It was snowing for Ben's 1st birthday! Woohoo! It was an eventful day, for sure! Ben started it off by throwing up his bottle - compliments of the Rotovirus! We then trotted off to visit Rosina for our 1 year check up. She assured me that a piece of cake will not make a 1 year old vomit and have diarrhea for 3 days straight, but that the rotovirus would. I just think it's kind of ironic that his "sickness" started about 4 hours after he devoured his birthday cake. She said that sometimes coincidences happen.
Benny Boy weighed in at a whopping 21 lbs 12 ounces (a reciprocal if you will!). Though it sounds large and in charge, he's still only in the 35th percentile. We need to bring on more meat! Measuring Ben was quite a task, and the most accurate measure we could get was 29 inches - the same he was at 9 months. There is a strong possibility that Benny might be a midget. This will come in handy when his school's drama club does The Wizard of Oz.
Ben took a nice long nap in the afternoon and I trotted off to my 16 week appointment with Cara. Everything is going well and in 2 weeks, we should find out if Ben's going to have a little brother or sister!
