Swine Flu Birthday


BJ is officially one!! Crazy to think how time has flown! We spent Wed. night playing with his blocks- a new toy from Mommy and Daddy and had a family birthday party with both sets of grandparents on Saturday. But we did have an uninvited guest- BJ got H1N1 from daycare. We're pretty sure he's gotten every childhood illness possible these days from daycare! Poor guy. So the party was limited to adults- no cousins coming over to infect after he spiked a fever. What a memory for all of us. Luckily with a bit of Motrin he was fairly social!

BJ at one year
Nicknames: Beej, little man, stinker, lovebug, bug, Captain poopypants, bud, Stink, Little stink, baby boy (I'll have to stop that one), Mister, Babycakes
Weight & Height: 21.5 lbs (according to our scale) He had dropped about 2 lbs with his recent rotavirus and according to our doctor will probably stay in the 50% now for a while. I think height wise he was 29" last doc appt.
Hair: Blonde
Favorite foods: cheerios, any kind of meat, applesauce, eating fruit whole
Favorite toys: blocks, kitchen utensils, books, Diego car (he pushes it around and rides it), remotes, cups, and balls (any ball)
Favorite stuffed animal: doesn't really have one
Bedtime: 7 p.m.
Wake-up time: 6 a.m.
Naps:. down to one nap at 11:45 a.m.- at home around 2 hours, at daycare, it varies
Favorite person: definitely Mommy
Latest Accomplishment: walking, having milk in a sippy cup, moving to Toddler 1 room (from Infant 2) next week
Likes: playing with Mommy and Daddy, "reading", going for walks, "cooking", hiding balls, nursing, knocking over towers, "driving" the car (with Daddy into the garage)
Dislikes: his inhalers, having to go to bed, getting dropped off at daycare, doors/drawers that won't open, having daycare workers cheer him on walking
What gets said about BJ most often: how cute he is
Best known for:
Fears: suffocating with his inhaler?
Health: this year has been a rough one for BJ's health- with RSV, rotavirus, H1N1, ear infections, asthma, eczema, and allergies- we're hoping his immune system will be amazing when he gets to kindergarden
How he's like Daddy: he likes Mommy, has a mischevious grin at times, loves to "drive the car", mostly laid back personality (although that is changing)
How he's like Mommy: his coloring, his hugs

Playing blocks with Daddy
Finally- sugar!! Loved the frosting, spit out the cake
Opening presents with daddy
"I want you Mommy!"
