Our baby has turned 1! I'm in shock at how fast it all happened. His stats for his birthday are:
Height: 28.5 inches (born at 19.5")
Weight: 20.0 lbs (born at 7.7 lbs)
The great news of this is that he is out of single digit percentiles too! Way to grow, little man.
Yesterday we celebrated his birthday with a little party at the waterside park a few blocks from our house. The sun was shining, family including our nieces, nephew, close friends and their children were all there to help celebrate in style. I attempted and succeeded in making Anderson a cake that looked like a turtle. It was perfect (minus the missing east coast family) and he had a ball. For his actual birthday today, Dawn took the day off of work to spend it with Anderson. Anderson got to go to the park and play with his cousins and then headed to the doctors for his well baby checkup and shots.
The past month has been very fun and full of excitement. Shortly after the last blog post (as in one day), Anderson decided to give crawling the boot pretty much. He's walking all about and getting more and more steady on his feet everyday. He's fairly reckless and just take spills that you would think hurt. I guess not because he just dusts himself off and gets right back at it. We also traveled to Cabo San Lucas Mexico for a little R&R. It was actually the trip we planned to take before my maternity leave ended but that pesky little hurricane got in the way. We has a good time and learned that Anderson HATES the sand. He saw it and cried. We eventually coaxed him into sitting in the sand without crying by letting him play with a rinsed out Pacifico bottle - on day 3.
What else is there to say? We're in a daze of happiness. He's just so freaking amazing it sounds corny to put it into words.
Here's Anderson's first picture with Julius (1 week old) and his most recent one taken today.
