Ode to Big Boy

I cannot believe that my baby boy turned "1" on March 9! The time really does fly and you really do have to savor every small moment. Someone told me recently, while describing parenthood, that the days go slow but the years go fast. Very true, especially in the life of a stay-at-home-mom!

Sam was able to celebrate his big birthday with almost every family member and even some of our good friends. He is a lucky kid and very much loved. I am so happy to report that he is feeling SO MUCH better after having his ear tube surgery at the end of February. Let's hope that the worst is behind us and he'll be a healthier and happier kid going forward.

We had his 12-month check-up earlier this week and he is doing awesome. He was 22.7 lbs (45%), 30-1/4 in tall (70%), with a 70% noggin! Developmentally, he is meeting/exceeding all of the milestones. Dr. was happy to hear that he was already off the bottle/formula and onto whole milk in a sippy cup. Seems more like a toddler already :)

Sam is a wild-man...he is everywhere and into everything. Exploring, banging, throwing, chewing, running, dancing, eating, clapping, and babbling his way through life. Gotta love it.
