25 lbs, haha!

I took Owen in for his 12 month check up today. It seems that every one who picks up Owen has to say, "Man he is heavy. What is he like 30 pounds?" I guessed that he was around 25 but boy were we all wrong. He weighed in at 22 pounds 7 ounces and is 29 1/2 inches tall. He was given a clean bill of health except for his ezcema and a bit of a low iron count. He got 3 shots and a finger prick to check lead and iron levels. He did really well considering the circumstances.

Anyway, I'm looking foward to things slowing down now that April is over. I was looking over my April archive of blog entries and I can't believe all that's happened.

Owen's 1st Birthday

All the anticipation and planning was well worth it. Owen's 1st birthday party was a hit. The theme for his party was Baby Einstein. Owen loves Baby Einstein videos. The moment that caterpillar crosses the screen, Owen's face just lights up and he smiles from ear to ear. The best part of Owen's party was the cake. It was my idea to make the Baby Einstein caterpillar for Owen's cake. I baked the cake and Barry frosted it. I had a lot of fun decorating the house as well.

Owen got clothes, mini dinosaurs, a hammering toy, cars, a puzzle, stacking cups, and a lot more. He definately got spoiled by everyone. Thanks to those who came and made Owen's day so special. We missed those who couldn't make it but hope these pictures make up for it.
