The Best Laid Plans

So much for updating regularly, huh? As I said, it's a new day and a new beginning! That's the spirit! :)

The boy's birthday was an exhausting event to be sure, but I've never been so happy being dead tired. It was great to see so many friends and family there to celebrate the little man being with us for a year. And no, I don't have pictures up yet but we'll get them up soon! As you'd expect, he also had his one year appointment with the pediatrician this week. He's nearly 30 inches tall and 22 pounds, making him eligible to have his car seat turned to face forward. The boy is growing up so fast!

Tomorrow we're having a play date with another couple and their daughter, which is very exciting. We're eager to see the boy with a baby near his own age since she's only a couple months older. He got some time with our friends kids last weekend, but one is almost two and the other is only a few months old. Right now the little man is only saying "dada" and miscellaneous gibberish, so I'll be interested to see how he communicates with someone at or just above his level. Still, he always finds a way to communicate with everyone and has two basic nicknames right now: Flirt and Smiley! I think he could do a lot worse than those, don't you think?

So, off to bed to prepare for tomorrow's play date. Do you think I'll be tired after that event too? ;)
