Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I look like I am doing some sort of Karate move in this shot

Since I am a little Irish man, I wanted to wish everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day today!

Cake!

Well, I finally got to eat my birthday cake on Saturday. It could have been that it was frozen for 2 weeks or that the cake was never that good to begin with, but I just did not love it. Huge shocker, considering the strong bloodline of sweet-eaters. I am more of a goldfish kinda guy.

Rainy Saturday

This is what happens when you combine a rainy Saturday and a bored mom. Patrick about killed me when he walked in to see Andy's hair in a gold banana clip playing with hair rollers and fingernail polish. The banana clip is for a redneck-themed party, I promise...

Group shot!

I was mainly interested in climbing their stairs

We both really wanted to push the same button (look at Ryder sitting up in the background!)

Corinne wants me to play with her, but I am much more interested in squeezing through this tiny gap in the toys to get to the stairs!

Welcome New Babies!

I want to welcome Katherine, Charlotte and James to the World. Can't wait to meet all of you. Congrats to all the families, and check out their blogs!

One Year Check-up

We went in yesterday for my one year check up. I have rocketed up to 31 1/4" (90th percentile), while I have kept my slim figure at 21 1/2 lbs. (20th percentile). My head continues to break records at 19 1/4."

Dr. Harris wants us to start cutting out the bottle, but given that it is my only security blanket (I have never used a paci, sucked my thumb or had a lovey), I am going to make this very hard on mom and dad. It's my ba ba for crying out loud (literally...)

I am now saying 3 words! Momma and Da Da have been on repeat for about a month now, but I have introduced baby recently. My favorite thing is to point at my reflection (well, just to point in general) in the mirror and say "baby." It really is too cute.

on a typical Wednesday afternoon...

You can find me at Gogo and Bo Daddy's playing with golf clubs or climbing their stairs (I am really fast!)

I'm One!

Balloons!

Today is my official 1st birthday, but I celebrated over the weekend with a family birthday party. Unfortunately, I had the stomach bug so I could not even try one bite of the choo-choo cake that mom made me. No worries though because we froze a car, and we promise to update with cake-eating photos as soon as my tummy gets better.

Pop, Mimi and Aunt Katherine all came down for the shindig, and brought lots of fun presents with them. All I had to give in return was my stomach bug, and I succeeded in giving it to mom, katherine, dad and pop. Not fun I tell you. Thanks to Gogo for making a wonderful brunch and bringing lots of fun presents too.

It is really so hard to believe that a whole year has gone by since having Andy. I can honestly say that the year has flown by (even though there were some very slow days in there). Patrick and I could not be more grateful for having a happy healthy one year old little boy.

Hooray for being one!!

Mall Racer

I went shopping today at Lenox with Mom and Gogo. Mom forgot her stroller, so we had to rent the "Mall Racer." I'm not one for shopping, but if you include fast cars, I guess that I am game?

Children's Museum

Mimi is teaching me how to rake

weeee---- the banana slide was fun

Grocery shopping... look out!

mmm... a loaf a bread and one asparagus

Filling up my cart

Pop is teaching me how to catch a big one!

I went up and over this "bridge" about 100 times!

I took my first trip to Imagine It! Atlanta's Children's museum on Friday. Mimi, Pop and Gogo joined in on the fun.
