The Birthday Boy

What a weekend! I am still recovering. Carsten turned 1 on Saturday, sharing his birthday with his Great Uncle Daryl. We had his party after his baby dedication at church. Carsten dove face first into his cake! Later he picked it up like a sandwich and shoveled it in. He didn’t care about opening the presents, but his favorite was the lawn mower from his Great Aunt Nonna. We were wiped out that evening and enjoyed having dinner with the Reeds like we used to.

Today I took him in for his Well Child Visit. He is doing great! Weighing in at 23 lbs 6 oz and 31 1/2 inches tall, he is growing just fine!

He will be starting a music class at Rolly Pollies next week. That was a gift from Gamma Tucson and Papa Ken. I think he will like it a lot. He loves to dance when he hears music!

He is such a joy and quite a blessing to our family! Now here are some pictures of all the chaos!
