Party Time!

Thanks to everyone who came and celebrated Blythe's Birthday.

It appears that Ian has caught someone red handed

Not everyone is as fortunate as Blythe to have Grandparent's and Great Grandparent's attend their 1st birthday!
Since Blythe loves balls and her first word was ball we decided to make her a ball cake! Blythe also enjoys playing with Dina the Dino:



Although Blythe is only 1 she is already great at sharing (food that is)
She is enjoying all the new toys!

12 Month Check-Up

Blythe weighed in at 19lbs 9oz and 29 1/4 inches long. According to Dr. Meyers she is "just perfect" but we already knew that!

She wasn't too thrilled with her 4 shots (chicken pox, yellow fever (for Ecuador), Hep A, and MMR), but as soon as I picked her up and showed her the baby in the mirror it was all forgotten.

The BIG Day

Oh me, oh my, I don't even know what to say. To think that we have already had a full year together!

A year ago today Jason and I worked together for 15 hours to bring Blythe into this world. At 8:03pm the most beautiful baby girl was born to us, and the joy began.

Today we are reminded of ALL the accomplishments Blythe has made this year, there are too many to list, but here are a few big ones!

It just dawned on me that this time last year I found out that the Gruningers had their baby girl a few weeks early. That instantly sent me in a panic as Jason and I would be bringing up the rear for the Bradley class. I jokingly said I was going to go home and mow the lawn, which I did, as an attempt to have baby W. Little did I know that it would be just a little over 24 hours from that lawn mowing that we would be blessed with Blythe!

Going Private

In light of this we have decided to make our blog private.

Date Night

Jason and I went on our first date night last night since my mom was in town. Jason knew I wanted to see My Sisters Keeper so he suggested for us to go see it. As it turns out that movie has already come and gone so we settled on Public Enemies. About half way through the movie it started making an annoying ticking sound. Jason went to the front to let them know and about 10 minutes later they came in and said they were fixing it and it would be about 5-10 minutes. Well 2o minutes later the movie still wasn't going and neither Jason and I thought the movie was that great so we opted to leave and get our money back. We didn't want to be there till midnight (assuming the eventually got it working), especially since I had just committed to running with the neighbor each morning at 6:30!

So the date night was a bit of a bust, but at least we attempted to go out.

It felt really good to get in a good morning job before starting my day!
