Merry Christmas

Not sure we are going to get to a Christmas card this year so in case we don't (and I am realizing now it is already December 20th) Here is the picture we would have used for our card.  Merry Christmas everyone.  We love you!

Oliver LeBron Fay

Oliver spends many an hour putting his basketball in the hoop.  And if he happens to be somewhere where there is not a hoop he is sure to figure something out.  For example, I had to take him to get his blood drawn for some routine tests that the pediatrician needs to run for his 1 year check up.  And don't worry he survived and it, to my surprise, wasn't that bad.  We were playing in the the waiting room before we got called back and there was a nice lady sitting on a motorized cart.  I had brought one of his basketballs and he proceeded to put the ball in the basket on the front of the nice lady's motorized cart.  Good thing she had a sense of humor.  Note to self: I must bring some sort of basketball AND hoop where ever I go at ALL times.  

One Years Old!

Who can believe that just a year ago we were coming home from the hospital with our very tiny little boy...I certainly cannot.  The time has gone so fast and he seems so big now.  He is walking, saying words like, "mama, dada, ball, and uh oh," throwing his ball and putting it in his brand new basketball hoop (thanks grandpa and nana!) He really is such a big boy.   He brings so much joy and laughter to our lives it is hard to imagine what it was before he was here.  

 We had his party this past Saturday afternoon.  Lots of our friends and their kids came and celebrated with us along with the grandparents and a set of great grandparents of course.  O liver seemed to really enjoy himself.  I am not sure how much of it he understood.  He was just so excited by the amount of balls and balloons in the backyard he could have cared less about everything else!  He ate some of his cupcake (thanks Christine:) for baking them) and Michael filmed so I will do my best to get that video up soon!  Thanks to everyone for coming and to our family for all their help in putting it all together!  

  On another note I did take Oliver for his 12 month appointment on Tuesday.  Everything is good.  He weighs 18.7 lbs (giving more proof to what we already know- the kid is REALLY skinny)  and is 29.5 inches tall.
