On December 14th I turned 1 year old! Can you believe I'm one already?! Mommy says she can't and it makes her a little sad that I'm so big already. I have to admit the time has flown by! One day I'm in some dark warm place, the next I'm being told no, no all the time (what ever that means.)

On my real birthday we just stayed home and had cake after dinner. Grandma & Papa Burlingame drove up from AZ to be here for it and Christmas. I did a really good job of getting cake everywhere. I got good practice on opening presents too.

Then on the weekend we had my birthday party with all my friends. Even my cousins Jimmy & Joseph were there from Naselle, WA. I got lots of really cool presents AND more cake!!! This time actually got a whole cake to myself! Again, I did a great job of really enjoying it and getting it everywhere. I had a great time.

A few days later I decided that I'm a big boy now, so I refuse to eat baby food or drink from sippy cups. I will however drink out of a straw though. I also will only take a bottle at night and I drink whole milk now instead of formula. Daddy is happy about that because it's a lot cheaper than formula. :o)

The last thing is that I had my 12 month check up. I weigh 21.11lbs(30%), 30in long(50%) and my head is still above the 97%. I'm sure it's because it's so full of brains! I had to get 3 shots too and they made me sick. I had to get the measles, chickenpox, and the flu shot. I got symptoms from all of them and I had a slight ear infection. Now I'm getting a bunch of teeth, so I'm still pretty grumpy. I have 7 so far with at least one on the way.
