Happy Birthday, Little Dude

Today is Silas's first birthday! Here he is this morning, sitting with some of the spoils (and no, we haven't cut his hair yet ... you voted and we listened):



Reading a birthday card from Great-Grandma Bernice:



And yes, we are crazy people. Those charts they give you in the hospital to track your baby's meals, poops, and naps -- we created our own version and haven't stopped recording data. It's not totally loopy; it's a convenient way for Charlene and us to make sure that, while passing him back and forth, we haven't missed a tooth-brushing, fed him too much of the same stuff, or screwed up his nap schedule. And look how neat it is to watch the "Day" number click from 365 to 366 ... it's a bit like watching your car odometer flip from 9,999 to 10,000.



Hey, at least we didn't graph the data.

Hi Meredith and Todd,

Happy B-Day Silas. Silas looks so cute. I will remember to tell Silas when he gets older that you guys didn't spring for a whole cake and all Silas got was a pumpkin donut!!!! LOL. He seems to have enjoyed it though. I don't think I saw one crumb left:)
