Baby S went for her one year appointment on Friday, April 24 she weighed 20 lbs 7oz and is 29 3/4 inches. She has gotten a new tooth on the upper right side. That makes five teeth. Everything was good except for her ears, so we made an appointment to see an ENT.
We spent the rest of the day Friday, preparing for Z Man's school festival and packing Robert for his "adventure" to Singapore. We had a family lunch at a Mexican food place. While we were there we figured out that S knows how to drink from a straw. She was having so much fun that she poked a hole in the bottom of the cup so there was water pouring out everywhere and you know what I really just did not care. I know that is a shock to all that know me, but at that moment it really just did not matter. Life went on. We got home and got everyone bathed and ready for bed, then Rob and I started packing all of his things for his 8 week adventure, yes he will be gone for 56 days! We are on day 4 of 56, I swear it feels like we should be on about day 30 by now.
Rob left on Saturday morning, our good friend Evan offered to take him to the airport. It was a hard morning for all. But, we quickly had to put on our happy faces to go to Z's school festival and sell confetti eggs, 5,000! Well we only sold 1,362. I will be sure to head up this committee again, since all the work is done. It was an overall nice day. My Mom and I both bid on a few things from the auction and Aunt Gretchen and Allison both had donated there goods/services for the event. I could not have made it through the day without my Mom and Dad's help.
Monday, Baby S and I met with the ENT. Based on the amount of ear infections, her balance and speech we will have tubes put in ASAP, Thursday to be exact. I am not worried about the surgery, well maybe a little.

Baby S Is One!
It was almost a year ago that I started blogging, it was right before Baby S was born and today Baby S turned 1! I am sad, happy and bewildered. Sad because my baby is a year old, I do not have a tiny baby to cuddly with anymore and for a few other reasons that I will get to. Happy because she is healthy and in our lives! Bewildered at where the time has gone, really how has it been a year, I feel like I just blinked and it happened. It really goes by too fast!
We celebrated her birthday on Saturday with family and a few friends at the children's museum. It was supposed to be a party at the park, but with the massive amount of rain we quickly had to change plans. We had pizza, a yummy lady bug cake made by my Dad, thanks Dad, and beautiful pictures taken by my wonderful sister in law, thanks Gretchen! I will post pictures soon! She got some wonderful gifts, clothes, a stroller, blankets, she is obsessed with these small blankets that are soft and silky the girl cannot get enough, money, books, shoes and web cams. My Mom and Dad got her shoes and she looks like Frankenstein trying to walk it is so funny!
I know the web cams are a strange gift, well that brings me to the rest of my news. Robert found out on Thursday that he is being sent to Singapore for a minimum of eight weeks. I feel as if someone punched me in the stomach and I am gasping for air. He leaves Saturday, nothing like some notice! I know that the time will pass quickly and that we will make it, but it will definitely be hard. Thanks to Jenn, Janeen, Chris, Brad, A and R for the web cams, they definitely rock and we will all get use from them.
So Baby S here is what you are like at one year:
1) You suck your thumb and rub these soft and silky blankets when you are tired.
2) You walk from place to place and have been for a while now, no crawling anymore for you.
3) You love to sing a song that Janeen taught you, Little Fish and can do the hand motions and almost say bubble.
4) You do Peek a Bo and Patty Cake well.
5) You say mama and dada pretty well. Your brother Z swears that you speak to him all the time and have an extensive vocabulary.
5) You are obsessed with pointing and it is almost as if you are asking what is that so we always tell you.
6) You have a calm personality and are generally quite and content.
7) You love to be outside, I think that it is your favorite place.
8) You love dogs, love to pet them and talk to them.
9) You love to eat Gerber Cheese puffs and basically whatever else we are all eating.
10) You are loved by so many.
I love you, my special one year old! Happy 1st Birthday Baby S!

I am a terrible poster. I always intend to come and post but it never seems to get done.
What has been going on, we had Spring Break 09, came and went. We went to Austin for a day and visited Robert's family at Zilker Park, had a picnic, played on the play ground and rode the famous train.
The rest of March is a blur. Adam, Gretchen and Maddie came to visit; we took pictures in the blue bonnets. We celebrated Honey's 61st birthday complete with a yummy pasta dinner that my Dad and Mom made and a homemade ice cream cake that I made. We have been preparing for Z Man's school festival that will take place on April 25. The first weekend in April we had a marathon of activities, we attended the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum Easter celebration, Blue Baker cookie eating contest to raise money for the children’s miracle network and three Easter egg hunts all in one day. Whew. This past weekend was Easter. Friday we went to Dallas for R's 3rd birthday party and had a great time visiting with friends. Saturday we attended a school party for one of Z Man's school friends and did some grocery shopping. Sunday we went to lunch at my Mom and Dad's and played at the park.
Z continues with school and enjoys all the activities that are associated with Kindergarten. He loves having a play date! I have been trying to coordinate a summer camp schedule.
M still loves school, but has had a horrible rash on her face for weeks that they are calling allergies! She had her pictures done at school last week; we will see how they turned out.
Baby S will turn 1 in two weeks; I do not know where the year has gone. We will celebrate her birthday at the park with family and friends. The invitations turned out awesome, thanks to my talented friend Allison. You must check out her work! She is walking and has learned to put her tongue in her cheek, shake her head yes and no. She is a woman of few words, but who needs to talk when you have an older brother and sister to do so for you! She has had her 5th ear infection as of Friday, but no tubs for us, you must have at least 8, what?
All right I started this post 7 hours ago, no joke. All is done for the night, must have sleep before Baby S wakes up!
