Memorial Day

So far we have had a fun and relaxing Memorial Day.  We started off the day by getting haircuts. The boys hair was so long and crazy.  Spencer absolutely hated getting his haircut.  He would cry every time the lady went to cut his hair he would squirm and cry.  She was so patient with him and his hair turned out really good.

Spencer looks so cute, and older, in his new haircut.

Before lunch we decided to take some flowers to our grandparent's graves.  It was extremely hard to get pictures with the boys.  Spencer hates grass and Preston was really distracted by everything on all of the other grave sites.

Spencer's 1st Birthday!

My baby turned 1 this past Friday and I can't believe how fast this past year has gone.  Today Spencer had his 1 year check up and he is growing quite well.  He weighs 21.8 lbs (35th percentile) and he is 32.5 inches long (98th percentile).  I can't believe how long he is. 

Other 12 month stats and fun facts:
- He can say mama, dada, and tries to say uh oh (he loves to throw his binkie and say it)
- He can get up to a standing position and walks along furniture
- He loves crawling up the stairs (he is still learning how to come back down)
- He still takes 2 naps - he sometimes fights his morning nap but he's not ready to drop it
- He does this excited dance while in his high chair when he sees food he really likes (like a grilled cheese sandwich).
- He still loves to cuddle.

For his first birthday we had an owl themed party

 

Owl birthday invitation - the wings opened and closed

 Birthday banner - I had a picture for each month of his life plus the day he was born

I also made a small banner for his high chair

He wasn't very impressed with his cake.  I think he would have rather had a cookie.
