Courtland's Birthday and the Competition Ends!

So we ended our weight loss competition a few days before Courtland's birthday and the results were extremely close! Courtland lost two more pounds than me but my percentage was 2/10ths better than his so I WON!!! And if I hadn't won, I'm sure I'd plea my case that I was actually pregnant the whole competition as well so it was not fair to begin with- ha. Anyway, thankfully I did not have to get Courtland halo for his birthday, but that left me with no ideas of what to get him because that is literally all he wanted. Instead he ended up with a new battery for his computer that was completely dead, a wireless mouse, and some clothes- nothing exciting, sorry babe! He did get the traditional breakfast in bed, no Mckell duties for the day, and his favorite dinner. We're not the biggest on birthday celebrations, but I wish we were. Anyone have fun traditions they do every year or things that make birthdays more exciting- we can apply them to my birthday coming up this Friday- ha!

Mckell's actual Birthday


On Mckell's actual birthday we gave her a cupcake to eat instead of the messy cake and she loved it! This time she didn't cry or anything but dug right in and ate up the whole thing laughing and giggling the entire time- the joys of being one!



We took her for her one year check up a few days later and these were her stats:
Weight: 18.19lbs, 8.96%
Height: 29.25", 56.98%
Head: 17.59", 38.9%
Basically I have a skinny little thing that still can fit into 3-6 month bottoms but I'm now putting 6-12 month on her anyway. She is just the cutest little thing and my new favorite thing she's doing is every time Lucy barks or growls, Mckell shakes her finger at her and says no no! And of course we can't get enough of her hugs and kisses- so precious!
