember when he couldn't crawl, rollover or hold up his head?! Tempus fugit...
He had a great first birthday party; he had just started taking his first steps in the few days prior and so made a grand entrance to much fanfare. Thanks to everyone who came (including his "other" girlfriend, Kate - shhhh... don't tell Elena... he's playing the field!) and made it such a fun, special occasion!

*** Aunt Renata did a grrreat job on the birthday cake!! | *** Showing off his festive plaid with Grandpa Slivinski. |
*** We've been having to closely monitor Deavan's diet, so giving him birthday cake was a bit of a gamble - he had some fun mushing it up, but wasn't too interested in taste testing. | *** The centre of attention. He tried blowing out the candle, and then decided he'd rather reach for it instead. |
Missed in the previous post... here is a picture of Ruby earning her supper, harnessed and pulling Deavan in his sled. Dad stayed out front in case a bit of extra pulling power was required, while Mom was the caboose, providing any necessary course corrections through the twisty bits. Deavan relaxes in the middle, loving to drag his hands through the snow. He had a great time... even if the scenery never changes. ;-D
