          Ryan 
              and his parents celebrated his 1st birthday party at Seward Park, 
              which runs along Lake Washington. It was a bit cool and windy, but 
              the sun was out, and the babies were out as well. SO MANY BABIES. 
              Ryan was happy the whole time - I think at some point he realized 
              that this was all for him. And he was cool with that. 
              He also enjoyed his birthday cake, which up to now is the most bad-for-him 
              thing he's ever had.  |
