Tyson's First Birthday Party - Mod Monkey

I'm really late on this, but here are all of the pics from Tyson's birthday party. Thanks to everyone who celebrated with us!

Happy First Birthday Tyson!

Our sweet boy is officially ONE!

It's such a bittersweet occasion for us, but we can now say we made it through the first year. It was an adjustment, a renegotiation of relationships and duties, but most of all, it was amazing. Watching Tyson grow over the past year has been something we'll never forget. Oh, and while he's had a fussy week, he was an absolute delight both on his actual birthday and his party day.

Bad mama scheduled his 1 year appointment on his birthday. He had to get some shots, but he did great with them. One year stats:

21 lbs, 13 oz (35th%); 29.5 inches (50th%); I never remember his head circumference, but it's in the 45th%

He's wearing a size 3 diaper (size 4 overnight)

He's wearing his 9 month and 6-12 month clothes with room to spare. I've been buying summer stuff in 12-18 months, but it's all huge on him. Hopefully he'll grow into them sometime soon.

11 Months Old, a bit late!

Tyson's Baptism

Tyson was baptized on Sunday. We had a lovely day and he was such a trooper through both the ceremony as well as our after party. Thank you to all of our friends and family that attended and helped make Tyson's day so special. We love you all!

Thanks for celebrating with me. See you again soon!

afternoon at the park

We visited Lion's Park in Zionsville on Sunday afternoon. Tyson took his second try at the swings and he really liked it this time.
