On July 26, Michael turned one! It is really hard to believe that our little guy has reached his first birthday. To celebrate we had a big birthday bash with our friends and family. It was so much fun. We rented a pirate moon bounce and had a baby pool and slip-n-slide. The moon bounce was a real hit. Michael is so fearless. He loved going down the slide on his own and would try to climb back up to go again. Even when he would tumble down he would laugh and smile!!
Mom made Michael's truck cake and Aunt Aimee made his individual heart cake. He really enjoyed the cake. He got his hands right into it and was covered very quickly with the blue icing. I don't think he ate too much..he just like playing with it!! We were so thrilled that we were able to share this day with so many people we love. Michael is such a blessing in our lives and we love him so much!!! This has been the best year of my life!!
At Michael's one year appointment, he was 31 inches and weighed 24 pounds, 2 ounces.
He had taken 5 steps before his birthday...we were so exicted and can't wait for him to walk. He plays a little game on the stairs in the family room. He gets up and takes some steps to us and when he falls he crawls over real quick to either hug me, Mike, or Clover..then he hurries back to do it again. Of course, we are clapping and cheering the entire time. He is enjoying gymnastics at the YMCA and loves to swing at the park. He is starting to become a little climber. He climbed into his Jeep walker all by himself a few days before his birthday!! I was shocked. He has become more and more vocal. He says MaMa and DaDa and can point to Clover and the fans in the house. He loves taking things in and out of buckets and sticking the balls into his dinosaur toy. It is really amazing how quickly he learns.
