happy 1st birthday ethan!

We are not sure how it happened but a whole year has passed and our little man Ethan Matthew Weseloh is now a big one year old! I feel like the last month he has really had some growth spurts - he has started to take steps, is doing some army crawling and is babbling a lot more. Right now his favorite things to do are play with his measuring cups - dropping it on the floor and then crawling to get it and on and on, walking all over the house with the help of mom or dad, and hanging outside on the front porch. At his 12 month check up he was 32.5 inches long and 26 lbs 12 oz. That means that in one year he grew 11 inches and gained 17 lbs 2 oz!

On his birthday day (June 6th) we started off with a birthday stroller run followed by some birthday pancakes.

Later on we met Pete for a birthday lunch followed by our attempt to ride the swings (we were more into it then Ethan).

We ended the day by opening up a few birthday presents.
Ethan really loves ducks right now and so Auntie and Uncle Russell got Ethan a special duck birthday card that Ethan kept squealing over! He even gave a few kisses.
Finally, we had some birthday dinner and a birthday cupcake with Auntie and Uncle Russell!
Here are his official 12 month birthday chair pictures:
Happy Birthday Ethan! We love you so much!
