Holy Cow Gabe is one!!!!

On February 5th "this man" turned 1!!! The past year seems almost like a blur now. I am sure it is lack of sleep and chasing after the other 3, but wow we made it!!! We had his birthday party here at the house. It was a small party with mostly family and a few close friends.

Those were his delish cupcakes!!! We love our cake lady. They were super yummy!!

Gabe didn't know what to think with everyone singing him happy birthday!! He just kept looking at the flame...



He really didn't know what to do with the cupcake. Since he doesn't eat much food I think it really confused him.



Look at that face!!!!




All of the brothers together to celebrate Gabe's 1st birthday!!! So cute!





Cousin DJ even came by....






The one picture of Matthew and myself from the whole night!! I always forget to get in the pictures!



Jt making Gabe crack up. He adores his brothers and is always looking at them for laughs!



Our good friend Abby came to play. I was trying to get a picture of both of them smiling, but no luck. This was towards the end and they had enough of the fun!



His cousin Jack was there to play!!! Jack loved all of Gabe's new toys. His other cousin Dylan helped open them all.




One of Gabe's new toys here. He likes anything that will help him walk or that he can ride around the tile floor.




Gabe's new tool bench. He LOVES this toy. Grandpa and Grandma got him one since they have one at their house that he played with at Christmas time. He loved it then and loves it even more now.
We took him for his one year check up and his recent stats were:
weight: 22 lbs 1 oz which is the 35%
height: 31" which is the 84%
head: 45cm which is the 14%.
He has a tiny head. :)
We started him on whole milk but alternate with formula since he doesn't eat or drink much of anything else. He still has NO teeth. Doctor says he has seen this quite a bit. I think he is lying because I have never meant anyone who didn't have at least one tooth by their first birthday!! :) I think he was trying to make me feel better!! I check everyday and nothing. Not even a white gum...
Looking forward to this next year together. Walking, teeth, eating more, park time, and all of the other fun things you can do with a toddler!!! Happy 1st birthday GABERS!!! We love you!!!
