1st Birthday

Ed had a fabulous 1st birthday! He got lots of cool presents, but the stars of the show were the wrapping paper and boxes. :-) He also got to eat a big cupcake and made a huge mess of it. But what else is a kid to do with icing and cake! He LOVED the cupcake and couldn't get enough of it. Cici and Granddaddy got to come up for his big day since they were staying with him for a week while Mommy and Daddy went on vacation.

We also had his one year checkup today. He is 29.75 inches long and weighs 21.6 lbs. He has slowed down on his growing, but we feel like he looks so much more like a little boy than a baby now. I guess it's due to the fact that he is losing more of his baby fat and also walking. He pretty much walks everywhere now and is so happy doing it. It's amazing how good he's gotten at it in just a week. Oh, and no more formula...on to real milk for this big boy. :-) Now, if we could only get him out of diapers....

Here are some pictures from his b-day!
*note- Please pay no attention to the date on the pictures (Cici/Granddaddy- turn that off). :-)

Time for presents!
