Michael turns 1!!!

Michael turned 1 on Thursday the 27th! With that came his 12 month check up with Dr. Harrell. Mike and I took the little guy for his visit and everything checked out perfect! Well, minus the ear infection but he was already being treated for that. He just adores Dr. Harrell and has always done so well with her, even when its time for shots. He weighed in at 24 lbs and 13 oz (75%) and is 29.5 inches (50%) long!
After his doctor's appointment, we decided to take Michael out for a birthday dinner! We chose a restaurant nearby of which we had never tried... Cody's :) The food was excellent and what made the experience even better was the paper and crayons that were provided at the table, which totally kept the lil guy happy and occupied!
Here is a photo of our lovely artwork! Michael didn't even try to put the crayons in his mouth!
He got to enjoy tortilla chips and bread for his appetizer and salmon with mashed potatoes for his entree :) He wasn't too big into the desert as we only got him to taste one bite of vanilla ice cream.
Daddy loves this picture of Michael because of his great facial expression!
Yummy! Bread!

On Friday night once Michael was asleep, Mike and I cleaned the house and worked on putting up decorations. Who would have ever thought that our place would be adorned in safari decor!?!? This is Michael's birthday button! We even put streamers on his high chair!
Here is the table with its decorations... includes party bags and gifts for the kids as well as presents, which were on the other side of the table :) We have been getting super pumped and prepping for our lil man's big day for months and it is soooo hard to believe that this time has finally arrived! Stay tuned for the birthday post!
