Dairy Festival 2015

Every year our town, Sulphur Springs, has a Dairy Festival. It's kick-off is a hot air balloon show. We have gone every year since Elijah was born. We made it a little picnic and ate our food on a blanket and waited for the balloons to start airing up. You guys favorite balloon this year was a dog shaped balloon. It was massive. You didn't seem to be bothered at all by the hot air they would blow to make the balloons air up. It was really loud, but you didn't seem to mind. When it gets dark, the balloons start glowing. The next day, we went to the Dairy Festival parade. This was the first parade you went to that you were able to enjoy. You loved the horses.

One Year Old

Well Little Buddy, it has been a year since we welcomed you into this world. A lot has changed in a year. Even as I write, we are gearing up for a super busy summer with some major changes coming our way. (More about that later) Right now, here are some highlights of what you are up to at 12 months:

  - You will hand people things if they ask you to

 - You love to play “ball”, rolling it back and forth

 - You have 8 teeth

 - You are walking while someone holds your fingers, but will not walk by yourself

 - You are 20.4 lbs, 30.25 inches long

 - You are still drinking 3 bottles a day, eating almost all table food

 - You like to scream (which you are getting in trouble for, you will scream if you do not get your way or if we are not fast enough for you)
