William Turns 1!!!

We celebrated William's 1st birthday with friends and family on February 25, 2017.  We had close to 60 people attend!  The newly renovated Greenwood Community Center is awesome.  The kids had a blast playing there.  William was overwhelmed by the number of people so he cried quite often.  :o)  He opened his gifts at home and enjoyed playing with the paper and bags the most --- typical of most babies.  Dalonte did an awesome job of capturing the party.  I'm glad I had him do that because I didn't take very many pictures and those who know me know that is not common!!




 




Group Photo!

All his goodies!!

This is one of my favorite gifts William received.  See the meme below for the reason why!

Yes, I created a meme from my son's photo!  I mean...I couldn't resist!

Since William is a Leap Day baby, we celebrated his birthday on March 1st this year.  We all had work and school/daycare, but we still had a good time celebrating our 1 year old!!

Gifts from mommy, daddy, and sissy.


William brought in donut holes for his friends.  He was a little too excited for them!

These next few photos show my last monthly picture of William.  He is always on the move and always has something in his mouth!





Some "then and now" pictures.

Our first picture as a family of 4 and the 4 of us on William's birthday.

Hard to imagine this little guy was in the special care nursery pretty much his first 48 hours of life and now look at him!

Dear William,

We cannot believe you are already 1.  This past year has flown by.  The first few weeks were rough adjusting to life with 2 kids, but you helped make that transition an easy one.  You've been sleeping through the night since 8 weeks.  You are a happy kid (unless you're teething).  You transitioned from bottle/formula to milk/sippy cup like a champ.  You eat like a teenager.  You babble a lot.  You drool a lot.  You say "dada," "mama," "all done."  You have 4 teeth (top and bottom front).  You have at least 2 others about to break through on the bottom.  You think your sister is silly.  She makes you laugh.  You love to get into EVERYTHING.....even the cat food.

We have your 1 year check up on March 15th so we'll get your "official" stats then, but I'd guess you to be 30 pounds and 35 inches or so.

We all love you more than you'll ever know.

Love,
Mommy, Daddy, & Sissy
