My little birthday cake

My Thomas the Tank Engine Cake

I turned 1 year old on Saturday. Mommy and Daddy threw me a Thomas the Tank Engine party. I had a lot of fun playing with the kids that came, and I like playing with the tissue/wrapping paper that my gifts were wrapped in. Here are some pictures that Auntie Elita took (Mom says thank you by the way) of the festivities.

So Big!

I went for my 12 month check-up today. Guess what! I am 30.5 inches long and I weigh 20.5 pounds. My sister, who is a year and a half older than me is 33 inches long and weighs 24 pounds. This means I am only 2.5 inches shorter and weigh 3.5 pounds less than Jazzie. Mommy says it won't be long before I catch up to and pass her. I am such a big boy!

Teeth

When Mommy came upstairs to get me after my nap this morning she saw what she thought was blood on my shirt (it was just the red dye from the shirt I had over it cuz I had been sucking on it) so she checked my mouth and guess what. I have 3 teeth that broke through overnight. Two on the top and one on the bottom. Crazy! Talk about a birthday present.

Haircuts and Crying

For those of you who saw the pictures in my last post, I look different now. Mommy decided that my hair was getting too long again and gave me a haircut all by herself. She was so proud of herself. The really cute part was that after she did it I rubbed my head and started whimpering as if I already missed my hair. It made Mommy laugh. But I've gotten used to it and don't mind it now. I've been busy driving her nuts. She thinks I'm still teething because I'm still drooling a lot, I have a runny nose, and I cry nonstop. Daddy went back to work on Tuesday, and I spent all day screaming when I realized he wasn't home. Once he got home I was fine. Since then I've just been downright cranky. Mommy can't wait until the teething phase is over. She says she's going crazy and that I'm driving her up a creek. But she still loves me.

Yesterday I went to my Gammy's house and we had a photo shoot. Above are some of the pics. She's really good at taking my picture, and I'm a little ham.
