ONE YEAR OLD

Our little boy is one year old!! We just can't believe it. Is this how it's going to be forever - the year just flew by and we can't imagine what it was like when he was the little floppy infant that we had so recently.

Silas just had his 12-month checkup and is doing great. He is 24lb 1oz and 30 1/2 inches. A very healthy and super happy baby. Jason and I are so excited, too, because night sleeping is finally going wonderfully so we've regained a bit of our sanity. Silas is not walking yet, but has discovered the fun of climbing. Up the stairs, into the dryer, out of the tub, onto the couch. He tries to go everywhere!

On Saturday July 15th we had his FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY and lots of family came over to our house to celebrate! For the first time in a long time, Silas didn't nap in the morning and so he was exhausted by lunch time. So, picture perfectly, he actually fell asleep WHILE eating lunch. Too funny! Of course we got some pictures so as soon as someone sends one to me (hint hint) then I'll post it on here. It was really fun to see both sides of our family at the same time, which doesn't happen very often.

We can't even imagine what things will be like next year at this time with a TWO YEAR OLD! Scott and Tracey are getting married on June 30th of '07, so we'll see how Silas looks in a little tux! HAHA.

Here are some pictures of our little bear with (on) some of his bday gifts. (My mom made the little adirondak chair that he's sitting in! She's amazing.)
