Pierce, Teddy and Grant Morris: Happy 1st Birthday, Teddy!

Our snuggly, adventurous, observant and mischevious little man is 1! This year has flown by, and it feels like just yesterday that I found out I was pregnant with baby #2. Teddy has added so much to our family, and he fills our world with so much joy. He astounds us with all he can do and say! His words include: ball, uh-oh, mama, buh-bye, woof and a monkey noise. He's working on book as we speak. The doctor was impressed with his motor skills, and is convinced that he will be walking unassisted soon. Teddy also impressed her with his ability to point at objects and ask them to be named (or attempt to name them), as that is a 15 month skill. At his appointment today, he continues to grow well, and weighed in at 25 lbs. 11 oz (96%) and measured 31.5 inches (96%)!

We celebrated his birthday yesterday with a lovely family breakfast and presents. Pierce opened all of Teddy's gifts as a "helper" and would say "ooooh, Teddy, a book", then proceed to read it himself--so it was like 2 birthday celebrations in 1! After our delicious blueberry waffles (thanks, Dad), watermelon and milk, we headed out to the Discovery Museum for a morning of fun! Not wanting to miss a minute of his big day, Teddy did not nap on the way to the museum like I was convinced he would. He was in great spirits visiting all of the rooms, and could have spent the entire day in the balls and ramps room.

After an afternoon playdate for the boys, Halsey came home for an early birthday dinner and Teddy's first cake! He was melting down a little bit from his lack of naps, but that didn't slow down his ability to devour his cupcake. A little sugar solves everything!
