Silas's First Birthday

On May 22, 2008 we celebrated Silas' first birthday! I can't believe we have a one-year-old! I didn't realize that birthdays are sentimental for the parents. It was fun to reflect back over the past year and how much Silas has grown and kept us busy! He now weighs 19 1/2 pounds and is 28 inches long. Just a little guy, in the 5th percentile, but that doesn't stop him! He is walking everywhere and mimicking everything we do, as well as babbling all the time. He has become quite a Daddy's boy and is very sad whenever Daddy goes to work. He will sit at the door and pound on it waiting for Tyrel to come home. Or if he goes into another room and closes the door, Silas will peek through the crack under the door and stick his hands through to try and get him.

For his party we put up streamers and Tyrel graciously blew up the balloons. Everytime Silas would enter the room and see them he would say, "Dit dit dit", and point to the decorations. He got a 4-wheeler that moves when you push the red button. Right now he is a little timid about riding it and doesn't quite understand that pushing the button makes it go. So for now, he just stores all of his treasures inside of it! Thanks to everyone for all of the fun toys and clothes! It is nice to put away the old toys and get some new ones out, I think he and we were both sick of the old toys.
