1 YEAR OLD!!!!!!

The day before my birthday didn't go so well. I've been stuffy, so my lip was getting sore, then I had my one year checkup and they gave me two shots that really hurt. However, the doctor did tell us that I'm growing and developing very well. She enjoyed seeing me running around the exam room. The nurse told Mom and Dad that I weigh 20 pounds 14 ounces (25th percentile), I'm 29 1/2 inches tall (40th percentile), and my big head comes in at 19 inches (80th percentile)! That afternoon I was playing with Katie when I fell and hit the wicker basket in the dining room. This is what it looked like right after.

And this is what it looks like today!! You can't really tell in this picture, but it's swollen too.

My birthday was much better though. I hung out with Mom and Dad all day, then I got to open my present from them after supper! It took me a little bit to catch on to what Dad was showing me, but then I had fun tearing away at the paper!!

Here is a video of me opening my gift. Katie wanted to help.

I got a Leap Frog Learn & Groove Music Table. I really enjoy all the buttons, slides and levers there are to push and pull. It's makes lots of noise and drives Dad nuts!!!!!

These are some pictures from my one year birthday photo session. Once they let me off the chair, I didn't want to sit still. The poor lady had to take the pictures really fast and Mom had to move me back into place a lot.

I liked this football, I kept trying to eat it.
