Happy Birthday Baby Boy!

My sweet baby turned one today....where has the last year gone? It has literally flown!

At one you:

have the best pouty face in the world!

have taken two steps, but prefer to crawl

LOVE Julian, the cats, baths, swimming, Goodnight Moon, outside, basketball and food (come on he is MY son)

shoot baskets on the little goal (and actually make most of them)

love to hold crayons or markers and try to write with them

have crazy spiky cute hair

say:

"KKKKiii Cat" for kitty cat

"bra" for brother
"Joo" for Julian

"ba-baaa" for basketball

"baaa" for ball

"drr" for drink

Birthday Party:

We had Carson's party last Sunday, we had family in town from Dallas, and all (well most) of Carson's favorite people were there to celebrate with him. He was on antibiotics for an ear infection and developed a virus on Monday, so I don't think he was feeling 100% (hence sleeping the majority of the party in Joanna's arms...see below) In fact, he has been to the doctor THREE times in the past week...last Friday for the ear infection, Tuesday for the virus (fevers of 104.6!!!) and today (the dr and two of the nurses sang Happy Birthday to him) for a viral rash and thrush. Needless to say, the Pediatrician's office has us on speed dial! Okay, I digress, the party was a lot of fun, the bigger kids had a blast on the playground and it was great to see people we haven't seen in a long time. I always feel like I don't spend enough time with everyone though.

Birthday:

Today, Aunt Jill joined us for the doctor's visit, On the Border for lunch (the doc said he wasn't contagious any more), Target for his meds, the park for some swinging and sliding, home for a nap and then a walk around the neighborhood in the wagon.


When Daddy got home, Carson (OK Julian) opened presents, we ate pizza (Carson's favorite) and birthday cake. After a bath to remove icing and pizza sauce from strange crevices, he played a little basketball and was off to bed.

I LOVE YOU SWEET BABY!!!!
