Birthday boy!

Today is Dempsey's birthday! He's exactly (as of 2:35 this morning) 1 year old!

Contrary to what you might think, we do not celebrate Dempsey's birthday every month. However, we do take a ton of pictures and videos, so for practically every month, we have a picture taken within a day or two of his birthday.

It's hard to believe how quickly he's grown! When we're out in public now, Dempsey sometimes gets mistaken for a fully trained service dog. And to think just a year ago, he looked like this. (Dempsey, by the way, was known as "Norm" back then.)

We need to go take care of the cat now, but in the meantime, please enjoy this little Dempsey retrospective. We'll have more pics (hopefully) later tonight.

  1. Happy Birthday, Dempsey! I always felt that first birthdays were the most important. I love the photos showing us how you've grown up :) I'm also very happy, I read this in yesterday's post, to hear about Bailey. I can't wait to hear she's doing even better.
    Twink!
