Kurt has always reminded me of Curious George. My sister Ylfe made him a curious george rag quilt when he was a baby and gave him a big george stuffed animal that has been in his crib his whole life. So he loves and recognizes George as a good friend. When it came time for him to dig into his yellow hat cake he picked around at it, then siblings and cousins began picking at it and trying to show him to eat it. Whenever a bite of cake was put in his mouth he'd spit it out. I'm not sure what that says about my cake making skills...hmmm. Happy 1st Birthday Kurt!
Kurt was so happy with his birthday pizza. My sister Tess sent him a b-day card with some stickers that he became very attached to. He's holding them in most of the pictures. The stickers are now covered with pizza grease and frosting. And the wiggley eyes are long gone. 
Christmas was extra special this year because we got to see all our Baird side siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles nieces and nephews. It was a crazy blast! Adam and Elida and their boys came from Yuma Arizona for a couple weeks. Ylfe and Shawn came with their bunch from California for a few days after Christmas. Tess came for a few days husbandless from Idaho. Jandi and Kenny blessed their little baby Myles. Brigham and Tyra and their little ones are just a hop skip and a jump over in Estacada as well as Mom and Dad. There was never a dull moment with all the cousins at play. We got to celebrate Dave's birthday all together. The most special moment I had was during sacrament meeting (we all attended the Molalla River Ward for Myles blessing). We were singing Away in a Manger and I looked around and saw my parents and all my brothers and sisters and my husband and my children. It was amazing. Here are a few highlight pictu
