What a busy week we’ve had, and it’s sure been fun!

At Brit’s 1 year doctor’s appointment he was declared to be in fine health and just fine in his development.

Stats? Not too different from those I posted last week…I guess I’m getting good at judging. He does weigh a little more… 8 lbs 13 oz. He’s at or below the 10th% in height, weight and head circumference–which is like 3 or 4% but, he hasn’t deviated too far from his curve so the doc isn’t concerned. He may be in his rear-facing car seat till he’s 2, but fortunately he doesn’t mind it much…especially since he still loves his froggy musical toy that’s attached.

His Grandma Karen came to visit too and was so fun to play with. They had a great time reading his books, playing with his farm animals and spending time together. Mark and I even got to go hang out with friends without Brit for the first time. Brit was sleeping, Karen was falling asleep and Mark desperately needed a hair cut…can you say 2 1/2 months! so we ventured to our all-night hair salon aka Kristie and Jared’s. Whenever we’ve gone out without Brit before it’s been to an event or something…not like we’d get a babysitter to just go hang out. But, it was nice.

Then we got to go out again on Friday night…we went to dinner AND an actual movie in the movie theatre! That’s been a while. Thank you Karen!

Saturday we loaded all our goodies up and headed to the park for Brit’s Fishy Party!

Brit’s favorite thing about his party? The balloons!

The spread, consisting of all things fishy: Goldfish, Swedish Fish, Shrimp, Fishy shaped PB & J, Fishy shaped sugar cookies, and of course, his Fish cake!

About the extent of his interest in the cake…boring!

What’s a party without some swinging?

Grandma! Yay!

Fun Teo!

Thanks to our true and wonderful friends who came and shared the day with us. I appreciate you more than you know.

Sadly Grandma had to leave us the next day. Thanks for everything! It was great having you around.
