Sullivan's first birthday party!

Hello all! Hope everyone had a great weekend! We had a fabulous weekend celebrating Sullivan's first birthday. On Saturday, we had a party for Sullivan's friends and family. He had 4 of his best buds and their parents over to the house, Auntie Lindsay was here, and both sets of grandparents were here! We had a great afternoon of fun! The house was packed with fun stuff all for Sullivan. What a lucky boy!


This is a picture of Sullivan's party invitation that he sent to his friends.

Here are some pictures of Sullivan opening his presents. Not only were the presents fun, but the wrapping paper and bows were also a huge hit with the babies!

Let's get this party started!


What cool lawn tools! Thanks Brayden!

Sully loved his firetruck even in the box!

Yeah for presents!

What a cool chair! It even has his name on it! Now, Sully will have a fun place to sit and read! He will be so intelligent. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Palmer!

Woah! A fun tunnel to crawl through!

CAKE TIME!
Sully's best little girlfriend's mom, Catey, made Sullivan's adorable birthday cake. It was shaped and decorated to look like a little duck. It was an awesome cake. Catey is very talented. Sully also loved the cake! Here are some fun pictures.
What a perfect cake for Sullivan's big day!

Let the fun begin!

Yummy!

Would you like some cake, Grancie?

Cake time was over...so sad for Sully!

Sully's friends!

All of Sully's buddies sat for a photo shoot. Not the easiest task to complete! You get the idea! haha

Grancie and Grandma Palmer!

Auntie Lindsay and Grancie!

Malley with her sweet bow! She loved the paper!

Sully LOVES Jazz!

Thanks Mommy and Daddy for the great party!

We hope you enjoy the pictures. As you can see, we had a great time at Sully's party! He loves all of his new toys! We have been playing really hard with all of his new toys! So fun for Sullivan!

Sullivan and I went to the Dr. yesterday for his one year checkup. He had 3 shots and his finger pricked. He cried, but was very brave. He weighs 22lbs. 9oz. and is 31 inches long. He has grown a lot over the past year! The doctor said he was very healthy! Yeah for Sully!

Have a great week!

Sullivan's first birthday!

Today, Sullivan turned one! I cannot believe that a year has already flown by! It is amazing! This time last year, Brett and I were at the hospital still taking bets on whether "Baby P" was a girl or a boy! What an amazing year it has been! Sullivan was born at 10:22, so he officially is not one, but we counted it anyways today! Sullivan had a great day!

This morning, Brett and I showed him his new playroom. I painted a jungle mural on one of the walls, and last night Brett and I put together a fun playhouse for Sullivan that is in his new playroom! Sully LOVES his new playroom, and I love having a room where I can let Sully crawl to his hearts content without having to worry about him hurting himself or any of our stuff.

Here are some pictures of Sullivan in his new room.

This is a picture of my mural. The other walls in the room are green.

Sully loves the lion! He kisses and talks to him a lot!

Here is Sully's new playhouse...

Hey, guys! I'm in here!

Here is the Birthday Boy right after he woke up. He still has sleepy eyes!

Today at playgroup we had a little celebration for Sullivan and Jack (Sully's buddy whose birthday was yesterday). They each had a cupcake, and we sang "Happy Birthday". Sully LOVED his cupcake, and Jack didn't care at all. We know who has the sweet tooth now! haha These pictures are hilarious...enjoy!

Yummy!

This is so much fun!

Tomorrow is Sullivan's party, so I am sure we will have some fun pictures from that event. Have a great weekend.

Sully hanging with his buddies!

Hello everyone! We hope you are surviving the heat! It has been so hot down here, and I hear it is the same story just about everywhere! We take the dogs for a nice, long walk in the early morning, and then the rest of the day, we hang out indoors. It almost is like the dead of winter, because nobody is outside! Too hot!

Last week, Sully did find a fun way to stay cool. We hung out at Malley's house because she has a fun blow-up pool! Sully and his buddies splashed around in the cool water to try and stay cool. It was a fun afternoon.

So fun!

Every Friday, Sully and I hang out with our friends at playgroup. This week, playgroup was at Brayden's house. He had a fun firetruck that Sully and Brayden thought was pretty cool. Brayden sat on the truck and Sully walked behind. Sully was very proud of himself! Any day, Sully is going to be walking on his own! Watch out!

Brayden, where do you want to go?

Mommy had to give Sully a head start, and then he was off on his own! How fun!

All over the house, we have special places for Sully to play with his toys. In our living room, we have a desk and the bottom drawers are approved places for Sully to explore. We have all kinds of "toys" in there that are appropriate for Sully to play with. Everything from a pair of goggles, empty film containers, remote controls, etc. Sully loves his special drawers!

Ooo, what can I get myself into in here...

Sully's special girlfriend came over to play the other day, so I snapped a few shots of the two of them. They both play so sweetly, but not really together yet. Sully is too busy for Malley at times, and I don't think they understand how to really play with each other yet. They do "talk" to each other and that is really sweet to hear.

Sully and Malley both thought the blocks were a tasty treat!

Best Buds!

We hope everyone has a great rest of the week. Sullivan's first birthday is on Friday and his party is on Saturday, so we will have some fun pictures to share after the weekend. Have a great week!

Sullivan's busy week!

Hello everyone! Sullivan had a very busy week! He was feeling better from being sick last weekend, and has become quite busy! He crawls so fast and is EVERYWHERE! He loves to leave big messes for Mommy to clean up! His favorite game to play this week is with his bedroom door. I get on one side and Sully is on the other--he opens and closes the door and thinks it is loads of fun! Everytime he opens the door, I say, "Boo!" and he just howls! It is a fun game that he likes to play over and over again!

It was so hot here this week, so we tried to be inside as much as possible. We took a trip to the mall where there is a carousel. It was Sullivan's first ride and he had a fabulous time!

He knew just how to hold on.

Every time the carousel went up or down, Sully had a huge smile on his face!

The other night, I let Sully explore/eat his food on his own. It made for a lot of clean up and a trip straight to the tub, but Sully had a really fun time, and I enjoyed watching him. It was worth all the clean-up!

Talk about being excited!

If you look closely, you can even see the tofu in his hair!

This weekend is Brett's birthday and our anniversary, so we are spending a night downtown. On Saturday I have a tennis match and then we are going to rollerblade around a park downtown, eat at a fun restaurant and stay downtown so we can go to a cool exhibit on Sunday. Granice and Gramps will be keeping Sully under control while we are gone. Brett and I are looking forward to a fun weekend. Hope you all have a fabulous weekend as well!

Sullivan's new favorite activity!

Hello everyone! Sullivan's new favorite activity is to play in the tupperware cabinet. We have put locks on all the cabinets except one, so this is where Sullivan can play in the kitchen. He likes it right after I unload the dishwasher because there are lots of fun containers to play with and pull out. Sometimes, Sully likes to pretend that the cabinet is his fort! He is so funny!

I'm going in...

There are lots of fun "toys" in here!

I love my special cabinet!

He is playing so sweetly.

The cabinet is Sullivan's new favorite activity, but his favorite toy this week has been his green ball. We picked this up at the grocery store for a dollar---who knew it would make for so many afternoons of fun!

There's my ball...I am going to try and catch it!

Gotcha!

Sullivan was a little under the weather today, so we had a nice, slow day inside taking care of Sullivan. He had a fever and we took a trip to the doctor, but I think he will be back to his old self tomorrow. Hope everyone is having a great weekend. We will update again soon!

Sully turns 11 months!

Happy 4th of July! We had a great weekend! We relaxed a lot and had some fun afternoons playing with Sullivan! Today is Sullivan's 11th month birthday, so he wanted to share some pictures of him in his new favorite outfit. Davis bought him this outfit before we even knew if we were having a boy or a girl. I guess Davis was hoping for a boy! We thought the outfit was so big last summer at our baby shower, and now it fits! Oh, how time flies! Just in the past few days, Sullivan has mastered the art of pulling up on just about anything. Now, when we go and get him in the mornings and after his naps, he is standing in his crib greeting us with a smile. Any day, he is going to take that first step! Enjoy the pictures!

We had the best time making Sullivan laugh!

Scary laugh!

So sweet!

Sullivan's Fort!

Today, we took a big box from the garage and put it in Sullivan's playroom upstairs. We cut out a door and a window, and Sullivan thought it was SO fun! We played "fort" for quite a long time this afternoon. It was so fun to see Sully crawl in and out of his fort and to play "peek-a-boo" outside his window. Here are some fun pictures to enjoy! Who knew a simple box would be the cause of so much Sully fun!

Hey! Look at me in my fort!

So much to do!

Hey, what's out there?

BOO!

What a sweet, little head!

I'm outta here!

Grancie and Gramps are out of town for the week, so we are watching Patches. He was pretty depressed until he realized that Sullivan was an easy target for treats! I don't think Patches is minding his vacation spot for the week, and Sullivan thinks it is a fun game!

Here Patches...have a Cheerio!

Sure, Sully! I would love a treat!

Sullivan is finally crawling on his hands and knees! He still, once and awhile, will go back to his belly crawling, but for the most part, he crawls on his hands and knees. He gets a lot less rug burn now, and is a lot faster! We baby proofed the cabinets and plugs today. Sully has become quite curious since he started to crawl!

Go, Sully, Go!

Enjoy the pictures!
