Lewis is one year old and I can't believe it! He's been a happy, healthy boy 99% of the time so we couldn't have asked for a better first year. At his one year check up he weighed 24 lbs 8 oz and is 31 inches tall. His weight gain is slowing down, he's not eating as much solid food as he did baby food (don't worry, his head size is still in the 90th percentile, which means, of course, he's a baby genius). He's still as mobile as ever and never stops unless we make him take a nap. He's down to about one nap a day and we pray it's a good one because if it's not he get super cranky in the evening. He still only has six teeth but he's able to eat whatever we give him. He loves milk and the transition to it couldn't have been easier.
Lewis had a birthday party and family from all over came to celebrate! He got lots of presents and ate a little bit of cake. I made funfetti cupcakes and he wasn't quite sure about them. He had already eaten dinner and he normally doesn't eat after dinner so he played with it more than ate it. You can see in the first picture he's pointing at me. He's a big pointer right now. He'd rather point than talk.
Here's he's had a little taste of the icing but isn't interested in eating the cake.
The only reason the cupcake is dismembered is because I did it trying to get him to eat it. He'd rather have a drink.

Lewis taking his birthday bath. I tried to get a picture of him doing his grunt thing. This was the best I was able to get.
Below are just random, non-birthday pictures. Bad hair day is first.
Followed by perched. Dan and I were watching TV and looked over and Lewis was sitting on the ottoman. We weren't quite sure how he got there so we took him off and he proceeded to climb right back up. He was very proud of his accomplishment.
