Finally, Spring has Sprung!

Finally, we have some warmer weather. We've been waiting all winter for this. Too much winter for me. Lets just hope it stays as warm as its been. The snow is almost gone.

Now that the snow is gone, we can go outside more and play with the kids. Brenden loves the outdoors. He would play out there all day if it weren't for lunch and dinner to break that up.

Cole is on a 4-5 hour sleeping shift now. It's starting to get a little longer. He's drinking more now and he now weighs a whopping 10lbs. He'll catch up to Brenden in no time. Brenden weighs in at 28lbs and has been the same for the past 3-4 weeks.

Brenden enjoys his own room and own bed. Sometimes he likes to sneak out of bed and start playing, but that's usually short lived once we hear him. Usually by the 2nd time, he'll give up and go to sleep. It can be a struggle at times.

Brenden has now advanced to Level 3 in swimming lessons. The first two levels were a breeze for him. He's a water baby. He could spend the whole day in the water as well. I think he'll love camping this year more than ever.

As you can see above, we bought a double stroller. Now we can take both kids for a walk very easily. Cole usually sleeps during the walks and Brenden stares at everything and chats about them.

Anyway, off to bed for me. Gotta go to work in the morning. Have a good one.

Just pure laziness?

So what?! You think I have time to post messages every day? No. How about weekly? No. Monthly? Hardly.

I'm not sure if it's just pure laziness, or the fact that I spend all my time on a computer at work? Some part of it is laziness, and the most part is the time I spend on these things (computers) on a daily basis.

I will write and post some new pictures soon, I promise. Of course I did promise to write on here more often and that didn't happen. Oh well, just keep visiting this page at your leisure and maybe, just maybe, they're will be a new post with pictures available. This time however, I have no recent pictures to provide you with on the latest developments of Brenden or Cole. I'll keep it as simple as this, this time, and next I'll provide pictures and a brief overview.

What I can tell you though is that we are all doing fine. The only problems in our household for the most part is lack of sleep, or quite possibly the fact the Brendens' favorite word is now officially, "NO".

BLOG with you soon! Keep visiting.

The family, 3 weeks later

How's it going out there? Haven't seen to many comments, so I figured you're just as lazy as I am when writing. Haha.

Well, we're still here, sleepy eyed and all. Actually, it hasn't been to bad. Cole only seems to cry when he's hungry. He doesn't cry about anything else, which is the total opposite of Brenden. Don't know if this is the case known as, good kid-bad kid (or was that good cop-bad cop), who knows. I guess we'll really see in due time.

Cole is progressing very well. He actually gave the Dr. a shock this past week when he had his weekly checkup. The Dr. told us that Cole will gain approx. half a pound a week. Last week to this one he gained 1 full pound. What a little porker. At this rate, he'll catch right up to Brenden in no time. So Cole is now listed at about 7 pounds, up from 5lbs 4oz when he left the hospital. He has just surpassed Brenden's birth weight of 6lbs 13oz.
Other than that there's not much to say about Cole. Eat, sleep and poop is pretty much his standard routine.

Brenden is handling Cole really well. Actually he doesn't really pay much attention to Cole. He's more about his books, toys and Dora & Diego than his baby brother Cole. Next week is Brendens' last week in daycare, so he'll have to get used to him being around all the time. Right now, Brenden really only sees him at night time and on the weekends. Soon it will be 24/7. Michelle will really have her hands full then, since I'll be at work 5 days a week.

As far as Brenden, that kid is everywhere. Climbs on the couch, up and down stairs, chases the cats around, etc. Unfortunately for us, Brenden has hit the 'terrible twos' early. He thinks by saying "no" that he can get what he wants, all the time. Not the case. I'm not going to let him bully me around. Haha.

I'll make sure I put up a post the first week after Brenden is out of daycare to let you know how it went. Michelle may need to write that post up since I'll be at work and will miss it.

Anyway, have to go get Brenden ready for his swimming lessons soon. He is almost finished level 2. He loves swimming on Saturdays. Have a good one. Over and out.

At Home - 3 days later

Well, Cole arrived home on Tuesday afternoon and got to see his new digs. Brenden was still at Daycare and had no idea what was in store for him at home. I left work early to pick him up and off we went. I tried to comfort him (or warn him) that we are going home to see 'baby Cole'. He repeated the name Cole many times, almost as if he knew what he was saying. I still though to myself, "This will be interesting". We got home and Cole was sleeping (surprise). Brenden proceeded to take his coat and boots off and ran over to see mommy. At that point Cole made a little noise and curiousity struck Brenden. "Oh", he said, as if to say, "what the heck is that doing here". He walked slowly over to the carrier where Cole was sleeping and pointed at him. "Baby", he said. He stared at Cole for at least 30 secs. I think Brenden thought it may be just a toy laying there, until Cole moved his hand and Brenden looked at me as if to say, "It moved, did you see that"? I continued to express, that this was his new baby brother, "Cole". He seemed to accept the fact that it was, but more or less left it at that and wanted to play.

Brenden has been very good around Cole. He doesn't even want to touch Cole. It's funny. "No" is always Brendens' answer. That's his answer to all the world's problems too. "No". Much easier to say than, "Yes". Today Brenden actually gave Cole a kiss. I was going to attempt having Brenden hug him, but fear swept through my brain thinking Brenden may smother his new brother. At this point, it may be the case.

Cole went to see the pediatrician today for a weigh in, just to make sure Cole is gaining weight. This was nerver wracking for us, since we knew that if he wasn't, they would want to admit him back to the hospital for care and supervision. When Cole left the hospital he was 5lbs 4oz on Tuesday. Today, Thursday, he was 5lbs 8oz. Gained about 4 oz in 2 days. That was great news! And best of all we got to bring him back home. Tomorrow we are taking Cole for a checkup and an introduction with my family Dr. This is the 3rd generation with the same Dr. now. Seeing the Dr is in his 60's, I don't believe he'll have a chance to practise on a 4th generation. At least I hope not, for our sake.

Anyway, that's it from the Schaefer household for now. I'll be sure to update once I receive some more information to post. For now, make sure you go to http://www.davidschaefer.ca/ and check out all the latest photos there.

Good night.....for most of you........catch some extra zzzzzz's for us.

David, Michelle, Brenden and Cole

2nd time holding Cole

Today was really my 2nd time holding Cole, but first time talking pictures while we're holding Cole. Michelle remains is hospital until at least Monday, recovering from, what the doctors say, is the "Ecoli Virus". We have no idea where it came from, but apparently pregrant mothers are more susceptible to it than others. We were also told that this was why Cole decided it was time to get out of his warm and cozy place. Since he was breach, Michelle had a C-Section this time, hence the longer time being spent in the hospital. We're very excited to get Cole home, but considering his condition, right now, he's in the best place until he's good and ready to make the trek to his new home.

Brenden has met Cole once, but I don't believe he understands that this it the baby that will be living under the same roof as him. It'll be interesting to see how he takes to the new addition in the family. Brended is no longer the baby. He's the big brother now.

I'll keep you all up to date on any new events forthcoming. In the meantime for this week, I've decided to go back to work for this week and take the following week off, when Cole arrives home.

Thanks and talk to you all soon!

DS, MS, BS, and CS.

Welcome to the world, Cole Schaefer

Above: Baby Cole at the hospital and Brenden after meeting his baby brother

Here's the short and long of it. My wife had been sick since Monday and early Wednesday morning decided I had better bring her to the hospital because she thought she was in Labor. Dr examined her and told her is was false labor, but she had some sort of infection which was the reason she had been feeling sick the past few days. The Dr. decided to keep her overnight for observation and to provide her with some much needed fluids. I came home with Brenden (our 22 month old) around 10pm. I got a phone call at 12:15 this morning from my wife telling me that we were having the baby today. Talk about a wake-up call, literally speaking, since I had fallen asleep on the couch and was barely awake when I answered the phone. I packed up what I needed, and shipped my son off to my Aunt's (who lives on the way to the hospital) and promptly arrived at the hospital where they had all my hospital attire waiting for me. I got into the room at 1:00am and the baby was delivered at 1:24am, 5 weeks ahead of schedule, via C-Section.

Baby and mom are doing fine, but will remain in the hospital for 3 to 4 days for care and observation.

Name: Cole Peter-Matthew Schaefer
Born in: Ajax Hospital
Date and Time of birth: January 31, 2008 @ 1:24am
Weight: 5lbs 9oz.

I'll keep you posted with pictures and news.

Does anyone read this anymore?

More Christmas Pictures 2007

OK, Halloween went by and no posts. Christmas went by and still no posts. The New Year is upon us and I decide I had better post something before the end of the year. There has been a lot going on in here at the Schaefer household. Lets begin the story:

First things first. We hadn't mentioned it to anyone on here, and most people know already. Michelle is pregnant. She's due early March 2008. Brenden will soon have a little brother or sister. We're not sure. We wanted to find out, but from the ultrasounds they couldn't tell. Either the baby was turned the wrong way or it's legs were crossed. To me, legs crossed must mean it's a girl. A boy would have spread em' like all boys do (haha).

Brenden is now all over the house. He can climb up and down stairs standing up. He holds on to the railing to help him up and down. It's kind of scary to see, so we make sure we don't allow him to do it unattended. There have been a few times when everything goes quiet when we're in the kitchen only to find him half way upstairs or downstairs.

Brendens' favorite word is still "No", but we're trying to encourage other words and actions such as, "please", "thank-you", "yes please", "hugs and kisses". We will get the occasional hug when we ask, but not to often. Usually after I drop him off at daycare he'll give me a hug before I leave. Makes my day much brighter. He gives mommy a hug whenb she picks him up from Daycare as well.

Brenden Christmas gift was a Diego bed in a box. For those that don't know, Diego is Dora's cousin who speaks English and Spanish in their cartoons. We also got him a toy which makes noises and plays songs. He got various other gifts from family members and friends. Brenden loves them. He hates Santa, but does love to open gifts!

On the bed topic, we have as of this past weekend moved Brenden to his new room in his new bed. He realizes that he can now get out of bed himself, however he has been staying in it all night and hasn't got out willingly or fallen out of it yet. This morning he didn't get up until 9:45am which was almost scary. He rolled himself out of baed and came into our room to wake me up. That was nice to see. It's nap time soon, so I'll have to see how that goes. I have this funny feeling naps may be tougher now that he realizes he can get out of bed.

Anyway, hopefully there are some people reading this and I'm not posting for the fun of it. I see the odd comment so I know people are reading. Feel free to post a comment to let me know you're out there reading. I was thinking of giving it up totally, but then I change my mind and keep telling myself I need to keep those informed that don't see him that often. So although my posts are spaced so far apart, I am still here and I will still be writing here. If you read this, thanks for not giving up on me. Maybe I should make a New Years resolution to post more frequently....ahhhhhh maybe not yet.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!

Halloween 2007

Well, Brenden went out as a ZEBRA this year and he was a hit in the neighborhood. He got us plenty of loot (haha), and yes, he got some to. Didn't want to take it all from him, afterall, he did most of the leg work. We were out for about an hour or so, and probably went to about 10-15 houses on our block. He was a little unsure about some of the places we went to. We even got him to say, "Trick or Treat" in baby language. Sounded almost like it though. He really tries. Everytime we left a house he would say, "Bah Bye".

You can find more pictures than the ones posted above at the link below.

http://www.davidschaefer.ca/Halloween/2007/index.html

So, put the Halloween stuff away.....Christmas is just around the corner. Can I put up the Christmas lights now?

Still around

We're still around.....just haven't had to much time to post. Next post will contain Brenden's Halloween pictures. He's going to be a ZEBRA this year!

Will post later tonight. Don't believe me, eh? You'll see.

Where have I been?

CAMPING AT SIBALD POINT PROVINCIAL PARK

OK, OK! I know....where in the heck has Dave and his BLOG gone? Down the drain? Did he fall off the face of the earth? What's the status of Brenden? Is he finished high school yet?

Well, we've been through a lot in the many months of not posting anything. I felt I needed a break. A summer break. A "don't want to update the BLOG" break.

Here goes...I am going to try and keep it short and sweet and to the point, although I tend to drift away from the point from time to time. Bear with me.

Brenden has approx. a 20 word vocabulary now. I think his favorite song now is, "If you're happy and you know it ...... ". He can pretty do or say what you tell him as long as it's simple. He is finally starting to walk. He's getting braver day by day. At first he would only walk between mommy and daddy. Now, when were not paying complete attention, he will walk from point A to point B wherever that may be. Sometimes it seems like he's on a mission to get somewhere. He has learned to take his time when he walks. He used to rush it and fall down. Now he knows, in order to remain standing he must go slow. Baby steps. The only time he really falls down is when he's on a mission and looks forward only and doesn't realize a toy is sitting on the floor and he runs into it. He really doesn't care what's sitting on the floor, just clear the way. He is teething again?! When will it end?! More drool to contend with and avoid at times. He recently had a bad diaper rash as well, but it's getting better now. He is still enjoying Daycare (at least it seems that way when he doesn't want to leave at night).

Michelle, Brenden and I are loving our new home in Whitby. Brenden loves the space to move around and so do we. I think we'll call this home for many years to come.

Michelle is doing good and I'm doing better now. On August 19th I had to have an emergency appendectomy. My appendix partially ruptured. I was in the hospital for 6 days and I just started back to work on September 10. I am still in recovery mode, but feeling much better than I was.

Not much more to say. Short and sweet as I said it would be. Summer was here, and summer is now gone. Next post in the fall! Just kidding...hopefully it'll be sooner than that.

For those that read this post....thanks for checking the posts when I haven't been writing. I know some of you were reading these posts a few times a week. Sorry for the delay and thanks for reloading the page over and over hopeing for a new post to appear.

Until next post, have a good one!

Finally moved in

Well, we've finally moved in to our new home. Our first crack at moving from house to house. I don't want to do that again for a long time. It's a lot of working which is very time consuming. The move went well, and most of our boxes are unpacked. There's a few left, but those are the non-essentials at this point. We'll get to them when we can.

Brenden loves his new "diggs". He has a lot more room to play and move around. He is really enjoying watching TV on the 51 inch tv, rather than the old 30 inch. His favorite channel, "Treehouse" looks that much bigger to him.

Brenden still isn't walking yet. He's trying his hardest to get moving, but can't seem to get one foot in front of the other and keep his balance at the same time. He's getting there though. Michelle and I can sit approx. 4 feet from one another and he'll walk between us. Occasionally he'll fall over, but we catch him at that point. I think by the end of the summer he should be up and about. He can pull himself up to a standing position with very little effort now, so I don't think it'll be long.

Anway, that's it for this time. I know it's short and there's no pictures to show, but since we've moved, I have honestly not taken any pictures yet. I haven't felt the urge to get the camera out of the cupboard. Maybe this weekend I can get a few shots of us in our new home.

Until next time........later........

100 posts and moving!

Finally made it to my 100th post! It should have been sooner, but "hey", I've been busy and haven't had a lot of spare time to write entries here.

Well, Michelle and I feel that Brenden has finally spoke his first word! And really, I don't think it's a very common first word to come from a 14 month old. You would never guess it either. He already says, mama, and dada, but we wanted a real first word. We think he may have said "bath", and other small words, but I like this one the best, because he says is so well. The word: "Buckle". We said it once and right away he said it. He even pronounced the "kle" in buckle, the same way we're suppose to. It's almost amazing. He has also learned such words as, "Kukoo", "Cat", "Woof", and "Hi". We're getting to the point where we have to really watch what we say, because he's likely to give it a try.

This past weekend we went camping in Parkhill, Ontario. It's about 25km south-east of Grand Bend which is on Lake Huron. It's about 250km from where we live in Ajax. It was a nice drive. We ended out going through Kitchener and Stratford, places I've never been before. It was a nice drive. The park was ok, but the beach was bad. They had a pool as well which looked ok. We never went in it however because the weekend was quite cool. We actually went to Parkhill for a wedding. Michelle's cousin was getting married, so Saturday was a busy day, with not much time to spend in the water. At night time the temperature dropped to about 8C. We had to dress Brenden up in double PJ's just to keep him warm. It wasn't bad for me, because I find that weather great for sleeping in. I'd rather have it that way then too hot for sleeping. You can always oput clothes on to warm up, but taking all your clothes off to get cool, isn't always the best. :) Haha. Now that we're back home, Breden is trying to catch up on his sleep, since he missed many naps, and when he did nap, it was only 30mins to an hour, which is hardly enough for him. Tomorrow is back to school for him.

Tomorrow I have to go back to Kitchener, Waterloo to interview student for a fall position open at my work. This will be the first time I get to sit on the other side of the table. It'll be a little better asking the questions rather then answering them. I hated being interviewed for fear of providing stupid answers to simple questions.

In just 4 more days we move to our new house in Whitby. We move on July 6. So let the packing commence. I hate moving. The best part about this one, is the fact that we've hired someone else to do it for us. We just need to pack and unpack and they do the rest. Much easier that way, and saves the strain on our backs. So just 2 more days of work, well one officially, because the interview is hardly work, then I'm off for a week. Not much of a holiday, but it'll give me a week to sink in to the new house and enjoy it more.

Not sure if I'll get another post off before I move, but I'll try. Who knows when I'll get the Internet all hooked up again at the new place. I'll try to get it done over the weekend, however, it may not get done until the following week.

Until next time........

First Haircut!

BRENDEN BEFORE THE HAIRCUT!


BRENDEN AFTER THE HAIRCUT!


Brenden had his first haircut on Saturday. He didn't fuss about it to much. He was a little unsure at first. He looked at the guy cutting his hair, wondering, "why is this guy trying to pull my hair out." He took it like a trooper.

Today was father's day. I had the best father's day gift today. A happy child. He was in his best behavior today, and hardly fussed at all. In fact, tonight he actully stayed up 2hrs longer than he normally does and he was very happy throughout. Usually he'll start fussing and you know t's time. Tonight, you just couldn't tell when he was tired. I think he just wanted to keep his happy day going into the wee hous of then night. Finally he fell asleep.

My turn now...time for my extended nap! Later.

Moving....times two

Last week Brenden had a little bit of the stomach flu. It's been going around apparently and I've known many people to have it. So far I've avoided it (knock on wood).

Brenden is almost walking now. As you can see from the pictures above, he is able to hold himself up as long as he has something to lean on. He'll push that little car everywhere. He loves it. Soon enough, he'll be letting go and he'll be off to the races (And so will we, apparently). He has almost a full set of teeth now. Looks like a few more left, then hopefully the drooling will stop. I think he can drool with the best of them, but according to the teachers at daycare, they've seen worse. I can hardly believe that. You would almost need a permanent spit cup attached just below the chin then, just so your floors wouldn't get soaked.

Brenden has turned into the little travelling baby. No fuss at all. Loves the rides in the car. He could probably sit for 3hrs and not fuss about it. We'll be trying that one soon enough when we go camping in 3 weeks.

The sleep schedule on the weekends seems off. He's been waking up at 6-6:30am both Saturday and Sunday. Hope he doesn't start that throughout the week. Those that know me, know that I'm not a morning person, and that I need my sleep. Guess we'll see tomorrow. I'm going to have to start going to bed by 9pm, just so I can get up early. Geez. He gets 12hrs sleep a night, and I'm starting to feel like I need that much too.

Michelle and I have recently bought a home in Whitby and are moving on July 6. It was time to leave Ajax. We love it here, but wanted to live in something with a little more room to move around. We're going to miss the neighbourhood here, since we had met so many new friends. We finally sold our house last week, which was a relief. Brenden spent a number of days staying up until 2-3hrs past his bedtime and that wasn't good. He was way off schedule and finally I think we've almost got him back to the normal routine again.

Until next post......who knows when that will be. I'll try and do one or two before we move.

Brenden's first live show

Once again, I've been way to relaxed, or what I meant was, I've been way to busy. Again, sorry for my slowness in getting a post up.

We as a family have been going through a lot lately. A few weeks ago, we bought a new house, well it's 10 years old, in North Whitby. We move in at the end of July. Currently we are in the process of selling our current house. We have been in and out of the house like crazy. Sometimes we aren't even able to get into our house until 8:30pm at night because of agents showing our home. We actually had 1 showing today and already we have 2 scheduled tomorrow. Our house has been on the market for 2 weeks now and we are still awaiting our first offer. We've already had 2 open houses the past 2 Saturday's as well. Lot's of interest, but no offers yet. We are patiently waiting. We've already dropped our price once. We still have time though, so no worries.

Daycare for Brenden has been going very good. He enjoys it there. He doesn't mind being dropped off in the morning and he's extremly happy when mom picks him up. On top of crawling, he has also learned to sit on his Winnie the Pooh car and push his feet to move him around. He can go forward and reverse.

Today Brenden went to see his very first show. Michelle, myself, Brenden and a friend, Don, went to see a show called Cirque Niagara's Avaia which was playing at the Woodbine Racetrack in a seperate tent. The show was awesome. Brenden was very, very good there. He was quite amusing. Everytime the crowd clapped for the performers, Brenden would clap too. Almost as if he knew why he was clapping. He loved the horses and some of the acrobatic performances. He managed to stay awake for the whole 2hr show. He did fall asleep on the ride home though.

Brenden got the day off on Friday since he wasn't feeling that well. He had another round of needles from the Dr. and he had a fever for the most part of the day. Both him and Michelle stayed home as she wasn't feeling well either.

Well, that's it for now, and hopefully next time I post I can tell you we sold our house. Of course, if I wait another month to post, then that will be true for sure. Haha.

And he's off!

Picture #3: Ribs, I love ribs.
Picture #4: I'm not sharing, it's my rib!

QUICK NOTE: My picture link has changed to http://www.davidschaefer.ca/brenden/index.html

Well, Brenden has officially started to crawl! He is finally on the move. Although it's taken him some time, he's almost mastered the skill in a week. Now we really need to watch him. And walking? Well he's very close to doing that as well. He has to hold on to your fingers right now, but he understands that he has to do 1 foot at a time. I would think in another month or so, he may be on his feet.

Well, unrelated to Brenden, we would like to announce that Michelle, Brenden and I have purchased a new home in Whitby. It's near Brock Rd and Taunton Rd for those that know the area. We don't move until July 27, however. That will give us the time we need to sell our current home. If you know anyone interested in moving to South Ajax, near the lake, let me know. With this said, our house is officially on the market as well. The showings start Monday, May 7 at 10:30am. There are already 2 showings lined up on the first day. Our house as of this evening, is SPOTLESS and EMPTY looking. The last time I saw it look like this, we were just about to move in. It's almost surreal to see our own home in this state. There are area's of floor, I haven't seen since we moved in 6 years ago.

Well, off to bed. Michelle starts new hours tomorrow, from 7am to 3pm. I have to do the morning Brenden things. Wake him, change him, dress him, feed him, and get him ready for Daycare. And to top it off, I need to keep the house looking spotless as it does now. That'll be tough for a little while, until we sell. Once it's sold, then we can go back to our normal lives of living.

Have a good one! And by the way, Brenden's next meal will be SPICY CHICKEN WINGS! Haha. Just kidding, it'll be awhile before he gets into the Chicken Wings and Beer.

Birthday Pictures

Well, Brenden's Birthday Parties were a success. He loved both of the cakes he was given. One on Saturday and one on Sunday.

Various family and friends attended and gave him gifts for his first. Thanks to everyone who attended and made Brenden's 1st Birthday a memorable one.

The first two pictures above are from Saturday, and the 2nd two are from Sunday.

Once again, Happy 1st Birthday Brenden!

Love Mommy & Daddy & the rest of the family

Happy Birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRENDEN!!!

More Teeth and Daycare

Brenden started daycare and already he has a cold. Well it started out as a cold and progressed to other diseases. Now he has been diagnosed with a stomach flu as well. Last week he had trouble keeping any food down. He went back to daycare 2 days following that and we got a call from daycare telling us he has pink eye. Back to the Dr. we went and sure enough, he has pink eye. He went back for a checkup 2 days later and the Dr. tells us he has a little bit of bronchitis. It's terrible. He coughs throughout the night, waking himself up. This makes him very tired during the day. The worse part about it is that at the same time, when he wakes up, his eyes are crusted shut due to the pink eye. Poor guy. Have to feel sorry for him because there's really nothing we can do other than give him the prescriptions from the Dr. He's getting better and should be able to go back to Daycare on Monday.

Brenden now has 4 teeth. The two bottom am two top have finally broke through. That's to top off everything I guess. Hopefully from this time forward he'll get better and we can avoid all these major setbacks.

Other than that he's doing well. Not crawling, but starting to get the hang of walking while hanging on to our fingers. He is also trying to mimic everything we do. The latest is: "Oh, oh". And he tries to say it back. Too funny.

Anyway, sorry there's such a span between blogs, but between working, watching hockey, watching Brenden and sleep, I've had little time to update it even weekly.

Brenden's first birthday is coming up soon. Believe it or not I have been running this BLOG over a year now. Brenden turns 1 on April 20, 2007. Very exciting.....we all made through a year, and it went so fast!
