Dimitri's Birthday

 I don't know where my year went! it seems like he was just barely born. He is hitting so many milestones  and mom and dad couldn't be prouder! He learned how to walk two weeks before his first birthday and hasn't stopped since! He is a climber though.......Tavan didn't really climb much but Dimitri is EVERYWHERE! He also is a very tough boy. He is very much like Tavan in the fact that he loves to sleep in his crib and his crib only! I guess he is over his "cuddles" stage. Dimitri is so much fun and all of us are so happy to have him as part of our family. if you ask Tavan if he loves his brother he will reply "yes, cause he is super cute and my best friend". I love how they love each other :)

For Dimitri's party we did a dinosaur theme and I had planned for it to be at the park, but mother nature had other plans.....so i quickly changed gears and planned it at our home. we had lots of family over to celebrate!

Happy Birthday Dimitri!

Best buds!

They do everything together and giggle all the time

Dimitri's all time favorite activity...EATING! some days i wonder how i am going to feed these boys when the get older. Both eat non stop and anytime I leave them with a sitter I get told "your boys are such good eaters" or "my word they eat".....i'm never sure how to take that....but for now i just be sure to pack lots of food for them to eat. 

Friday after Dimitri's birthday we took him in for his year old check up. His head size is still quite a way off the chart but is slowly coming down to a more "normal" size. Maybe one day he will grow into his head. He was in the 85 percentile for his weight  and his height is in the 75th. He is our big boy! Tavan was much smaller at this stage  and right now there is only a  7 lbs. difference in the twos weight..... Dimitri took his shots like a champ! He cried like expected but the sucker afterwords made up for it. Tavan was so cute during the process (he knew what was happening) He held Dimitri's hand and lovingly patted his head while repeating "its OK Loo (Dimitri's nickname), I know it hurts, don't be afraid, I'm right here, we are almost done, i love you"....melts my heart :) Tavan is a phenomenal big brother. Yes he still does not like when Dimitri plays with his toys and gets frustrated with him and pushes him down quite a bit, but he loves Dimitri so much and I am so excited to watch their relationship grow even more!
