1 year old!

Happy birthday to Aariv, happy birthday to you - I was so surprised to hear everyone sing this to me at my first birthday party, my expression said it all.



I wouldnt let go of the cake when mama and papa fed me when we cut it- I kept asking for more when they tried to feed it to anyone but me - c'mon it's my birthday! I think I'm gonna have the sweet tooth. I was so excited that day with all the babies and kids around, and all the baloons and toys to play with. With so much activity around, I was so excited I skipped my morning nap and headed straight to the party! Mama and Papa were worried I may get scared seeing so many people around but I was so busy socializing with everyone, they wouldnt even know where I was and had to find me everytime they wanted to take a picture. Thank you all for the wonderful gifts-I have so many cool new toys to learn new skills with.

I recently had my 1-year checkup, they gave me 3 shots :( but I forgot about them soon after and was my normal self. They weighed me- I was on the lower side at 18 pouds and 17 oz, but what do you expect - my hyperactive life is keeping me slim and trim!

I have been throwing kisses to everyone I know and have been giving the best hugs you would have ever seen. Once I hug someone I pause for a long time. I can get off my parents bed to the floor on my own now. AI have started jabbering log sentences that only I understand when people around me are making conversations. I have specific words for certain things and I have started pointing at things and asking for what I want. I have one common word dayday for milk, doggy, daddy and didi.

Last weekend I made my first trip to Dallas with mama and papa. I had a great time with papa when mama was gone to work. It was so much fun seeing all my uncles and aunties and enjoying the sun there! I was a very good boy and everyone was happy I played with them all. I also made my first trip to the zoo! It was so much fun seeing all the barn animals and wild animals that I usually see in books. Some were hard to recognise but there were so many kids there making the sounds that the animals make, that was even more fun.
