Aryk's 1st Birthday!

WOW!!! One Year Old! He is such a sweet baby. Aryk has 7 teeth, he can walk, but chooses to crawl. He hates to have his diaper changed. He screams bloody murder in the bathtub, but loves to sit in the shower. Aryk loves balls, dogs, trucks, being outside, riding in grocery carts, and watching his brothers. He is all boy. Wonder where he gets that from? He weighs 21 lbs. 8oz. And is 30.8 inches long.
Ashton and AJ love their brother. They are so good to help him, play with him, chase him, tell him what to do, feed him, carry him, buckle him up, and show off for him. Mom and Dad wouldn't know what to do without them. They are great big brothers and helpers. Aryk is a lucky little man. Sometimes when he is jabbering it sounds like he is actually saying thier names. He will sit in one room and holler "AHH JAAA" to the room where AJ is playing. And sometimes he will yell "AAAHAAAN", and we look at each other and ask, did he just say "Ashton"? But it is really hard to tell. He is very close to forming a word. He has sounds for "ball" and "dog". Bets on Aryk's first word? Ball? Dog? AJ? or Ashton? Jeff keeps trying for "dad" and Alyson keeps teaching him "mama". We will see! Aryk LOVED ALL of his birthday presents. It didn't take him long to realize there was fun stuff hiding under the wrapping paper. He LOVES cake and ice cream too! Too bad he didn't sleep very well that night. We blame the sugar. He hated the clean up (remember the bath tub phobia?).

Our 1 Year Old! We LOVE You!

Alyson, he is so cute and adorable! I'd blame the sugar too.
