Keaton Turns 1!!

Keaton celebrated his 1st Birthday on October 16th! I can't believe he is 1 already! He has grown into such a handsome little boy who is oh so close to his very first haircut! I may be biased, but this is one awesome little boy! He started crawling around 8 months and walking at 11 1/2. There's no stopping this guy...he's like a bulldozer who just goes where he wants to.....pushing his weight around with his belly. His belly is HUGE! Despite his 12 month stats of only being in the 10th percentile (20lbs), this is one fat little boy.

We think he may be a lefty! He eats with the left, grabs for toys with the left and waves with the left. I think this is pretty cool.....Daddy does not. Apparently, left handed quarterbacks are not highly recruited. :( Anyways, so far he says, Mama, Dad, Duck and Bye. He eats most everything except pasta and rice. I guess it's a texture thing. He has 10 teeth that I know of! I'm not keeping track anymore.....that's too dangerous!

I was fortunate to nurse him for about 11 1/2 months and in that time I could count the number of times he had a bottle probably on one hand. But since then, he is IN LOVE with his bottle of milk. I know I should probably start offering the sippy cup more, but he is too darn cute walking around, holding his bottle and "turning it up."

On his actual birthday, we just celebrated among the four of us. I made his favorite meal of roast with potatos, carrots, broccoli and rolls. (Actually, this is what big sister Sydney eats the best ;) We enjoyed Garner's Chocolate Cake for dessert and he gave the birthday cake gig a good run.

We had a big birthday celebration on November 6 with friends and family to help celebrate Keaton's AND Sydney's birthdays. I will post that later.
