That is right, I am officially 1 and loving every minute of it. I am a walking and climbing machine. I can now climb on the couch and into the bathtub by myself. Luckily Mom and Dad have taught me how to get down from the couch correctly so I don't face dive onto the floor. I learned last week how to stand up without any assistance also. My new big thing to also add is I have learned some sign language. I can say all done, please, and thank you. I am also very good at folding my hands to say my prayers. I love to tell Mom and Dad all done when they are changing my diaper, however, they do not stop that one. A kids gotta try right?
For my birthday, I had a party in Minnesota with the Ward and Fossen families. It was so much fun to see everyone. I love my new toys! Mom made me a puppy cake also! It looked really cool, but I have decided I am not yet a fan of cake. Then, I went to the farm to celebrate with Grandpa Fred. His birthday is the day before mine! We got an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. Now that was delicious! My cousins Peter and Henry came to play and got to see lots of baby animals! Very exciting for a little guy!
Mom took me to my appointment and I officially weigh 26 lbs 1 ounce and am 30 1/2 inches long. Yes, a big boy I know, I get told that all the time.
Here are a few pictures from my Birthday week!

My cousin Henry was great at assisting me with my cup. Man I love service!!!

"Well, okay I guess I will try it" I took the frosting after this shot:)

"Grandpa, I don't know about another Big Cake"

So much fun, I fell asleep outside with Dad and Grandpa! Don't worry, I was right back at it when I woke up. Even big boys need a power nap!!

The calf was a little too big for me...

The lamb was much nicer to me. Oh how I loved this little guy!!!

On the farm, I liked the pig until I grabbed its ear and it squealed at me...Lesson learned, just touch animals nicely!!!

This is all the farther I got with my cake. I didn't even have to have a bath right away!!! Which meant, more time to play for me:)

Playing with my new toys...boy is this fun!!! I love to stack and unstack these cups!!!
