Birthday Party

We had a wonderful birthday party full of friends and family. The only down side was that my parents were already back in Denmark for the party. The rain stayed away so we were able to go outside and play on the swing set and in the "train" wagon. Ethan had a great time with all of his friends. Thank you everyone who attended. It was a wonderful first birthday.

First Birthday!

Ethan had a wonderful first birthday. We started off the morning with pancakes and raspberries. It was a yummy breakfast. Then we went to the zoo with Grandma and Grandpa M. and Aunt Sarah. It was a perfect day. Overcast, but not cold. Ethan's favorite part was the slide in the children's zoo, and of course his wagon. That was the best part! He rode in the wagon so well, and now when he sees it in the garage, he thinks we are going for a walk. After the zoo, we went and ate Mexican food for lunch--the birthday boy's favorite.

That evening the entire family came over for dinner and cake. Ethan loved the cake. It was a huge hit. Ethan had icing all over his face. He got loads of presents.

Some highlights of the past month.
He has started hiding his toys. The other day Chris founds about 7 blocks behind the DVD player in our TV cabinet.
He LOVES the swing set that Santa brought him. He thinks every time we let Maggie out, he thinks he is going also.
Yes, he is walking--all over the place. :)
19 pounds 12 ounces 10th percentile

and his head in the 92nd percentile

When he walks is usually leads with his head. Yes, we have invested in ice packs.
