My little baby Gray turned 1 on April 19th! I can't believe how fast
this year has gone by. I took him in for his one year check up last
week. He weighs
almost 20 lbs (19 lbs. 14 oz.). The boy just
keeps getting taller! Now he is in the 85th percentile for height. The
poor thing had to get 6 shots and a finger prick. He was not happy!
Otherwise, he's doing great. He's doing all of the things a one year
old should be doing. He started taking steps right before his birthday
and is now officially walking. He points and makes sounds to tell us
just what he wants. He gets into everything! He loves to dance when he
hears music. He loves to play with Jeffrey and Hannah. He is
generally pretty happy, but definitely wants me to hold him a lot. He
still isn't a great sleeper. He will eat almost anything I give him to
try and pushes my hand away when he's done or better yet just throws
everything on the floor, including his drink. He loves to wave and clap
and point and show me where his belly button is. He has such a great
smile! We just love this little guy.
We invited everyone to his monkey party to celebrate. I asked my
cute neighbor to make a banner, a cute birthday sign, some cupcake
toppers and a few other little things to make the party special.
Everything turned out so cute. The birthday boy had a lot of fun! He
did get a little tired and decided to take a nap in the middle of the
party. Eventually, he woke up and we were able to sing happy birthday
and let him open his presents.
A little side story: This top shelf came crashing down minutes before the party. It scratched the wall, broke my lamp and another frame, and scratched the table. Needles to say, it left a big mess!
Hannah decided to put on some make up for the party!
He just woke up, so it was hard to get him too excited about the cake.
Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate his special day!
