We actually had your Birthday party the weekend before you turned 1. We were heading to Bucklin the weekend you actually turned 1 so, we celebrated with friends and family early.
Pizza was on the menu for lunch, then mommy made homemade ice cream and got your cake from Walmart. You opened a ton of new toys and clothes, which you have seemed to enjoy all of them. The clothes were perfect for the hot summer. Then it was time to do your "smash cake", you weren't interested hardly at all. You played with it a little but there really wasn't any smashing. After your party ended most of the family stuck around and talked while you, Connor and Colton went swimming. After we got everyone down for a nap your Uncles decided it was a good idea for everyone to get their suits back on and we go to the Wakefield City pool. The kids loved it!
On your real birthday, July 2 we took your to your 1 year check-up. Trust me we heard how many times we were bad parents making you do that on your birthday but you won't even remember it and the only way you will know is when you read this or someone tells you. Anyways you were 29 3/4 in tall which was the 72% for your age, 19 lbs and 6 oz which was the 44% and your head was 45 cm and the 50%. The doctor thought everything looked perfect and you were actually on track with an 18 month old based on your speech, walking etc. The doctor gave you a cookie for your birthday when she was done, but then the nurse had to come in and give you your 4 shots that you needed. As you usual you cried but who is to blame you. After those were over the nurse gave you another cookie which made things all better. After that appointment we had to walk next door so you could get your blood drawn. Of course once again you cried but once again no one is blaming you for that. After that we got in the car and headed to Bucklin.
For being 1 you have 8 teeth and your 4 molars are working their way in, which hasn't made for a fun few weeks but it is getting better. You are walking everywhere and love to torture your puppy. Solid foods are getting better, and we actually found a sippy cup you will drink milk out of. You are completely off formula (thank god!) and get 1 bottle of milk at night. The milk transition hasn't been that easy as people have seen from my post on facebook, but with the new sippy cup we are getting better. I would say your favorite food right now is yogurt, strawberries and hot dogs.
I think that is all for now, hopefully your mom can keep this blog going with updates on you and our lives!!!
Enjoy some photos from you Birthday party!!!
