I can’t believe it! I turned one on Saturday! I’m a whole year old. Mom and Dad can’t believe that its been a year since I was born. Boy does time go by quickly…
I had a great birthday party. Just my favorite people. Grandpa and his friend Anne. Aunt Ashley, Uncle Steve (and his mom!), and my new cousin Ellie. And my great-Grandma Betty. It was perfect because there weren’t too many people there and everyone was there to celebrate me! (Last year, Emmett was a little overwhelmed at his birthday party and ended up hiding in the master bathroom shower, so Mom and Dad opted for a small turnout for my party.)
I had almost an entire cupcake all by myself! It was great, you should check out the pictures. I sucked on the cupcake for, like, 10 minutes. When I finally pulled the cupcake away from my mouth, there was a big hole where I’d eaten all the frosting that I could. I just repeated this process until there wasn’t much frosting left and then I moved onto the cake portion… It was great.
I got some great presents too. They were almost all car related, but I got a great toy for the bath as well. Emmet has really been helping me break in the toys. Mostly helping. Sometimes demanding.
I saw the pediatrician yesterday for my one year check up. Everything went fantastic. OK. So, I’m a bit behind on my leg strength, but I keep making good progress with kneeling and standing so no one is worried. I chalk it up to how tightly I was packed before I was born. There really wasn’t much room in there! So it’s going to take me a bit more time to start walking. But I’ll get there! Don’t you worry!
