Happy Birthday, George!

My baby is one!

Wait, my baby is ONE?!


Looking at you, with your big smile and puppy dog face (and hands, and feet!), it's hard to imagine life before you.  Sure we existed, but having you in our family this past year has added more joy, laughter, and love than I ever thought possible.

Who knew that crazy, stormy day would bring one of the brightest lights my heart would ever know.

You are your sister's #1 side kick, Daddy's puppy, and my favorite buddy ever!  Simply put, you charm us.

You woke up early this morning (6am) ready to celebrate, and spent the day playing in the circus tent and walking around with the TV remote attached to your paw.

Tonight we went to Torerros with Dad, Sissy, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Victor, and Catherine to celebrate.  You loved eating ice cream and cruising around the restaurant after dinner.

We told them it was your birthday, and when everyone came to the table singing to you, you looked up in total awe.  Never mind the ice cream sitting right in front of you, you wanted to absorb every moment of attention.


And then you focused on your ice cream  :)



You have grown so much in the past few weeks and have transitioned to a toddler before our very eyes!

Here are your new news this month:
  • "Dat!" (while pointing at something) and "uh-oh" are your go-to words
  • The TV remote is your favorite toy
  • You love baths and pools and think splashing is hilarious
  • Coughing and sneezing crack you up
  • You're walking everywhere!
  • You're still taking 2 naps a day.  1 1/2-2 hours in the morning around 9:30, and 2 hours in the afternoon around 1-1:30
  • You've started sleeping through the night but wake at 6am.  On the nights you still wake to nurse (between 2-4am), you will sleep until 7am. 
  • When you're especially happy to see us in the morning / after naps, you kick your knees up toward your tummy, wrapping your arms around me tight, and give what I call The Frog Hug  :)
  • You wear 12-18 month clothes and size 5 1/2 shoes
  • You enjoy going down the slide at the park 

Sadly, you came down with Sissy's cold today, so we put you to bed early in hopes that you'll feel better tomorrow (and fully recovered for your party on Saturday)

Tomorrow we go to your one year appointment, so baby stats are still to come!

I love you more than all the stars, my sweet boy.

A happiest of birthdays to you
