Yesterday was Chris's First Birthday! I can't believe it! I don't know where the last year has gone! It makes me kinda sad that my baby boy is growing up so fast! We had a family birthday BBQ at the house to celebrate. My dad's (aka Papa) birthday was yesterday as well! When they gave me a choice of dates to induce Chris last year, I immediately chose the 7th because I knew there would be no greater honor to my dad than to share his birthday with his grandson! We had chips, potato salad, olive dip (a family favorite) and Dana cooked hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill. We had my mom, dad, Dana's mom and dad, Dana's brother and his 3 kids, and a good friend of Dana's named Sean and his wife Jody over to help us celebrate. Chris got lots of cool toys and some new clothes and shoes. Of course we had birthday cake and ice cream. Chris had a white "poke-a-dot" birthday cake with sprinkles and my dad had a chocolate cake with white icing and M&M's on top. I made Chris a chocolate cupcake so that he had his very own cake to dig into! He ate about 3/4 of it before he decided he was done. He wasn't sure about the icing. He made a funny face but ate it anyway! haha
Chris now has 10 teeth. He just cut his 2 top molars. He is pulling up and furniture walking and can walk with a walking toy but he can't stand up or walk yet without assistance. However, I know this milestone is just around the corner for us! Batten down the hatches!!! Chris really hasn't said his first official word yet. He can make the sound of a few words. Every now and then he will wave and say "I-I" for Bye Bye and 'O-O" for Oh Oh. He still says MAMAMAMA and DADADADA but no official Mama or Dada yet! My mom swears she has heard him say hello and his teacher at school swears she heard him say "cracker" but so far I haven't heard them yet. I know that pretty soon he will be a chatter box and we will wonder if he has a mute button! haha LOL
