I have determined that as I get older the Earth has started rotating twice as fast, and the years are flying by as a result! Because there is no other explanation for the fact that our Ledger Summit is already a year old?! We JUST brought him home from the hospital! He's been such a happy, content and cuddly baby that I'm so reluctant to admit that he's not a baby anymore, he's a walking, babbling toddler.
Ledger loves to be outside and explore, but unfortunately he sticks everything in his mouth, seashells, sticks, seaweed, rocks...everything. He has no fear about what he touches or plays with outside. At this age, my other babies ran from neighborhood dogs, but this kid runs after them.
He's a big kid! Twenty-three pounds, solid, and pretty tall. He's already wearing out some of his 12 month clothes. He's been walking for about 2-3 months. After a couple of weeks back in our Scarborough house, he mastered how to go up and down the stairs. Now he loves to climb midway up and peer out the window at the swing set and ocean.
Ledgie loves the bathtub! He loves to swim around and splash and try to dunk his face. (much to my dismay). It makes him so happy to be in the bathtub!
His other favorite thing is eating. He's not picky at all, and he wants to eat all of the time. He loves bananas and blueberries, and avocado and crackers and anything else he can swipe off his sister's plate.
We had a simple celebration on his birthday. Riley invited a few classmates over for dinner and Vyla helped me make a cake.
He enjoyed a few special presents, a new booster seat and a few fun toys. The grandma's gave him much needed new clothes. Thank you, Nana and Grandma Lorie! Daddy brought home balloons, which are always the life of the party at our house.
The older kids were so excited about everything that it made the evening special.
Ledger did not love to be sang to. When it comes to being the center of attention, Ledger usually shys away. So when we all were staring at him, singing in unison, with a flaming candle in his face, he was a few seconds away from bursting into tears. But then the song ended, and he got his hands on the goods, and all was well.
Happy birthday, sweet boy! We love you to bits!

My (I mean, YOUR) baby is growing up way too fast! You're right, no longer a happy, tubby baby, he's full fledged a happy, tall boy! (The one of him on the stairs, sob). Love that sweet loveyboy!
