Stats of the 1 Year Old Peter

I started this post back in January so here's to finishing things that I've started.

We went to the doctor's today for Peter's 1 year well check up and he is as healthy as ever. He got 4 shots, 2 in his leg and 1 in each arm. He does not like getting shots but he recovers really well after the fact. He also doesn't like the doctor touching him, period.

Weight: 18 lbs 8 ozs (3rd %)

Height: 30.25 inches (55th %)

Head: 18.5 inches (70th %)

Since Peter's birthday is only 5 days after Christmas we were still visiting Andrew's brother and sister-in-law in Texas. Andrew got some cake pans for Christmas and so we used them for Peter's birthday cake. Peter even got his own little dual layer cake. They are all funfetti cakes with the funfetti frosting to go with. We had rainbow sherbet to go with (everything was really yummy). 

Everything started out really well with us singing happy birthday to Peter and showing him the cake. But it all went down hill from there. You'll notice in the pictures that Peter is wearing his clothes before we gave him the cake and not afterwards. Andrew decided after we finished singing but before we gave him the cake that he need to be stripped. Peter didn't even want to try the cake and started crying and even threw it on the floor. He was the saddest little birthday boy I have ever seen. 

He did get over it after we let him down out of his high chair and got to open presents. I think that perhaps there were two things we could have done better: first is decide to take the clothes off before putting him in his high chair and second do birthday time after a nap instead of after dinner. We will live and learn I guess.
