1 Year!

Dear Lane,

Happy birthday! You had a big month that included your first trip on an airplane/your first trip out of Texas and three birthday parties (if you count the one at daycare). This month you became much better at walkng. You don't crawl at all anymore. You still have 8 teeth, but you are drooling a lot, so another one may be on the way soon. You still love mac 'n' cheese, banana cookies, Greek yogurt and ravioli. We are working on getting you to eat more fruit and veg. You love going on evening walks with Mommy and your favorite toys are blocks, empty water bottles, empty two-liter bottles, and your green froggy bouncy ball. At daycare they through a pizza and fruit cup birthday party for you. We had a family birthday party for you in California while we where there for Chris and Emily's wedding. You had a beautiful strawberry cream cake. You were pretty polite while eating it. You really didn't dive in like I thought you would. Aunt Bette (BeBe), Uncle Paul (PauPau), Mimi, Dado, Uncle Harvey, Aunt Anne, Uncle Allan, Aunt Kathleen, Uncle Pieter, cousin Petra, cousin Lauren and her husband Chris were there. It was a great time. Today we held your family party in San Angelo. Nana, Pop, Uncle Lance, Aunt Judy, cousin Tyler, Uncle Bob, Corie, cousin Kristie, and cousins Lacy, Jon, Davis, Truett, and Brogan were there. Nancy made you a cute turtle cake. The theme was blue and green turtles. You got a little more into the cake-eating today! We love you, sweet boy. Happy birthday to my sweet angel.

Lots of love,
Mommy
