Recap of Elliott's Frist Birthday Weekend!

So it is still hard for me to believe that my baby is a big 1 year old. We had a great weekend celebrating his birthday with a lot of friends and family. We kicked off his birthday with a Spaghetti dinner that he pretty much cried through. He does not like to pick up messy foods. We then preceded to eat way to much in a short amount of time and had our first cupcake and frosting. He loved it. He really just liked to play with it. We then preceded to finish our bottle for bed and then threw up all over daddy. What a way to remember his first birthday. that was all Thursday night his actual birthday. On Friday, we went to the doctor for our 12 month check up and we weighed in at 23 pounds 15 ounces and are about 31 inches long. We are a big boy. We realized that at a year they finally realize that this whole shot thing sucks and we do not like it one bit! We then took a good nap to get ready for our party on Friday night with our frolic family. We got fun presents that make nose, swim stuff and cars that we can not play with until we are older. We ate bacon, french toast and had a little more cake. We love fruit! No throwing up this night. We finally came Saturday, the day of our party. We had lots of friends and family come by to wish you a very happy first birthday and we again got a lot of really fun toys that make noise. Right now our favorite toy is the Zoo train that we got from our friends the Snyder's. Thanks guys! We ate a little cake but really played more with it and than we took a bath. All in all it was a great first birthday. We want to thank everyone for all of your love a support over this first year of Elliott's life. It is true what they say about it takes a village and we feel truly blessed by God that he put each and every one of you in our lives. We love you all so much and again thank you for helping up celebrate our little man! I will do a slide show of his birthday weekend for you to see.
