Brandon's first birthday party was today. Brandon's party was extra special because we weren't only celebrating his first birthday but we were celebrating how far he has come in a year. He went from being a tiny 1 pound, 14 ounce, 13 inch baby when he was born to an 18 pound, 1 ounce, 28 1/2 inch (as of the middle of May...he is probably longer now) one year old. It was also his first time meeting a lot of friends and relatives since he was under house arrest during RSV season until May 1st. A few babies that were in the NICU with Brandon were at the party to celebrate, Kate and Sue who were two of Brandon's primary nurses when he was in the NICU, and lots of friends from different times in our lives, and family. Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with us. All of you have been there for us so much during the last year and we are so happy we finally got to share our little boy with you. It means the world to us that you were able to come and celebrate our special day with us.
We had his party at Oakhurst Fireman's Field. The weather was beautiful and the day went great. We had Pinebrook Fire Department barbeque ribs and chicken which was nice because we didn't have to worry about cooking the food and setting up the food. They also included dinner rolls, potato salad, macaroni salad, plates, napkins, and plasticware. I had four different inflatable water things set up for the babies and kids and they had so much fun playing with everything. Brandon had fun playing in the pool and meeting and seeing everyone. He was so good the whole time at the party. He dug right into his cake and then even tried to eat the plate!
