Joseph is 1! Actually, he is one plus a week and a half, because that is how the blogging goes these days. But he is the most delightful 1 year-week-and-a-half old you could ask for and we all - including Riley, especially Riley - adore the living daylights out of him.

Joe had a good birthday. We didn't even make him get in the car and go anywhere (we have driven over 5,000 miles this month and let's just say, the car is not his favorite ...). He got chocolate mint torte cake, because he loves mint, and some new toys. Riley even let him play with them in brief fifteen-second rotations. I believe he felt celebrated. I hope so - he is a joy and I cannot imagine our home without his happy, inquisitive, sensitive, silly, emphatic self.

| This is where he sits while waiting for me to make his breakfast - Grandma D always gets a smile and a cuddle first thing. |

| Joseph and Riley partying in the camper during 4th of July fireworks. Bear in mind, it was too dark to see what they were up too, so we just pointed the camera toward the giggling and these are what the flash revealed. |
The last one before I rescued Riley:
So we have Joe stealing her binky, smacking her across the chest, and pulling her hair. Good thing sister has a sense of humor! (She clearly was having a blast.)

| Joe's favorite perch at the cabin was quite wobbly, and he fell off more than once. Likes his fun with a side of danger I guess. |

Joe Mav, you have our hearts.
The silly videos of him walking will have to keep for another day cause it's past this girl's bedtime. But once we get settled - we are moving into our dreamy vintage apartment in St. Paul soon we hope - then I will show you a guy who knows how to fall a LOT, and get right back up again.
And you'll love it whether you like it or not.
Goodnight Neverlaaaaaaaaand!
