One-Year Stats

cruz had his one year appointment on the 19th (grandpa johnson's birthday!) and he did pretty awesome considering he got four shots and a finger prick! grandma judy joined us as heath was in chicago for work. here are his latest stats:

Height: 29" (25th percentile)
Weight: 20 lbs. (10th percentile)
Head Circumference: 18" (25th percentile)

he's definitely a growing boy and loves to eat!

not only did heath have to travel for work this week - so did i! heath was in chicago monday morning through wednesday night and i was in dallas wednesday morning through friday afternoon. grandma judy came up tuesday afternoon to help out (thanks mom!) and watched him on wednesday since i had to fly out at 7:00 am. it was tougher than i thought it would be being away from him! the smile on his face when i walked in the door last night was priceless! so glad i don't have to travel very often.

heading to my cousin rachel's baby shower in owatonna today. her little guy clayton was born in june! looking forward to meeting him!

have a great weekend!

First Hair Cut!

cruz had his first hair cut today! don't worry, we didn't cut off all of his curls, just had shelly (heath's hair lady) clean it up a bit. i was a little nervous of how he would react, but he acted like such a big boy and didn't make a fuss at all. shelly tuned in phineaus and ferb on the little tv and put a fun 'under-the-sea' themed cape on him. she did save us a few curls to tuck into his baby book. awww!

it's so hot and humid that his hair has been unbelievably curly today! makes it kind of hard to tell how much she cut, but she did a great job.

stay cool!

Rockin' in Mom's Old Chair...

today i pulled out my old little rocking chair for cruz to use. i think he likes it!

4th of July Weekend

last week's long holiday weekend was absolutely perfect! the weather was beautiful, cruz enjoyed his first adventure on lake minnetonka and we had a fun time with the family down in owatonna on the 4th.

enjoy the heat!

More Birthday Fun!

we had a first birthday party for cruz on sunday, june 26th (also our 12th anniversary!). cruz had lots of fun hanging out with some relatives (thank you all for coming to celebrate), eating another cupcake, opening gifts and playing in the backyard. it's so hard to believe he's already a year old! we go in for his check-up on the 19th and i will post his latest stats then.

here are some fun pics from his big day:

we're heading out to lake minnetonka with our friends the degels this afternoon. can't wait to see how cruz likes his first boat ride! happy 4th of july weekend everyone!
