William Blair turns ONE!!!

He is 22% in height and 23% in weight and 38% in head circumference.  He did well as his check up and got 4 shots in his legs.  Since he was a premie, these percentages aren't so bad.  We will now feed him on demand and have already started whole milk (which he thankfully loves).
We did a family dinner for his first birthday and he loved the cake that Nana made for him.
He's now walking, crawling slowly, clapping finally, eating everything.  He likes walking, playing with Lydia, people watching, any type of carb (bread mostly), feeding Harley from the table, wearing hats, being outside, shaking rattles, music or anyone singing to him, watching Harley out the window, etc.  He doesn't like not being able to walk, eczema, teeth coming in, ear infections, someone taking a toy he is currently playing with, Lydia's loud screams in his face, falling down or falling on his face, etc.  I don't like any of those things either though.

Not sure how it turned into a princess dress up party...but leave it to Lydia...ha!

Notice my face while the big kids blow out his candle...ha!  My gut reaction.

Night Out for Us

Blair and I got to attend The Children's Fund Gala.  It was so much fun with a silent and live auction and even a puppy!  The dinner was fantastic and there was dancing too.  Kacey, Brent, Mary and Brendan were there as well.  I haven't been to a gala before and haven't had to wear a formal dress since college (besides weddings).  It was a lot of fun!

Easter!!

So William got to have two Easter celebrations before he turned 1 because of how Easter fell this year.  Ha!  They both had so much fun at all the Easter Egg hunts we participated in.

We have been hosting the Olympia Drive hunt since we moved in!

Then Lydia and I got to go to HRC's party and hunt.

She's yelling at me to hurry and get on the train because it's going to leave me...I made it though.

Pictures!

I took these and edited them all by myself!  I was very proud of them...

More March Events

Lydia's first time to feed William his bottle and she did an excellent job!

Over Spring Break, we went to Ashleigh and Everleigh's house to swim for the first time this year.  The Monteleone girls (Jules and Lexi) also came and we had a great lunch and pool time with everyone.  The girls loved swimming!

Lydia has been reading to William (well just going through books and guessing what the story is by the pictures).  He absolutely loves it.  This time she put on his Vanderbilt hat backwards because she says that's the way it fits him.

The last weekend of Spring Break we went to Galveston.  William and I loved swinging in the hammocks while Daddy and Lydia took a long walk on the beach with Harley.  The rain didn't stop us from having fun there.  Lydia actually fell asleep on the way home which she hasn't done in a very long time.

Just cruising the streets

Blair's cousins came in from Illinois at the end of March and Lydia has so much fun with all the cousins.  We went to the Aquarium and she even got to feed the stingrays.  She still talks about Langston and Leona.

Rodeo Time in Texas

For my birthday Blair got us Miranda Lambert tickets for the rodeo.  I got to wear my official rodeo jacket and it was so much fun!

Then the next Friday afternoon Blair got off work early and we went to the rodeo with the kids.  We visited Sudi's (Bailey's booth) and got some yummy hushpuppies, fried fish and shrimp.  William LOVED the hushpuppies and as soon as I got up to take the picture, he scooted his little bottom over to the pile of hushpuppies.

Lydia loved the ice cream and Blair loved the funnel cake!  Typical rodeo food...I of course got deep fried Oreos.
