Christian's First Birthday!!!! 2/22/06

Well, it is hard to beleive it has been a year already. Christian has grown so much since then! From 3lbs 6oz to 17lbs 5oz at his 12 mth check-up.

On his actual birthday, we went w/the families to Fort Wilderness' Crockett's Tavern, where Christian had his first taste of sugar. Needless to say, he loved it.

Christian had a total of 3 parties, one on his birthday, one at Mommy & Me and one big party on the 25th. He enjoyed the cakes immensely. He also made out very well on the present department. I think we need to rent a storage space.

The doctor said he was a perfect, healthy little guy at his check-up. Thanks to everyone for all of your love and support through the trying times, but most of all for all of your prayers. God has truly blessed us with a wonderful little boy. We thank God for bringing us this far healthy, happy, and safe. 

The first bite of sugar, EVER!! 

Do I really have to share this?
