1 Year

I can't believe our little guy made it to 1 year - but he did it.  He survived!!  His birthday was a very long day.  We had just gotten back to the US and were all pretty jet lagged.  We managed to keep him up for dinner and cake.  He wasn't too happy about it, but we had to document the occasion.


Like I said....it had been a long day just in case the crying and eye rubbing didn't give it away.

 I'm pretty sure we all felt this way

As for his recent milestones....he:
* loves to jam out to music.  Whenever he hears it he starts doing his own little dance.  It's pretty darn cute.
* finally weaned off of the binky - he was a lot more attached than the girls have ever been so we were worried.  After his only binky getting ran over by a car, we figured it was time.
*He goes to sleep like a champ as long as he's in the crib....when we're out and about getting him to take a nap is a major struggle.
* has the sweetest smile.  His whole face lights up and he's just so dang cute!
* LOVES balls.  Basketball, bouncy ball....any kind of ball.  He likes to throw, but he's even better at kicking them.
* has the cutest brown eyes.  They kind of melt your heart....talk about a good puppy face.
* has a way of making you feel like everything is going to be okay, especially when he gives you a good hug.
*speaking of hugs...he is a cuddler and gives the best snuggles.
* also knows what he wants....and is very loud when he doesn't get what he wants.
