Boyd -12 months

A year ago, D and I got up super early to head to the hospital for my scheduled induction. I remember being nervous and a little scared of what was to come, but ever so excited to meet our newest family member. We had no idea what we were in for over the next 12 months! You can read about the birth experience here.

We held a small birthday party last weekend - some photos below. Boyd did really well - smiled like a champ for the camera, took a short nap halfway through the festivities and got up for more partying, and was pretty well behaved.

Updates:
  • Boyd has his 1-year appointment on Monday, February 25th. Can't wait to see his stats! He'll also have to get quite a few vaccinations - poor baby.
  • We saw him clapping his hands together for the first time this week.
  • He still smiles after sneezing- happy kid!
  • It's marginally better during diaper changing time, but he would still rather squirm around and be upright.
  • Mealtimes are hit or miss around here. Sometimes he'll eat the pureed foods, no problem - and other times they'll end up all over his bib and clothing after he has spit them out. I suspect he prefers finger foods now. Which is fine because we try to feed him whatever we're eating for most meals, minus anything really salty or sugary.
  • I shouldn't be surprised by the fact that his first molars are coming in already. He has been way ahead of the curve with all of his teeth, e.g. 8 teeth by 9 months.




Here are a few of my iPhone photos from his Saturday birthday party. Risha and Gabe have quite a few more on their fancy Canon, so I'll post those at a later date...

His shirt says "I am 1"
Yeah, CAKE! He didn't tear into it like I thought he would. Mostly it was dainty little bites and he just picked at the cake.
