taking instruction

It's been a long time since I've bothered to blog anything. I've felt like I have so much to catch up on so I've done nothing. But Davie's first birthday deserves a somewhat timely post and Cam has gotten on my case, so I'm following his directions and putting Davie's first birthday on the record.

First, I can't believe my little guy is a year old. And he is a little guy. At one year he weights a whopping 17 lbs and is 26 inches tall, prompting his pediatrician to bring up the possibility of growth hormones down the road. We'll deal with it when we get there. He also seems to have inherited my poor vision so a visit to a pediatric ophthalmologist is on our to-do list. Cam and I managed to pass on some winning genes. But despite it all Davie is darling and loving. He goes out of his way to make eye contact with people and flashes his awesome little grin. People can't help but smile back and everywhere we go people comment on how charming he is. I agree. I'm totally in love with the kid.

Here are some pictures of our one-year-old bug.


He enjoyed three birthday cupcakes. The kid weighs 17 lbs. so I figured he was free to indulge.





And here are the brothers. Ben is at the stage where if you suggest that he smile for the camera he pulls some unbecoming face. But trust me, he's a cute kid.
