Happy 1st Birthday!

I haven't had one extra minute to spare lately, the kids have been sick the past two weeks, starting and ending with colds with the stomach flu in between but last Thursday, October 25 our little pumpkin, Doc, turned one year old!  We celebrated yesterday with a small party, just family.

Here is Doc a few weeks ago, happy boy helping me fold the diapers.

Here he is at his party, he was beyond ready for a nap at this point but stopped crying when we started singing "Happy Birthday" to him, then he went  down for a nap and slept through the rest of his party. 

At one year old he is still riding and being carried around in his infant carseat, he's been in 6-9 month clothes for about a month now, he can't sit up without support yet or get up on hands and knees in 4-point position.  He will turn pages of large board books, roll to get where he wants to be or explore, prefers his Mommy, brings us lots of joy, and is an incredible blessing.

Happy Birthday Doc!

Update: Took Doc to the doctor's today because he's had his cold for so long, and although this isn't his official well-child visit he measured in at 16lb 12.6 oz and 26 inches long.  Such a little peanut!  He has bronchial-pneumonia and is on antibiotic now.  His official well-child visit is in about another month (if I remember correctly), since he has to have a pre-op appointment a month before his eye surgery they're just going to combine the two.
