Barton has been a teeth-a-holic.  Finally at 16 months the count is 16. The 4th canine popped through and we are REALLY hoping for a break before the second set of molars decide to come in.

(Oh and yes the brown stuff all over is my eye shadow...great :-(...)

Scrapbookers

Ok for all you scrapbookers, digital is the way to go. And the best/cutest place is Leslie at www.ggdigitaldesigns.com She is having a give away for a $25 gift card. So you should head over to her store and blog and sign up! yeah.

$5 challenge

Yeah my $5 studio 5 project made it to the facebook display! I wish it would have made the finals...but this is second best.

So it is a picture board, that you slide onto the rows. Top and bottom rows are landscape and middle is portrait. This was Stacey's Christmas present so I don't have a shot with the pictures actually on the board.

Christmas time in NYC

We found some great plane tickets to NYC and my Mom has been wanting to go for years...so we went.
Barton and I, Giz and Annie went to visit the Macy's Santa Claus, the waiting line was spectacular. It was decorated like the North Pole.

Here is Barton and Santa, too bad he's looking down :-(

Here is the Rockefeller tree, it was donated by a NY fireman from his property in upstate NY.

Here's the gang by the tree...and yep that's Dewey, he's home from Mexico. He got home late Saturday night and we flew out Wed night.

So this was cool. At Niagra Falls it was so cold that the mist from the falls froze on the trees.

Saturday Attire

Here's the boys Saturday attire, hope the tigers get a bowl this year.

1 year stats

Poor Barton got sick on the night of his birthday, so this is actually the morning after. However I don't think he'd know the difference :-)

At 12 months Barton was:

Length: 29", 25%

Weight: 21 lbs 3 oz, 25% (yay he can turn around in his car seat)

Head circ: 47.5 cm, 80% (Well Grandpa Barton did say that he had a 'Barton' head)

Teeth 11! (#12 came in 3 weeks after his birthday, hope we're done for a while)

Hair: Well maybe one of these days he'll start growing some.

Barton is now a proficient crawler, he gave up the army crawl at 10 months. He is also a very good supported walker, he can walk short distances by himself but is too scared to walk across the room alone. He loves to walk with the huggie box???

First Birthday Cake

Here is my first attempt at a birthday cake. It looks like an old David Brown, for you tractor folks out there. That's the tractor I first learned to bale hay on when I was 9.
