So, it's been a while.

Yeah, yeah, it's been a while. Few of you know that I'm actually a backup center fielder for the Kansas City Royals, so I had to take off blogging during baseball season…

So, a few things have happened in the past few months.
First of all, my little person keeps getting bigger, louder and more mobile. Here are some pics:

August 10 to 12 months

Specifically, he got that wild mop of hair on his head cut down to something more manageable. Here's how that went:

Auggie's First Haircut

Also, it's been about a year since they had that swimming party (to which I was NOT invited). Apparently that's a big deal. Because a whole bunch of people came over…AND THEY KICKED ME OUT AGAIN! I don't understand why everyone is so mean to me, but here are some pics from their malicious celebration:

August's First Birthday Party

Augs threw a party at his school, too. Lots of little people eating lots of sugar. Fantastic.

First Birthday at the Academy

The kid can walk, by the way. But he's really slow. I can totally take him. I'll try to find some video of me running circles around him for your viewing pleasure.
