Our BIG one year old!!

I've had so many emotions this last little while--being Boston's first birthday and all. I just can't believe my baby is already one. His birthday was last Saturday--it's just been a crazy week that I haven't gotten around to blogging! Here are some pictures on November 20, 2009!

Seconds old...

Holding him for the first time

It's so crazy how little they really are huh? AND this was one year later--November 20th, 2010!!!

My mom completely spoils him with toys...his blow up fire truck.

This could be my favorite picture of all time. He didn't sleep really well the previous night so Jeff got up with him at 5am because he wanted to play. At 7am I woke up to this...both crashed on the couch. LOVE this.

We got him this...he walks all over the house with it.

'What the heck guys??'

 Our friends gave him this stuff...cars, footballs, bath toys...etc!! My dad got him a way cool four-wheeler car and he loves that too! My mom got him sensory balls, this ball thing where it shoots the balls everywhere and cars. He LOVES cars. He was spoiled on his birthday!

His cake--which by the way he didn't even touch! I kinda had to smash his hand in it to make it look like he tore into it...but he didn't.

See?? Not the slightest interest in the cake. So I ate it over the next four days...:)

Our friends and family! I am so grateful for Boston...he brings so much joy in our lives it's crazy!! At one year Boston weighs 22.5 lbs and is 31 inches tall. 50th percentile for weight and 90th for height (go figure :) Some funny things Boston does--when he wakes up he jumps in his crib and that's what wakes us up, when I do my make up he steals the brushes and crawls around with them almost all day, he loves flowers, loves cars and pushes them around using one finger, loves when the dishwasher is open, says dada (not sure if he knows what he is saying, but when we work with him, it sure sounds like he is trying to say it), takes off in church for the doors, and plays with the stoppers (which are LOUD), has 10 teeth (two molars), loves playing the kids, loves when you chase him, when you make an ugly face at him--he'll try to do it back by scrunching his nose and showing his teeth (it's soo funny), loves being thrown in the air, has taken 3 steps, is SOO fast at crawling, pushes everything around (chairs, highchairs), isn't that great at eating :/, hates when Jeff leaves, BUT crawls to him the second he walks in the door, when you're holding him--he tilts his head and looks right at your face, pushes his nose into your nose, won't take a sippy cup, loves milk and he is still terrified of the vacuum. We love our little guy.
