The Earls: Happy 1st Birthday Joshie!

Our little Joshie isn't so little anymore! He turned 1 year old on the 10th and I still can't believe it!! We had a little family dinner for him on the 11th...we ate Carne Asada (Yummy) and of course some tasty cake after singing Happy Birthday! Josh had his very own cake that he thoroughly enjoyed! It was so cute to watch his face as he tasted the first bite then looked at us as if to say "I can really eat all this?" He also had his 1 year checkup about a week later and he is growing great and the doctor was very excited to see that he is gaining weight. His last appointment put him in only the tenth percentile for his weight (17 lbs)...now he's in the thirteenth. (20 lbs 4.5 oz.) It's still funny to me that he's even on the lower end since he has out eaten his daddy a few times at dinner! Crazy!! He's definitely close to walking though...he easily stands up holding onto pretty much anything around him and he will let go and stand there for a short time before grabbing for it again. Anytime now! It's still just amazing that he's growing so fast! Time Flies!!
