turned the big "1 year old" on August 22nd. We had family and few friends over for a small celebration. Lance really enjoyed all the party decorations but balloons were by far his favorite....the balloons were Mufasa's favorite too!
I guess it was the few other "first b-day parties" that Lance attended over past few months but he immediately dived into the cake. He enjoyed the cake....almost too much - ate about half the cake before giving up. I hope this video clip works so you can check out the big "first cake" experience.
Today Lance went to his "1 year old" visit with Dr Leonhardt. She told us Lance is doing great!!! Lance never enjoys all the poking or proding but it seemed like he understood her when she said he could have a bottle for couple more months. We will continue to try to ween off of his last two bottles. Lance has been growing fast....he is now 33 inches (> 97% ) and 24 lbs (75%). Dr. Leonhardt felt he is growing well and on target for his age. Four shots were no fun but Lance did great and I let him pick out new book at Target afterwards for being so brave.
Today was "cool front" here, so it was only ~ 90 this afternoon so all the neighborhood kids were outside and "Lizzy" an adorable beagle that lives across the street was visiting with everyone. Lance just loved Lizzy and just being outside with all the activity. The new nerf toy guns were the highlight - Heath woud like one "for Lance" (ha,ha).
Hope all is well with you!
