Happy Birthday Timmy!

We celebrated Timmy's 1st birthday early. His good friend Zachary is exactly one month older than Timmy so Zachary's mother (Carina) and I decided to have a joint party. It was a jungle theme. Carina made the boys onesies. It had the number 1 on the front and B-Day Boy on the back.

I don't know if it was because he was tired or what, but Timmy did not want anything to do with his cake.

Yes, my boys have blue hair. It is a tradition of Carina's so I thought it would be fun. By the end of the night, the boys had gray hair.
While Timmy and Zachary had their individual cakes, here was the cake for everyone else.

We had banners made for the boys!

We had a great time and the boys had fun as well. Unfortunately, Timmy seems to be afraid of cakes in any form. We had cupcakes on his actual birthday. We sang to him, didn't light any candles and he still freaked out. I tried holding him, but that didn't work. He wouldn't let me eat my cupcake. Oh well, hopefully next year will be better.

Tiny Tim

Timmy had his 12 month checkup today. Other than a slight cold, he is doing fine. He weighs 19 lbs and is 28.5 inches long. He is at the bottom of the curve, but as long as he is in the curve, he is good. He is growing proportionately and that is what matters. He now has 4 teeth. The second front one broke through within the last few days. He had 4 shots. He came home and took a 3 hour nap. Poor little guy!

Snow!

We had some weird Winter weather lately. Yesterday we had snow showers. It would snow like crazy for about an hour and then the sun would shine and melt all the snow. The picture below shows the back end of one of the storms.

My poor flowers peeking out from the snow.

It ended up snowing about 3 inches. Enough for Benny to finally make his snowman.

Benny's snowman!

Family Tree

Benny brought home a family tree that he made at Sunday School a few weeks ago. I had to share how great his drawing has become. Grandpa should be proud that Benny now draws arms and legs. Not bad for a 3 1/2 year old!
