Lawrence Matthew Rupp Turns 1 Year Old!!

It's hard to believe that the baby who weighed in at 9 lbs 21 1/2 inches long on November 3, 1997 is now one year old, 18lb 8 oz and 28 1/2 inches long! Where does the time go? We all love him so very much and
have found him to be an extra blessing through this time of mourning Felicia's death!

Is this for me?

Lawrence liked unwrapping the paper as much as the present that was inside and he also enjoyed looking at the cards and listening to us read them to him!

We held a small family party to celebrate his first birthday and he was just thrilled to see all the people!

CAKE!!

Lawrence wasn't real sure what to think about the cake with the candle lit in front of him until everyone sang to him and he smiled! Then we put a giant piece in front of him and at first he just picked at the icing, and then he let loose by picking up half the piece and tossing it across the room! After getting the reaction he had desired, he alternated between eating and throwing pieces of the cake in front of him!
