His birthday was March 5th, and this post is a little overdue, but we've been busy celebrating! Not to mention, life with a 1 year old is much more busy! So, Grayden asked his momma and dadda to throw him a big birthday bash with all the people he loves the most, so we looked at our calanders and had a party on Saturday, February 28th. He also requested to have his most favorite food, black beans. But because you can't invite over 20 people over and just have black beans, we created a menu that consisted of chicken tacos, black beans, rice, chips and salsa. I made Grayden's cake, because I decided early on that I wanted to bake and decorate every birthday cake for my children. This was my first attempt, so be kind in your comments! :) Hopefully by the time he turns 18, I'll have mastered the cake decorating!

Thanks again to all the family and friends who came to his party and celebrated with us! He's loving playing with all his presents! For those who couldn't come, we definetly missed you!!
Getting just a little sleepy!!
And Final Update:
Grayden went to the doctor a couple weeks ago, but hasn't been for his official 1 year check up and shots. But his last weight put him in the 15th percentile and his length was below the 3rd percentile. He's 21 # and 26" long... I'm hoping he has a growth spurt soon!!
Food update: his favorites are graham crackers and black beans. He's drinking milk and juice from a sippy, and has been weaned from the breast milk! Yay! He eats pretty much anything but he still won't eat bananas unless they are from a baby food jar. Weird, I know.
I'll try to post again soon... but don't hold your breath!!
