Happy 1st Birthday, J.Q.
May you have a hundred and fifty more, and smoosh a generous serving of cake into your hair on each and every one.
If you took everything else that's good in the world, compacted it into a sphere, inserted it in a mammoth interstellar waffle cone and drizzled it with butterscotch, I still wouldn't love it 1/1000th as much as I love you, little boy.
Note: The person holding J.Q in the cake-carnage shot is his grandpa (dyetta, in pidgin Russo-kranian). His given name begins with a "B", but since he's small, wise and somewhat wrinkled, everyone in our family has referred to him as "Boda" for the past decade. Nicknames just don't get much cooler than that (although last night, while Sam and I were discussing the Bean Bag Chair Manufacturer Mafia [a long an convoluted conversation, and one which came AFTER the one about which part of Post-It notes a tapeworm would be allowed eat {only the sticky part, duh}], I came up with the ultimate B.B.C.M.M. member name: Joey "The Pellet" Fagiola).

What a milestone. Congratulations are in order, though mostly to the parents!
Doesn't that feel like such a Big Thing, to have successfully raised a baby for one whole year? And for me it feels so different to be a family with a one-year-old than one with a baby. It feels more real, I guess. He is gorgeous and looks like a clever little mofo already.
(And perhaps you could elaborate on what led to either the Post-It Note conversation or the beanbag chair conversation? Any marriage where both parties can participate enthusiastically in such a dialogue is likely to survive tough times, I think).
"The Pellet" -- what an excellent sobriquet. Jimmy "The Bead" and Ralphy "The Cush(ier)" just don't strike that same ominous tone.
In other news, JQ looks fetching with the cake mouth. Happy birthday little!
Your stripey guy is AAAAAAAAHHHHH cute.
Seriously. I'm screaming.
Happy birthday, little dude.
Lordy, he's cute. My ovaries are twitching. STOP THAT.
Aww - so cute! Happy Birthday JQ! Did he get frosting in his hair? Or yours? :-)
Aw. He looks...edible. Though that may be because of the butterscotch reference.
Oh, and "Fagiola?" Nice touch.
Oh, he is CUTE!
