Here is a quick video of Peter enjoying his chocolate cupcake at his birthday party and one of his climbing skills on the swingset. We had a great time with everyone and Peter got lots of neat stuff! Thanks to our families for coming and celebrating with us!






I took Peter for his one year well visit today. He got four shots and took them like a champ, so we will see how he is feeling tomorrow. I am going to guess sore at the least. Here is what he is doing at a year:

He weighs 21.5 lbs

He is 30.25 inches long

His head is 18 1/2 inches

Eating anything and everything - ex. Breakfast- half a bowl of regular oatmeal and a banana, today for lunch he ate a whole grilled cheese, whole thing of applesauce, almost whole carton of milk, dinner-broccoli, watermelon, black beans, corn, chicken)

No more "babas", just sippy cups or straws now.

Not walking yet- just cruising, crawling, and climbing mostly

Babbles constantly, says mama, dada, baba, bye bye, Lucy "oose", up, uh oh, ball "ba", dog "dah-y", and lots of others that I think are words but too early to tell...lol

Loves playing on his swingset

Loves music

Loves feeding the cows with Grandpa

Fascinated by anything mechanical - light switches, tools, buttons, wheels...

Average sleep time is from 8:30 pm to 7:30 am, with one or two naps during the day, depending on what we are doing.

Anyway he keeps me on my toes. I am looking for a daycare or in home daycare for a day or two a week because of work. If anyone knows of one in Pleasanton/Jourdanton that has an opening for a one year old let me know!! Other things this week...Pete and I are looking at a another house. It is exciting for me to think about but I will have to admit I get a little sad when I think about moving from here too. We have put so much into this house and really made it ours but I know if we do move once I started fixing up the other house and making memories there, I would feel the same. We will see what happens...

Birthday Boy!


Peter turned 1 on Monday! I can't believe how quickly a year passes by and everyone tells me that they seem to go faster as your children get older. I have also gotten this comment, "Now that he's one, don't you think it's time for more," more than once. Well to answer that, it depends on what day it is. Today my answer is...nope. lol...it was one of those days. We would love to have more kids. I have a been a bit nostalgic the last few days and can't help but post the newborn pics again. Here we are a year ago!



I was blessed with a natural and quick labor and delivery at 37 1/2 weeks. My water broke at 2:30 am and we skidded into the hospital in San Antonio just in time to have him at 4:09 am. No time for medicine or an IV or the doctor..lol..I had to "not push" until a lady dr. who was sleeping in the hospital ran down the hall. I think I should just have the next one in the bath tub...

This week has been crazy with work, planning for Peter's party this Saturday, and church stuff but in the midst of it all Pete has decided to celebrate Mother's day everyday this week. Monday: Georgeous flowers, Tuesday: A new pillow for me (I was excited...don't worry..i needed it) Wednesday: A one hour massage! Nice!On a side note..the swing set is done! I finished it up on Friday and Peter is enjoying it a lot. He can climb up the slide alone and then slide down on his belly.


Pete and the guys usually play basketball on Sunday evenings at our house so lately the wives and kiddos have been coming over to our house too. I love having everyone over. The kids are going to love these kind of pictures when they are older. That's all for now! I will post pictures of the birthday party after the weekend is up! -abby
