Allisters Birthday.

I'm so behind on blogs right now, I have a ton to post. I am busy working out and trying to get healthy again and its taking more of my time! So here is Allister munching away on his birthday cake :)

Oooh look what I can do!

I can climb on this chair....

And look outside! Wow, doggies, ooof ooof ooof!

I wonder If I can get a better look?

This is getting better....

You caught me!

I was too scared to take the next photo, because he was standing tall on the arm rest of the chair, banging on the screen.

Boys.

Allister's one year well check.

Allister went for his one year well check at the Doctors today, we had to postpone it because I had a stomach virus when we were supposed to go.

Here are his stats...

Weight: 25lb 2oz 80%

Height: 31 1/2 inches 95%

Head: 48cm 98%

He is still my big boy :)

He is walking really well and chitter chats all day long! It is so so cute.

He got 4 shots, and is now a grumpy butt!

Shoes....

We recently got Allister his first new pair of shoes :)

He is a size 6 wide, he has very fat feet! Even though he only started walking a week or so before his birthday, he got the hang of it pretty quick and walks everywhere now!

After our fabulous fun trip to Cincinnati (more on that later I hope... ) we stopped at the park to stretch our legs as it was a wonderful warm spring day!

Here is Allister's first exploration of the outdoors in his new shoes :)

Such a boy with his sticks and leaves!

The other birthday boy :)

So Daddy Matt turned 30 last week! Yup, he finally joined the Dirty Thirties.

Unfortunately I got some kind of stomach bug early the morning of his birthday, and ended up throwing up all over his fun :(

He still ended up having a pretty good day, after taking Harrison to school he ran, then the two big boys went to watch the new Johnny Depp Movie- Rango. Harrison loves to go to the movies and is pretty good now! They shared (when Harrison would let him!) some popcorn, and then came home for naps and video games.

Matt ordered a Pizza for dinner while I concentrated on not smelling it.

Here he is opening some gifts!

Thankfully I was well enough for our Birthday Date on Saturday and we went to a fancy pants restaurant.

Happy birthday babe!

Love you x

Movie time :)

Happy First Birthday Allister!

Can you believe he is one already, that year seriously flew by. We had a first birthday party for our little guy on Saturday, here are the photos.

These are not from the party, but I thought he looked so cheeky here :)

We had a monkey theme, because, well He is our little monkey! And he sure does climb like one....

This Monkey picture is from his First Birthday shirt he wore all day, I took a photo of it and photo shopped it for all our decorations!

The invitation.

Goodie bags.

Cake table.

Our awesome cake. The cake place did such a good job of matching the design! I was so happy :)

Allister's smash cake.

Is THAT all for ME!?

Hmmm lets give that a try....

Mmmm I think I like it!

But I need to give it another try.

Yup! I like it :)

Seriously smashed.

They all love balloons.

Hey, where did it go!

See how much he is walking now, he figured it out and just took off!

Playing with his friends, this is Max.

And Connor too.

Fun with Music!

this ramp has been a big hit, Harrison has decided its his.

Daddy Matt got to open some gifts too, Grammy painted him a great painting of Allister.

Me and my boys.

So what is Allister ups to now he is one?

He is now walking, pretty much all the time.

His words so far are...

More- Sounds more like Naaa- He signs this all the time too.

Dada

Mama

Woof Woof for Doggie

Oooh Ooh Oooh for Monkey

Mooooo for Cow.

He high fives and claps.

He sleeps good now! A good 11 or 12 hours a night.

He has 2 naps a day still.

He has 7 teeth, and is cutting 3.

He loves to play with Buzz Light-year, because Harrison does!

He is the cutest happiest baby, still. He is always giggling, or screeching, I forgot he like to do that too :) Its the only way to get any attention round here! His eyes change colour daily, right now they are a greenish brownish blue, so I guess Hazel is the right word!

We have his one year well check on Friday, I will let you know how it goes!

Happy Birthday Allister, we love you!
