Seriously.
Punctuated by moving all of Louise's stuff into Westminster Canterbury (Alison); car problems again! (Alison); Mardi Gras luncheon prep (Eric); Romeo and Juliet tickets with our neighbors (Alison and Eric); Sunday School (Alison); Mardi Gras brunch (Eric, Alison and Vake) and moving Louise in (Eric, Alison and Vake).
And then one lost cell phone. (Alison)
Seriously.
We'll have pics of V playing with his new toys from his birthday up hopefully tomorrow...

Quotation of the Day
From the nurse at Dr. Schweiker's office.
"He's making his own growth curve."
That's right. Still off the charts for all three. Weight: 30 pounds six ounces. Height: 33 inches.

Birthday Boy!
What a day! We woke up to this!!!!
And Mommy wound up having an unexpected snow day!!!! We went to lunch with Taren, Huff and Grandmary at the New York Deli on Cary Street. Vakie and Huffalicious split a grilled cheese and some chicken fingers. Yum. We wanted to stay for birthday dessert but someone was too fussy...
Then we came home and played for a little bit. And tried to take a nap but were too revved up about the birthday.
So we rested while Mommy got the animal menagerie on the table.
Sorry this pic is so crummy- it is the dining room chandelier all gussied up.
After our nap, we changed into our par-tay outfit to wait for Daddy, Grandmary, Aunt Martha, Uncle Neil, Aunt Andrea and Uncle Rob and Henry and Cornelia.
And then we had dinner- lasagne. Yum.
And all of a sudden, it was CAKE TIME. Dee-licious. Daddy and Mommy made me a German Chocolate Cake. With the "family" recipe from the back of the box.
And everyone sang a song to me. And then I ate cake.
Everyone seemed to have fun even though the house was freezing.
And then I got to open my presents.
Uncle Neil got me a dragon. His name is Custard.

Fresh Out of Babies at Six North
It's sad but true. I'm fresh out of babies here at Six North. Can you believe it?
I love my little boy and I cannot believe how much he's changed this year- take a look at this slideshow from 2.10.2009.

The Waiting Room
Last year at about this time, Eric was getting Buz and Ned's Barbecue for our friends and we were making a pool to try to decide how big Vake would be. Martha was the winner- although I have no idea what she said she thought the weight would be.
Eric and I had been to the doctor's office earlier that day for an ultrasound- they had told us that Vake was so big (11 pounds 11 ounces) that they would not permit me to try childbirth- it was going to be a scheduled c-section all the way. (It turned out that they guessed about two pounds too heavy but who knew?)
I was anxious but not too anxious. Mostly I just felt sick and humongous. And pretty relieved that someone was going to make the whole pregnancy process be over!!!!
The scheduled c-section is weird that way- I was admitted to the hospital at 1 and by 3:25 we had a baby. Eric went to work that morning. I thought about going but changed my mind when I realized that Anne could make it.
It was a beautiful day the day Vake was born- not like today at all...
Unbelievable that it has been a year.
