Today we celebrate a very special milestone! Our little man is one! As I awoke to Ryan fussing in his crib at 6:30am this morning, I laid there remembering what I was doing exactly one year ago. . . . showering and putting on make-up nervously getting ready to head to the hospital for our induction! Paul and I were both pretty anxious and a little nervous, but I remember neither of us said anything. We just drove wide-eyed to the hospital really "prepared" for an event we'd never ever be prepared for! We had just no idea what to expect! After a pretty uneventful labor (as labors go, that is), out "popped" our very little special delivery! 6 pounds of joy, Ryan Andrew Blake. I'd never seen a baby so little.From the beginning, our little man was calm, low key, and pretty happy. Now, just one year later, while "little" would definitely NOT be what I'd use to describe him ("porker" would be more appropriate), our little man is still the most calm, low key, and happy guy.
We have a great day planned to celebrate this special milestone! Here it is:
I woke-up at my normal time of 7am. I got to come into bed with mommy and daddy to have my milk! My last bottle of formula.
Doesn't everyone text message these days? Ryan LOVES my phone.
My new favorite activity: playing in the pillows!
Mommy and Daddy worked while I played with Ana. At 3pm, we headed to Pretend City in Irvine. First, I went fishing!
I rode in a fire truck complete with a hat!
I share my dad's love for cars. Look at my face!
After Pretend City, we headed home where we had a birthday dinner with my Grandparents! I got to "water ski" with my G-pa!
Time for cake! My Granny made me my very own chocolate cake!
I'd say I liked it!
So did Maggie (she had to be pulled away so as not to get sick)!
Time for gifts! I have no idea how lucky I am!
I love my new chair! But most of all, I love spending my birthday with the people I love! I'm one lucky little man!
