Praetorian's 1st Birthday!

Praetorian turned 1 on May 23rd and he had a great birthday. It started with a trip to the zoo with the Rivenbark's, then his first piece of cake, then opening some presents. The next day, he got more cake at the Rivenbark's and more presents. It's so hard to believe it's been a year!

He definitely got the concept of opening presents. He found a present in the living room and I came in and he was already opening it!

The outage is finally over, well has been for a while. But, things have still been very busy at home and at work. I've finally downloaded my pictures for the last few months. Since my last post, Praetorian has turned 1 and is doing MANY new things! I'll try to summarize - walking, climbing on EVERYTHING, one top tooth is half way out and 2 more will be out shortly! Very exciting stuff. Here are some pictures from the last few months. One of the funniest things he's been doing lately is putting this bucket on his head. He even tries to walk with it on and when you look inside the bucket, he's just smiling. Hilarious.

9 Months Old

I can't believe I've gotten so far behind on this. Things have really picked up at work and I haven't had time at home to get on here. Praetorian's turned 9 months and then 10 months this past Sunday since I last posted. Here is his 9 month picture. I will have to post his 10 month picture later. Also, here is a picture of his new carseat, which makes our car feel so much smaller than we thought it was before! He seems to be happier in the car now that he is upright and can look around. His latest development is waving goodbye. He has also had some separation issues lately. He has started crying more when I drop him off in the mornings, it makes it that much harder to leave him - but, at least I know he misses me! One day, my Mom was trying to get him to wave goodbye to me. I took him for one last hug and he started waving goodbye to my Mom! He was hoping to come with me:) I guess that's it for now. The outage starts on April 21st, so there probably won't be many posts until May for those of you who actually read this! :)

Weekend with the Taylor's

The Taylor's came this past weekend. We had so much fun. On Saturday, we went to the Corning Museum of Glass, which is about 2 hours away. On Sunday, we ate breakfast out and spent the rest of the day at home. Here are some pictures from the weekend. There is one of Praetorian behind this glass thing at the museum that distorts your face - look how big his ears look and then how his head looks big and his body small.

Like Father Like Son

Chris probably wouldn't like that I am posting this, but it is too funny. Chris has always had this wierd thing where he kind of sticks his tongue out when is concentrating or focusing on something. He doesn't even realize it when he does it. I caught a picture of Chris and Praetorian both doing it this past weekend. It's amazing how these wierd quirks pass on to kids.

Praetorian and Chris

We have taken some good pictures of Chris and Praetorian recently - playing "catch" and with their matching sweaters and one where he is "standing" on his own (with help of course).

Little Boy Pajamas

The Taylor's neighbor gave Praetorian these pajamas for Christmas. We just love them, they make him look like a little boy.
