 Towards the end of the celebration, still going strong!  (Not just Rhett, us too!)  We had a great day yesterday with a serious amount of birthday fun. Had a gathering of family and a few close friends with their little ones for an afternoon play time bonanza! It was back yard fun, so glad that the weather here in February is still mid-70's!  I'll whine in July, but this was truly PERFECT!! Rhett had so much fun just running around with all of the kids and tearing apart toys, riding in the wagon, climbing and sliding on his new slide (thank you Auntie Nana & Stull Grandparents!).    A great friend of mommy's made some fantastic birthday cake, and a special cake just for Rhett with one of his favorites - MONKEY's!  At first, with everyone gathered around Rhett he was a bit hesitant, with everyone staring at him! Plus, he was in the back yard, in his high chair and had to be thinking "what in the world am I doing out here??".  It took him ...

Rhett simply must know there is a party today...look at how excited he is! - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

We had a somewhat traumatic visit to the pediatrician today, so I'm posting some pictures from Rhett's birthday 'day' yesterday to remind me he's a happy boy, and not traumatized for life due to the three shots he received today.  Boy - shots were easy when he was an infant.  Now, it was as if someone was branding the poor little kid..and I had to hold him down!  Lots of crying, screaming and hyperventilating.  Thankfully he is snoozing soundly as I type this. One Year Stats: Weight:  22lbs, 10oz - which is a long way from the 8lbs 8oz when he was born just a year ago! Still holding steady at the 50th percentile - Mr. Average. Height:  31.25" - he started at 20.5in, so he has grown 10.75" in one full year!  Also holding at the 90th percentile - Tall Boy! Rhett had a great birthday.  He spent it with his Mom & Papa, and his Aunt Shelly came to see him too!  We went out to an early dinner (more for Mom & Dad, we...

 February 8, 2011 Happy 1st Birthday Rhett!  Dear Rhett, It’s the eve of your first birthday, and I’m sitting in amazement. Astonished that this last year has flown by so fast. One year ago, I would have never imagined my life would change in so many wonderful ways. I knew things would be different, I knew being a Mom was hard work….but I never imagined how so much hard work, tired days and nights, worry, stress, exhilaration, pride, unknowing, and everyday life could add up to something so wonderful and so worth it. It’s a life time of love, and I get to feel that little slice of heaven every single day. My life is better, because of you. My life is meaningful, because of you. I am a better person, woman, wife and now a mother, because of you. I am unbelievably grateful for my own mother and family, because of you. You are absolutely, undoubtedly the best thing to ever happen to us! ...... A few one year milestones to think about….. You laugh and giggle, and your...

This weekend cousin Maddie and Grandma Brown came to visit Rhett early for his birthday.  He has spent a wonderful day playing his heart out with everyone.  Dani came over to visit, it was great fun.  Maddie brought Rhett a pair of his own Van tennies, and he has been clomping around in them all day long.  They are super cute!  Rhett & Madison with his new shoes! Playing with a balloon, and seeing my reflection! We also took smash cake pictures while everyone was here to visit early...this is a small 'preview' of the official pics...the aftermath.  Rhett had great fun.  Plenty more to come, but you'll have to wait until his birthday to see the rest of them....only a couple more days and my little boy will officially be a whole YEAR old!  Where, oh where, did my baby boy go??  Aftermath.  Stay Tuned.
