Balloons

As you can see from these pictures, Dawson had a lot of balloons for his 1st Birthday. Thy floated around the house for several weeks after the party. And he just discovered a sick looking balloon behind his crib three days ago.
I didn't get any pictures or video of the incident I'm about to describe, so I'm blogging it to hep us remember.
One morning, not long after waking, I was playing with Dawson in his room when he decided to go after some stray balloons. He was able to hold one and shake it around while the other kept bouncing just above his head. Eventually, the 'free' balloon built up enough static that it stuck to the back of Dawson's head. As Dawson kept twirling around, looking for the balloon, it would detach momentarily and then come to rest again just above the back of his head. As the balloon settled back down on his back, Dawson would giggle/squeal in joy, twirl around - generally having the time of his life. I've seen Dawson do a lot of heart-meltingly adorable things, but that might be an all-time favorite memory.
