Happy 1st Birthday Cal!!

Yes, on Oct 16th, Calvin, aka Cal, Cali-Boy, Chancho, Chancho Biggins, Bigs, Sumo Baby, turned 1 year old! Hard to believe that just 1 year ago I was giving birth to this giant 9lb 13oz baby!

We celebrated with a small get together at our place for pizza & cake, and even my dad got to be here (which was fitting being that he was in MD with us when Cal was born - he's the one who kept the kids for 2 days while we were in the hospital, he rocks!). Poor Cali was teething pretty bad, so he wasn't much into his cake. I'm thinking that he will have to make up for it with a nice big frosty piece for Nate's bday coming up.

For Cal's 1 year check up he was 30 inches tall & weighed 25lbs. He already has 8 teeth (the other 2 kids only had their bottom 2 on their 1st bdays) and he is walking ALL over the place! His cheesy grin is contagious and he loves chasing after his bro & sis - and occasionally pinning Chason down on the ground (I really think he is stronger than his "big" bro, he's practically the same size, they share many of their clothes already!).
