leo's partay...s








This lucky boy had two birthday celebrations! One on his actual birthday and the second on the Saturday following his birthday.

On his actual birthday we went to lunch at Red Robin with Papa Sendzik, Mommy, Daddy, and Jannica (she is practically an aunt to this kid). He loved Red Robin because there is so much going on and loud music. He tries to meet the noise level by talking really loud and screaming. I think it's hilarious, the people around us might not say the same. The servers brought him a balloon and sang to him. We thought he might get scared, but not at all. He loved the attention. Leo stared at them with his mouth wide open the whole time.

That night I made a little cake for him to dive into. He was apprehensive at first but then got the hang of it. See the play by play above. Once it was time to clean up, he realized how messy he was and did not like that. I wouldn't either. haha.

For the big birthday bash, we headed to Riverfront Park in Cashmere. We had pizza, cupcakes, cookies, balloons, bubbles, presents, and a little bit of rain. It cleared up after the party got started and it turned out to be nice weather. Leo had a great time playing with all of our friends and family that came. He received so many fun gifts! Thanks to all who came! You guys made it fun and unforgettable!

I have a one year old?


My mind cannot comprehend that it has been one year since this amazing event changed our lives forever.

He is changing everyday. Loves to talk now. Even attempting to say some words: flower, more, all done, light, papa, mama, dada, pst. Okay the last one isn't really a word but it's so cute when he says it.

He isn't walking yet but he has taken a couple steps a time or two. When he's ready he will do it.

Sleeps like a champ. Eats like a champ. At his year weigh-in he was at 22 lbs and 29 inches long. Once again, 50th percentile across the board.

We have seen a few tantrums so far. They have thrown us for a loop but we are figuring it out as we go. Oh toddlerhood... deep breaths.

Most of the time he is an easy-going and happy boy. Let's hope it stays that way.

I could go on and on and on about how much love and light this little angel boy has brought into our lives.

Leo, I can't believe you have been with us for one year! Sometimes it feels so short but I feel like I have known you my whole life. We love you forever!
