Lil' Slugger's 1st Birthday Party

Graham loves to play ball so that was my inspiration to have a baseball themed party for his 1st birthday. I found Lil' Slugger plates online and I was able to find a lot of good "baseball party' ideas from different websites. Bit by bit over the last week I put together different decorations and I was very pleased with how everything turned out and I believe the birthday boy was as well!

Happy Boy

Is that for me?

Not too sure about this green icing or this hat?!

Big sis loved the icing...

We love you, Graham! And cheers to many more cupcakes and happy years to come!

Happy 1st Birthday, Graham!

Graham turns 1 tomorrow. My how time flies when your having fun! He has been such a blessing in our lives and he brings so much joy and happiness to us everyday. We can't imagine life without him.

He has grown into such a sweet little boy.

Happy Birthday Handsome!!

Here is what he is doing at 1 year.

Has 8 teeth!

Goes to bed around 8ish and wakes up around 8.

Still takes a little cat nap in the morning around 10:30 and takes a two hour nap in the afternoon (1-3). It is perfect because that is that same time Morgan naps so Mommy gets a little break. :)

He prefers table food now and hasn't really turned down anything. He loves dessert. He gets so excited to see cookies, cake or ice cream. He takes after his mommy!

He loves his dog blankie.

He loves to play with Morgan and he is starting to wrestle with her. She loves it that he is really starting to interact with her.

He says Mama, Dada and babbles other things that we can't really understand.

He is not walking yet but getting very close. He stands up on his own without holding on to anything and has taken a couple steps but he prefers to crawl because he can get places fast that way.

He is wearing 12-18 month clothes, size 4 diapers, size 4-5 shoes.

He can clap his hands and wave bye-bye and tries to blow kisses at times.

We are going to meet with an ENT tomorrow for a consultation about getting tubes in his ears.

He has moved into his big boy carseat.

We are having his 1st birthday on Saturday, January 8th. We are having family over for a baseball themed party. Pictures of his party to come!

Christmas 2010

What a great month this has been for our family. It has been so fun to watch the excitement in Morgan's eyes with all that we have done this Christmas season. We had fun attending Christmas parades, visiting Santa, and we enjoyed our many nights of riding around looking at all of the beautiful Christmas lights. She has loved it all and so have we!

This year Santa visited our house on the 23rd because we were leaving for Nonny's on the 24th. I didn't think we were going to get Morgan to go to sleep because she was scared of thought that Santa was going to come in and leave presents while we were sleeping. Daddy assured her that Santa would leave presents by the front door and not come into the house and she was fine with that. On Christmas Eve morning we found everyone piles of presents in the living room with there stocking. Morgan was super excited when she woke up, she ran to wake Graham up right away. So cute but Graham seemed to be more interested in snoozing that morning. Morgan plowed through all of her presents and then she helped everyone else open theirs. Morgan got everything she asked for this year and more...a princess tent, drum set, backpack, barbies, barbie convertible, Dora microphone, new DVDs, new baby doll, Candy Land, princess CD player, a see saw, an ice cream truck, clothes and more. Graham got a lot of fun toys too...a wagon, new workbench, Thomas the Train track and trains, elmo, a mouse pillow pet, toy trucks, football, new DVDs, a John Deer nap mat, a boat for the bathtub, clothes and more. Santa brought mommy a Babolat tennis racket and brought daddy new headphones and a golf lesson because he knows that mommy and daddy like to live an active lifestyle and what better way then having new equipment. :) I was busy getting our Christmas at home on the video recorder so I didn't get many pictures.

After presents and playing for awhile we packed and heading to El Campo for Christmas. We haven't been in EC for Christmas the last 3 years so it was nice to be there this year with the whole family.

They make the 5 hour drive easy for us...
