1 year and a celebration

Lennon: How oh how are you 1 year old already? Trite as it may sound, it seems as though only yesterday we were driving home with you in the wee small hours of the morning. The first year of your life has been an incredible blessing. You bring light and joy in your daddy's life and mine daily. You are a blessing to all those who love you.

The party: you were a bit spoiled, and we did go a little overboard. Mimi and Aunt Jessie were a tremendous help with decorating for your "multi-colored" themed party.





The cake: you didn't care much for it to be honest. You aren't one for sweets yet, and that is just fine with me. You did enjoy sharing your cake with the dogs.



At 1 year old you:
Weigh 19 pounds 14 ounces and are 29.5 inches tall.
Have begun cruising on the furniture, but still show little interest in walking
Are an amazing communicator: you are acquiring new signs weekly.
Are still getting up once in the middle of the night to nurse-you're so snuggly I don't mind
You are feisty. You let us know what you want or don't want.


You like:
Cooper
Swimming
Being outside
Being the center of attention
Signing time
Yogurt, veggie burgers, spinach
Feeding yourself
Water
Daddy chasing you around the house

You don't like:
Diaper changes
Church nursery
Riding in the car for long periods of time


We are looking forward to all that we get to experience with you this next year. We thank God for you daily and pray you will grow up to love and serve Him.
