My Family Birthday Party

Mommy and Daddy misplaced the camera again when we moved! Fortunately, my cousin Katie took a few pictures at my family birthday party. I had the BEST time that day! There were 30 of my relatives over at our new house for a barbeque, and the Antique Car Show was going on just a block away! My Grandma Libby made my cake. I got lots of really fun presents, including a musical table, books, a ladybug that I can ride on, blocks, and a truck... to name a few! I had my 12 month check up with the doctor on September 15th. I weighed 19lbs 6oz, and was 30 inches long. It looks like I'm going to take after my mommy in the weight department... I was only in the 15th percentile! The doctor was very pleased with how I am doing and said I looked great! I have been teething up a storm. I have three teeth on the bottom, plus a fourth that is really close to coming in. I have my two front teeth on top, but they have barely broken the surface, and I am working on two more up there as well. I have learned how to point to things that I want, or that I would like Mommy and Daddy to look at. I have also learned how to walk with my little walker toy, but have not taken my first unassisted steps yet. My newest discovery is the toilet paper roll. I just love to unroll it all over the floor! Mommy and Daddy can tell I am understanding more of what they say now, and are anxious to see what my next word will be. My favorite things right now are dogs and airplanes. Mommy and I go looking for both on our walks each day. Hopefully Mommy and Daddy will find their camera while they are unpacking more of the boxes this weekend. I'm sure they will be taking a ton of pictures of me once they find it!

Happy Birthday to me!

I just loved the crinkle of the tissue paper!

  1. Sarah--he is growing and changing so fast! His little face is looking more and more "little boy" and less "baby"! (Not to be depressing...) Tell me about that cake! Your creation?

  2. Nope! My mom made it! She still had all of her cake pans from when Joe and I were little and volunteered to do it. And yes, I am well aware of the baby to little boy change that is going on. I just can't believe how big he is getting!
