Fun to be One!

Well, mostly fun...but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Apparently, yesterday I had something called a birthday. For the most part it was like most other days except all day long people sang "Happy Birthday" to me. I like when people sing with me. I even join in sometimes.

For my birthday, Mom sent me to daycare. Yep! Well, you know, I really like daycare because there are other kids to play with like my girlfriend, Carli. Mom thought I would have more fun there than at home with her (And don't tell her I said so, but she was right).

But what really made me excited was that Mommy didn't come to get me; Grandpa Rick did! And when I got home G.G. and Mommy were waiting for me with more of that Happy Birthday business.

I got a birthday present...a new toy for the bathtub. Mommy says I'll get more presents at my party on Sunday. I also got to eat birthday cake! It's actually my 2nd of 4 birthday cakes! I had one for my 1 year portraits. I had the one yesterday for my birthday. I'm having one tomorrow at daycare because we're having a party to celebrate Carli's and my birthdays (hers is June 19). And I'm having one Sunday at my party! It just doesn't get any better than this! Anyway, the cake was yummy. I made sure to make a big mess, but I don't think G.G. liked it very much.

This morning we left the house bright and early to go see my doctor for my check-up. Here are the official numbers. I weigh 22 pounds and 13 ounces which is in the 50th percentile, and I am 30.5 inches tall which is in the 75th percentile. I am doing just about everything I should be developmentally, although we do need to work on talking a bit more. Don't get me wrong, I talk all the time. However, I'm supposed to start connecting the words and sounds I say with what they mean. The doctor was a little surprised that I didn't know at least two words yet. I've just been busy working on other things. I'll get there.

Of course no check-up would be complete without Mommy letting those nurses poke me with some needles. I got a shot in both legs which included the first round of a vaccine for chicken pox. What do chickens have to do with me?

So, overall, having a birthday is pretty awesome, and I haven't even had my party yet! You are coming, right?

Here are some pictures from yesterday. You can see them all at my photobucket album. In case you can't make it to my party on Sunday, I'll be sure to post a blog all about it.

All ready for bed on the last day of my first year!


The first pic of the day. Happy Birthday to me!


Come on Mom. Let's go already!

Off to daycare.


My first birthday present

Can someone open this for me?

What's the plate for anyway?

I know what it's for: to EAT!
