Quick, before I get Sidetrack'd

Last week my baby turned one. We spent quite a bit of time last week and over the weekend celebrating his first year of life, and now it’s time to blog about Boo.

Last weekend I promised Little that we could go to Chick-Fil-A on Wednesday after BSF as part of our Boo’s birthday week celebrations. (Boo doesn’t really care where we eat as long as there is food, so this year I got away with letting Little pick the venue.) My friend S and her two sweet girls came along and we had a nice lunch. After we ate I let the kids play on the playland for a few minutes which they both really enjoyed.

On Thursday we went for Boo’s one year well-baby checkup. The doc said he is doing great and gave him an A+. He weighs 21 pounds 12 ounces and is 29 inches tall. His weight puts him between 25th and 50th percentile, and his height is up from 10th percentile to the 25th percentile which made the doctor happy. He is meeting all of his milestones nicely.

This weekend we had some friends over for a birthday celebration (more on this later in the week). Boo had fun eating his cake (boy did he like that part!) and opening his presents. The most exciting part for me, though, was when he decided to take about 7 or 8 steps – by far the most consecutive steps to date. He just picked up the toy he was playing with and took off. It won’t be long until he’s left crawling behind which is both happy and sad for the Momma.

Anyway, that’s a bit about our birthday boy’s week. More to come in the following days.
