Today is an exciting day, of course, because Chase turned one. We had a small party to celebrate. It was attended by Mike, my parents and Emilie's mom. We had some cake and Chase opened a few presents. Although he finally ate some of the cake he doesn't seem to like it, generally speaking. We had a pre-birthday celebration with Emilie's family on Monday night and he wouldn't eat the cake then either. Weird.

This is either a freaked-out-by-the-candles picture or an I-want-to-grab-fire picture:

There were several candles on the cake, which were placed in the shape of the number 1. I just don't want any cake/candle purists complaining about having too many candles, so I figured that I better explain.
