Happy Birthday, Mark!

On November 20, Mark turned one. It is still, even a week later, hard for me to believe. In so many ways, it feels like we were just in Germany waiting for him to arrive and then getting ready to bring him home. (I still can't believe he was born in Germany, either!) He's just the happiest little guy. He's very sociable and friendly, totally different from Gianna. Last Sunday at church, we went back the vestibule where other people with restless children were sitting and standing around. And Mark went around and shook all of their hands and smiled and waved at everyone.

He had a nice first birthday. Just a little cake and a present on the day and then he got presents from his grandparents later in the week. He wasn't too excited about the cake, but he did eat and wear some of it. And he LOVED the helicopter we got for him.


Last but not least, here are the big boy's stats.
Weight: 25 lbs, 3 oz (90th percentile)
Height: 32 inches (95 percentile)

Love the cake face even if it's not his usual sweet, smiley face.
