Calling all Fishermen

I don't even know where to begin with pictures from our weekend at the fishing lake house. We had a great weekend with Mom and Wayne (Juju and Ottie) and the Perry family (Laura, Heath, Laurie and Slade). Since Slade's birthday party and Caleb's birthday parties were planned for the same day we decided to have a little family birthday for them. The rest of our time was spent fishing, playing in the yard and resting. Who could ask for a better time with family than that?

the "big kids" fished;

while others surveyed the land.

but they all showed up for the party.

"a progression of cake" by csh...
waiting,

eating,

loving,

and finally all done.

Then later the next day...

Dreaming of more cake I suppose.

Caleb Weighs in at 1

I can't believe the boy is one! Well actually he was one on the 15th and I am just really slow to get pictures up.

His first ride forward facing. He loves it.

He is growing like a weed; to give you a little perspective of him here are his measurements at his one year check up:

Weight - 23 pounds, 9 ounces (60th percentile)
Height - 29 inches (30th percentile)
Head Circumference - 20 inches (off the chart)

Checking out Anna Grace's new booster seat.

Rocking with Dean watching a little Baby Einstein.

To give further perspective into this head size thing. The 95th percentile for one year old boys (highest listed on the chart) is 19 1/8 inches. Furthermore my head circumference is only 21 3/4 inches. I continue to believe that he is solving all of the world's problems in that noggin (or Bucket Head as my uncle likes to call it) of his but he can't articulate the solutions yet.

The children at Bruster's having birthday ice cream.

One more noteworthy thought. Here is where Anna Grace and Dean were at their one year checkups:

Anna Grace
Weight - 19 pounds, 4 oz (15th percentile)
Height - 28 1/4 inches (20th percentile)
Head Circumference - 18 1/2 inches (50th percentile)

Dean
Weight - 20 pounds, 4 ounces (20th percentile)
Height - 29 1/2 inches (50th percentile)
Head Circumference - 18 3/4 inches (90th percentile)

And finally the day Anna Grace was born her body was 20 inches long which is equal to Caleb's current head size...It would have taken her entire body length to make Caleb's head!

Fun with Holt

Caleb enjoyed a fun day playing with Holt, his 2nd cousin (or whatever it is called when it is my 1st cousin's child and my child). Here are some pictures:

Caleb playing and getting all dirty.

Now Holt's turn.

And finally tub time.

(as you can see they were filthy to say the least)
