I have been a serious slacker with the ol' blog this year. Our computer crashed...we now have a new one. I should be good to go.
Cannon is ONE today!! The past year really flew by. He is such a good little boy. The past few weeks have been his roughest. He had RSV, a double ear infection, mysteriousley passed out, multiple chest X-rays, blood draws, another double ear infection, and a hideous blistery rash covering his body which was an allergic reaction to the antibiotics. He seems to be doing really well now so I think we are on the up and up...I hope.
There will be no fancy party. I am over it. I think Bostyn's birthday party when she turned one was more of "everyone come celebrate the fact that we kept an infant alive for a whole year!!". One year olds have no clue. All they need is attention. I really think small children feel more special on their birthdays when they get to spend special time with their little family. I'd like to take advantage of that while I can. So until my kids understand the concept of a party, I will save my time, energy, and money. Cannon will get a couple of new toys, a cupcake to smash into, and a sea of balloons to wrestle with in the family room (I found a bag of balloons in my hall closet). It will be the greatest birthday he's ever had :).
Cannon is the definition of a boy. He is wild. If you lay down on the floor, be prepared to wrestle. He won't touch a baby doll. He gravitates towards trucks, things that make noise, and ANYTHING he can flip over or climb on. He has recently become a bit of a snuggle bunny...might have more to do with him being so sick this past month. He is quite the entertainer. If he has a new trick, he is more than happy to share it with you. He likes to make funny noises but has a cute and quiet little giggle. AND....the boy can eat! Anything and everything. He weighs 22.5 lbs (25-50th%). He was so sick for nearly a month and never dropped an ounce. Cannon is SO much fun and we are excited, or maybe just plain scared, to see what kind of toddler he will be!

That's my kind of party!
Happy Birthday Cannon! it sounds like he will enjoy everything that you have planned for him with just your family. He is such a precious little boy and love him to pieces. i have missed him. between him and colton being sick it has been too long since they have played together. i hope he continues to get better.

He is a doll.. even though he wont touch one.. sorry he has been sick..thats no fun! Happy Birthday Cannon!!!
No way he can't be one, you were just pregnant with him yesterday! He is so cute I just want to squeeze him. Hope he recovers and you too. It's tough having sick kids cause we don't sleep either.
