July 18, 2011 -- Michael Isaac Sweatheart Chubster Wonderboy is one year old!
What a cool little dude!
While Wai-gong & Wai-po were still here we had a 3-way joint party for Wai-gong (age 47), my pal Qiu fen (21) and Mikey boy (1). The guest list was simple: Our family, four college seniors, four young adult orphans who I met at the welfare center.
Little Brother, Big Brother
Check out this collection of pictures comparing Mike & Titus at their first birthdays.
Hair
Mike's hair has been cut or buzzed at least six times.
Titus hadn't yet seen a scissors or clippers.
(No we did not dedicate him as a Nazarite.)
Rip Into It
Cake(s)
For Second-born...someone picked a cake up from the store.
For First-born: First-time over-zealous mom baked four or five different cakes.
She was slightly ridiculous.
Addingtons Like Apples
There's this Chinese game: Array a few items on the floor and see which one your baby picks. It says something about his future. What...we can only guess. Mike picked the apple.
Titus chose the apple too. They said "He will live in the Big Apple" or "He will bear good fruit" or "His life will be peaceful" (In Chinese 'apple' sounds like the word for 'peace').
Eat It
I want to show you more pictures of Mike. Maybe tomorrow?
Do you guys think Titus & Mike look alike? Who looks like Dad? Who looks like Mom?
Happy Birthday Buddy! You look exactly like your Grandpa Jon!!!! I don't think the boys look very alike. They look like siblings, but very different. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteSo cute! They DO look alike, besides the haircut and different eyes. I think Mikey might look more like you, Rachel? And I like your hair too!
ReplyDeleteI noticed you were in the same apartment for both birthdays! I was thinking you had been in that first apartment longer than that! Wow!
Everyone is always afraid to tell me that Gavrel looks just like Jon and not at all like me. I think that's funny because he DOES look like Jon! I guess they're just afraid of offending me. I think it's great that he looks like Jon, and I think it's great that your boys look like Drew, too! :-) Although, I can see you in Titus. Can't wait to see our little Addington men together! Love you all!
ReplyDeleteWow, love all these great pictures. I think Mike definitely looks more like Drew and Titus definitely looks more like you! It looks like a fun party. You really are an excellent host.
ReplyDeleteBoth of the boys are very handsome. But I think Titus and Calvin look a lot alike, which leads me to believe Titus looks more like Mom, Michael more like Dad.
