One Year Pictures

Hobbs had his pictures taken for his first birthday (and we had some family ones taken too). They are available for viewing online. Just copy & paste the following link into the address bar. Hope you like them as much as we do! :)

Bink Buddies

Since McKenna has become a big sister, she has become quite the "mother hen". She is absolutely adorable and is always wanting to help. When Hobbs got upset about something and started crying, McKenna went and found his "bink" and was dead-set on putting it in his mouth. She is very persistent! The whole thing was really cute and extremely funny to watch! She followed him around the table for several minutes trying to put the bink in and then taking it out which made both of them laugh. Silly babies! :)

Doing the Dishes

Hobbs loves to help unload the dishwasher. The other night, he took it one step further than usual! We were just happy that the door didn't bust off! :)

Party Time!

Wow! What a weekend! We had Hobbs's first birthday party and boy, was it fun! It was great to see everybody and we all had fun. Hobbs was so thankful for having everyone come that did. We aren't posting every guest's picture, but we are posting the kids. They all helped Hobbs test out his new presents and all the toys got their seals of approval. Hobbs loved his presents as well as his cake. In addition to enjoying the taste of it, he also had fun grabbing, squishing, and throwing it. We had a lot of clean-up to do afterwards, but it was worth it. We hope you enjoy the slideshows below! :)

Hobbs's One Year Montage

Be sure to turn up your volume! For those of you who knew me before kids, you know I wasn't really a cryer. Well, this makes me a little teary, so just a forewarning...you might want a Kleenex. :) Just click on his picture below.


Hobbs's First Year

One Year Old!!!!

I'm HOW old today??!!!!!

Mmmm, this is good stuff!!

Yummy sugar cookies! Where have you been all my life?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOBBS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hobbs went to visit Mommy's class today and took treats to daycare. Mommy's class was more than excited to have him in the class this afternoon! We didn't post any pics though (don't really think it would be right to put other people's kids on the Internet...) Here are some other pics of him though. :)

One Year Stats

Our little Pumpkin Head

While it's SO CRAZY to believe, Hobbs will be 1 year old in just 2 days! So, of course, check back on Thursday. There will be plenty to post! Hobbs will be taking treats to daycare and then bringing treats to Mommy's class (the kids have been wanting him to come in for 9 weeks now!). Then, he will be taking treats to Daddy's class on Friday (they too have been wanting to meet Hobbs). His big party is on Saturday, so his first birthday seems to be turning into a 3-day event!

He went to the doctor yesterday and here are his latest "stats". :)

Weight: 25lbs., 8oz. (90th percentile)

Height: 30in. (60th percentile)

Head: 52cm (off the charts)

So, as you can see, he's a big boy that continues to grow so quickly. It cracks us up that his head is so big since Mommy has always gotten grief about her big head. It just means there is a lot more brain there. :) He is able to eat real food now (he has been for the past several months). The only thing he hasn't liked is barbeque chicken. He can now move to whole milk too, which hopefully will be an easy transition (and a little bit of a money saver since we won't be needing formula!).

Mmmmm, Pizza!
