The first year of your life is complete, and it went by so much faster than I could have ever imagined. We had such a fun year, and you learned, grew, and explored in so many ways. At a year old you are 19 pounds, 11 ounces and 29 and 2/8 inches tall. Tall and skinny just like your dad. You still have only six teeth, but judging by the amount of drool that I have seen lately I would say that you are working on some more. Dr M was very impressed with the number of words that you say consistently. That number is currently 10, with those words being: Mama, Dada, Joka, Up, Milk, Water, All done, Please, Papa,and Potty. Everyone you meet us still astounded by your calm, happy nature, and your easy smile. You get overwhelmed when you are in a large group of people, especially other kids that you don't know. This results in you staring intensely at your surroundings, and not really doing much else. You can walk, but refuse to completely let go of whoever is holding your hand. You will loosely hold my finger, and walk confidently, but if I try to let go, you sit down and crawl. We have been having an unseasonably warm Spring, so we spend almost every day at the park, and you love feeling the wind on your face, exploring the grass, and watching people play sports. I am excited for the summer because I know it will be a lot of fun to let you play at the beach at Sandy Pines, and run around with your cousins and friends.
We celebrated your birthday with a big party at Nana and Papa's house. You are so popular that 40 people came to celebrate you! You ate an ENTIRE cupcake (very neatly, and slowly), opened a lot of gifts, and got passed around so everyone could hug you and tell you "happy birthday!" . You were calm, and content the whole day, despite the fact that you were up all night the previous night. We are so grateful for our friends and family who love you so much, and love to celebrate you!
