Yo Shorty, It's Yo' Birfday

Today is my nephew Joey's first birthday -- yaaaaaaaaaaaay!

It's been a crazy year, what with the growing and noisemaking and teething and whatnot, but it's been super awesome.

And believe me, kid, you've earned the right to go bananas! Stick your fingers in that delicious icing and fall face first into that cupcake.

Or crawl around on the floor chewing on a cup and pretending you're an elephant. Do whatever you want to do -- it's your special day.

Yo shorty, it's yo' birfday, and we gonna party like it's yo' birfday. Party up, little man. (*raises the roof*) And then groove it on down.
