Ian turned 1 !

Yeah, this post is officially a few weeks late, but Ian's birthday was a blast! I think in total 50 people were at his party, with lots of babies/toddlers all around. Polka dot balloons were the big hit, except our birthday boy would cry each time one popped. But BALLOON was his official first word, can you believe it? Here are a few snapshots from that day...

There were way more kiddos than this, but these are the ones whose parents

were brave enough to throw them on the couch!

Our friend Heidi made this delicious cupcake cake- white chocolate raspberry!

Our official family photo taken on our back porch!

Enjoying his smashcake!

His 12 month stats are as follows:

35%percentile for weight
50%percentile for height

-cruises all around the house and loves to stand alone, but has not taken steps on his own
-first word was "balloon", also says "dog" and "dada" and babbles constantly
-loves to point at everything and can point to some correct items in his books when you ask him "Where's the dinosaur?" "Where's the cow?"
-loves to play in the bath, ride in his wagon with friends, swing,
-eats anything you put in front of him, except scrambled eggs or mandarin oranges- loves to feed himself (and is getting pretty good at using a spoon to do so!)
-regular crawls and army crawls, likes to touch everything with something else (like rubbing an easter egg all up and down the couch, or using a wooden spoon to tap all of the laundry)
-naps twice a day, goes to bed at 9:30pm and sleeps till 7am
-officially weaned at 1 year, 1 week old

Yup, that's my boy!
