Wow, one whole year gone just like that. Our beautiful baby boy is one today, 20.4lbs, and 30inches long (he had his one year well baby check up this morning so we know for sure, lol). He doesn't weigh much (he's only in the 20%), but he's VERY active and he's in the 75% margin in height. He's amazing! He's so happy and sweet and he's completely loveable and irrisistable! He isn't completely walking yet, but when he does, he is so proud of himself that he claps and giggles and it just melts your heart. To celebrate his first year, we went to the zoo today with Grandma Citton and had a fun filled, spoiled kind of day. He was so excited about the animals. His favorites were the Meerkats, where they were all lounging and playing and one was interacting with Michael right up by the glass. He also got SUPER excited about the serval who was pacing back and forth right up at the front of his exhibit, so excited that he was trying to pull himself out of the stroller. He got to get up close to the lions who were lounging in the shade right by the glass, and he was spoiled by Grandma in the gift shop. He had a very busy day today, but a lot of fun. It's so hard to believe that one year has come and gone so quickly. It's almost scary how fast it has gone and I feel like I haven't had enough time to enjoy each moment, but I am also loving the moment we are in and excited for all that is to come. He was also spoiled by Uncle Daniel, Aunt Heather, and cousin Karmen yesterday. Daniel can't be at his party on Saturday so they gave Michael his gifts yesterday and he was given a neat numbers book, an adorable crab swim robe and swim trunks, some sweet baseball shoes and adidas socks, his first baseball bat, a couple of adorable shirts, and an amazing castle jumper that inflates and creates a safe and soft play area and jumper. He hasn't even had his party and he's already being spoiled. :) What a lucky little man he is. We are sad to see one year gone, but we look forward to each moment we will get to experience with Michael in each year to come and we know that life is precious and to enjoy each day as it comes and not take anything for granted.
