1 year

Well, the year has come and gone, and much faster than I had anticipated. It saddens me to think how fast they grow up. Next week my oldest will be 7 and it seems like just yesterday he was born. It is somewhat funny (yet sad) to me that Ryker is just now getting is top teeth and wouldn't you know it Gage's first top tooth fell out yesterday. Time really needs to slow down. A year ago today Ryker was born at 7 lbs. adn 3 oz, the biggest of all 3 of my kiddos. Today he weighs a whopping 23 pounds. All three of them were born semi small and then got huge around a year old. Plump ol' babies. But something weird happens when they get around 3, they get all skinny and make me start worrying. Kieran hasn't gained a pound in a year and is only 9 pounds bigger than Ryker. Gage is 3 years older than her and only 10 pounds more than she is. I will let you do the Math.

Anyways, Ryker's birthday was nice. Although his and Gage's big party is on Saturday we went ahead and had a cake and gave him one of his presents. His new Diego car thing. I think Gage and Kieran wanted it more than he did, although he seemed to get a kick out of it. Pictures of his big day are below, including his official 1 year pics that I took myself vs. going to professionals. So much cheaper.

Enjoy!

Asleep, before waking up for his big day...
