FIRST BIRTHDAY!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO TRACE!!!!!!

i absolutely can not believe my sweet baby boy is one!!! where has time gone? trace had a wonderful birthday weekend! i was off work on friday and trace and i had lunch with nate then we went shopping! then saturday, on trace's birthday, we woke up to snow on the ground! we had to cancel our plans for the park and we went to burger king instead! trace loved playing in the playland there... daddy watched from the ground while trace and i braved our way to the top! we will go again soon b/c trace really had fun. he cried when we finally went down the slide... he wasn't ready to leave! we had his party sunday evening at the church. we had lots of family and close friends there to help us celebrate. as you can see in the pics, trace was so cute! he loved all his presents and especially the CAKE!!!!! monday he went to the dr for his 12 month visit. he weighs 20 pounds 4 oz and is 31 1/4 inches long, which puts him in the 90th % for his height!!! God has truly blessed us the past year with such a healthy baby. we are so proud of trace and the sweet boy he is growing up to be. despite the few temper tantrums, mostly he is still very laid back and easy-going! he has taken a few steps but for the most part he likes crawling best, it's faster!! we are working to get trace off the bottle to a sippy cup - but so far, he is stubborn as stubborn comes. he does not seem a bit interested in drinking from a cup. even though it's still the same ol formula in there, he acts like we are trying to make him drink poison. he wants NOTHING to do with the cup! oh well, for now, he's still a baby to me! we will continue working with him and see if we have any luck! ok. i'm rambling now... hope ya'll enjoy the pictures!!!!
