My 1st Shiner

Last night Destry Jr. tripped over Destry's foot and took a header into his plastic toy bin. He hit the corner of the bin just above his left eye and got his first shiner.

Usually when he falls it's no big deal, but this time he cried and cried. I was cooking dinner and didn't know what was happening, but once I heard him cry I knew it wasn't good. It immediately turned red, and this morning it was starting to turn purple. We are planning on getting his 1 year portraits taken this weekend so we may have a permanent record of his boo-boo.

Swim Class

For the past 2 weeks Destry Jr and I have been taking a parent/tot swim class twice a week. Destry really enjoys the class, he has a smile on his face the whole time. We do lots of singing, and playing with water toys. He loves splashing, jumping in, and drinking the water.

One Year Check-Up

Destry had his one year check up this afternoon. He weighed in at 21lbs 3oz (25%) and is 30 1/4 inches tall (50%). His nugget is still pretty small at 25%, he got his tiny noggin from Tiff. The Doc said that he looked great and everything was going well. He is doing pretty much everything he should be doing at this point. He got two shots today, both at the same time, he cried for a minute but was fine after the initial shock. This evening we had a guys night as Tiff was out with the girls at Bunko. We ordered pizza, watched Two and a Half Men, took a walk and played for a while before going to bed. Speaking of Two and a Half Men, I swear he sings the theme song. When even it comes on he swings his head to look at the TV and starts to sing. It's too funny.

Another Tooth Post

Feels like I write this post every few days. Destry got his 10th tooth on his birthday. He now has the front four on both top and bottom plus two molars on the top.

Chompers

Destry now has 9 teeth. Last week while trowing his head back and crying I got a peak at a molar that poked through. It's on the top left side and who knows when it broke through. His 9th tooth is his front bottom right tooth and it came in on Saturday, which helps to explain why he was not feeling well at his birthday party.

1st Birthday Party

Today we celebrated Destry's 1st Birthday with a small party with a few family and friends. When he woke up this morning he was a bit cranky. He felt really hot and was running a temperature. He took a long nap and was feeling a little better by the time everyone arrived. Still, he was just not himself today, normally very active and outgoing, he was more quiet and clingy. After visiting with everyone for a while, we opened presents and then he dug into his cake. I think he liked the frostng more than the cake and as expected, he made quite a mess. His actual birthday is on Wednesday and we have another party planned with the whole family at the cabin next weekend. Hopefully he feels better by then. He are some pictures from his first party.

Photo Gallery

I have added pictures from our trip to Seaworld and Easter weekend to the Photo Gallery. I still need to add pictures from DisneyWorld, but as you can expect, I have a lot of pictures to go through. I hope to get these added soon.

Happy Easter!

Hope you all had a great Easter. We had a fun weekend. On Saturday, Destry went to his first Easter Egg Hunt at a community hunt here in Duvall. He wasn't quite sure what to do but Mama helped him out. In the end, he got 5 eggs and really enjoyed being around all the people. After that we packed up and went to the cabin. We spent the evening coloring eggs and hanging out with Grandma & Grandpa J and Scott & Whitney. On Sunday we went to church and then had Easter Dinner with the whole family. Destry had a great time playing with everyone and we enjoyed spendng time with family. Here are some photos from Easter weekend.

Tooth #7

Today I got a peek at Destry's 7th tooth to come in. It's on the bottom left side and has just broken through! If we can get a picture of it I'll be sure to post it.

What A Trip!

After 11 days, over 5,ooo miles traveled and 5 amusement parks visited we are finally home. Tiff, Destry Jr and I met up with my parents, brother and neice for a family vacation to Florida. While there we visited relatives in Lakeland, went to Seaworld and spend 7 days at DisneyWorld. We all had a wonderful time. I will try to post pictures soon.
