Happy First Birthday Kole

I can't believe it but our little baby is one year old already (January 7). Such a big boy! We had his one year wellness visit on Friday, January 9th. He weighed in at 23 lbs. 2 oz, which is the 35%tile. He is 29 3/4 inches, which is the 50%tile. His head is 46.5 cm, which is the 50%tile. His height and weight have definitely slowed down since his nine month appt. which is pretty normal. We have still been having trouble getting him to sleep through the night so we excpected him to have an ear infection and we were ready to put tubes in his ears but the doctor gave him a clean bill of health. So unfortunatley we are letting him cry it out at night. He is getting better each night and it is getting easier for us each night as well.

Aunt Jenni bought him this cute shirt and I just had to pose him and get a shot for the blog.
The best thing about today is that we flipped his car seat around. If you are an avid reader of the blog you know how much Kole dislikes car rides. Now that he can see us it is so much better. Sitting this way just makes him look so much more grownup too.

The night of his birthday we went out to eat at Red Robin.

Red Robin did not have any cake, only ice cream sundaes. We thought what the heck and let him try it. He absolutely loved it. Like I have said before he sure does have his moms sweet tooth.


He especially enjoyed the whipped cream on top.


His whipped cream and ice cream mustache. So cute!


Here is a shot of Kole with grandma Chris. Thanks for treating us to dinner, it was so not necessary but so appreciated.


Here is a shot of everyone that helped us celebrate. Aunt Tiff, Grandma Chris, Mom, Kole, Grandpa Dan, Aunt Jourdan and Dad.


After dinner we went back to our house so Kole could show off his new walking skill. Grandma and Grandpa were so impressed.



The morning of his birthday I went to workout at the Y and the ladies at the drop-in daycare center made Kole a special birthday crown.


I am surprised I got a picture of it on his head as he was quick to take it off and tear it up. Look at that smirk on his face!


We bought Kole a wagon for his birthday. I think he just liked the size of the box it came in. He was banging the box and making circles around it.


Then we finally took it out of the box so he could see what it was. This will be so nice in the summer for taking walks around the neighborhood. Looks cozy too with that nice back rest. Plus it comes with a sun canopy to help shade him.


He doesn't stay sitting for long. Here he is trying to escape the wagon.

Happy First Birthday to our precious little boy. We love you so very much and are proud to be your parents!

He does look so big in his car seat! Wow, how time flies. By they way, I don't know if I told you at Kole's party but the scrapbooks you made are so awesome. I am so jealous! Want to do Grant's? :)
