Tolan is ONE!!

His actual birthday isn't until tomorrow, the 12th, but its going to be a busy day, and I wanted to get a post in for his bday. We won't get do the whole deal tomorrow with the cake & presents & everything so I will post pictures when we do. But until then here's just a little bit about our little Tolly.

( Justin's parents wanted to do a litte early celebration for his bday when they were here last month, so that's what this picture is)

He weighed 7 lbs 13 oz when he was born. We don't go to the doctor until Wednesday but I'm guessing he's about 23 lbs. Look how much he has grown in one year!

(As proof of his growth, notice that he is now wearing the same clothes his big brother was wearing the day he was born)

A little bit about Tolan & his first year:

Some names he goes by around our house: Tolly, Tonan or Tony (these 2 are Logan's) and Dirty Sal

Favorite foods: bananas, goldfish, cheerios. (Pretty standard for a 1-yr-old, but unfortunately, this is about all I can get him to eat.)

Things he likes to do: climb up the stairs, "play ball," wrestle with Logan, push cars around, and lucky for me, sleep!

Little known fact: Tolan loves any kind of drink - milk, water, juice, etc. He will find any sippy cup he can, throw his head back, and just chug it

Favorite items: his blanky and his binky

Favorite noises to make: any spitty or gurgly sound he can managae to make with his tongue, and he also does an ear-piercing shriek

Words: mama-mama and sometimes dada

One of my favorites things about him: his laugh. he has a great belly laugh. I also love the face he makes when he is concentrating:

Happy Birthday Tolan!
