Bella loves Sladen and she loves to give kisses!

We had a pretty low key birthday for Sladen. It was hard for me to get motivated to throw a big party. So we just had a small get together with some friends. Sladen had his first experience with cake and he loved it. He ate about 1/3 of it all by himself. I finally had to stop him or he would have kept going. He was so funny.

Sladen is such a joy in our lives. He is a very happy baby and rarely ever cries. He is getting quite a little personality. He is a lot like his brother in that he loves attention. We will be in a restaurant and he zeroes in on a table and watches them until they notice him. Then he flashes that adorable smile and they almost always take the bait and talk to him. He is definitely a smiley little guy. He is a great sleeper and still likes to take 3 naps a day. I just took him to his one year check-up and he was in the 8th percentile for weight, the 65th percentile for head circumference and in the 90th percentile for height. That means he is a totally different body type than Kenan who is stocky and solid. Not to mention he looks so different with his blue eyes and blond hair.

We look forward to what the Lord has in store for our little guy! He brings us so much happiness and joy! We are truly blessed!
