My BFF, Shelly and her hubby and kiddo came to town, as well as my family from Ada and Edmond. I was overjoyed with the turnout at Cs party. It is truly a blessing to have people who love you and your child enough to make a 3 hour drive to come celebrate a very special day in a little one's life. C may not remember it, but I will for sure tell him how loved he was on this day. Feeling loved is something we all enjoy, and I thoroughly felt love this weekend. Couldn't have asked for more.
C's party was at Nanny and Pops' house with an Elmo theme and turned out super cute. Everyone wore Elmo-face shirts or cookie monster faced shirts, which made for some adorable pictures. (of which I will have to borrow from someone since this busy party planning mommy didn't have her camera nor the extra hands and arms to snap). Thankfully, my entire family owns the Canon Rebel camera so there are some pretty fun pics to share soon. Shel-bel helped me get everything together in time for the party to start and I couldn't have done it witout her! And thank you mom and dad for letting your house be party central!!!
Friday was C one year well baby appointment where he weighed 21lbs, 12 oz. Was 30 in long and his head was well, in the 70th % is all I remember. Doctor calls him perfect which makes mommy and daddy proud and grin big. We even shared the video of him eating his cookie monster cupcake, and she laughed and grinned as if she were family. Love our pediatrician! Unfortunately, C had to get FOUR shots at this appointment so needless to say he was a pretty upset lil guy. Understanding the doctor office and equating it with pain is not fun for a one year old, and C gets it. Luckily, this happy boy recovers quickly and was back to his care-free self pretty soon after. For his party day, though, we had bit of a struggle. C was not feeling well from his shots still, and naps were not happening so he was EXHAUSTED for his party. Funny, because aren't most one year olds cranky at their party?
As I look back over the weekend, i am just purely happy. It was just an all around great time.
I am looking forward to another amazing year with our angel and seeing his personality bloom, and maybe even hear a few real words. He's got DADA down pretty good, and I am starting to hear Ma once in a while when he is hurt of course. (hehe, but I will take it no matter what).
Thank you dear family for coming to celebrate this weekend. Each one of you made Connor's birthday a very memorable loving day, and I am so thankful. Having a family like ours can be crazy, wild, hilarious, loud, fun, and it takes a family just like mine to make the best memories you could ever make! (and when I say family, that of course includes my BFF and her fam too!!!)
