Happy Birthday- a little late!

This past week we celebrated our little Rexy's 1st birthday. Can you believe that he is one year old?! It is pretty shocking to our family, but we couldn't imagine life without this little guy.

Rexy's big day was spent at the doctors office and sleeping. That morning I woke up feeling like something just wasn't quite right. I decided to be a party pooper and take him in to see the pediatrician. Turns out Rex had an ear infection and Bronchitis/RSV. Poor little guy.
After his visit I decided that it might be smart for myself to go in also. I had been down the whole week, not being able to get rid of my painful head cold. After about two more hours of doctors, they diagnosed me with a sinus infection and strep throat. No wonder all I could do the whole week was lay on the couch and let my kids go wild. Literally my house was a disaster because I had no energy to be a mom. Nathan was so good to us. He would go late to work and come home early to help out. He even missed the opportunity to go to the jazz game in OKC just to take care of us. That is is definitely a huge sacrifice for Nathan, he is amazing.

Rex on the other hand never let on that he was sick. I only thought something might be wrong because of the runny nose and the tugs on the ears. He is such a sweet, happy, content little guy. He truly brings such an amazing spirit into our home. Thank goodness Rex has a dad who pulled through for him on his special day. Nathan bought a cake to celebrate and made it a fun night for the kids. Happy birthday Buddy Boo, we love you.

Here are a few of Rexy's favorites right now: He loves to follow his sister around where ever she goes and because of that gets pushed around a lot. Rex is learning to balance and is pretty close to walking. He loves climbing up the stairs, turning on the water in mom and dads bathtub and pulling out all the plates in the dishwasher. He loves balls and buckets. He is also our human vacuum cleaner(He will eat anything if it is on the floor). Rex can say "momma", "dadda" and "uh oh". We are so happy to have this cute little cuddle bug!
