Oh, how time flies. I cannot believe we have a one-year old.
On Friday night, I baked and baked and baked. First up, strawberry cake shaped like a basketball, this baked for 1 hour 20 minutes, yikes. Next up, chocolate mini cake for Jordan, this baked for 1 hour 10 minutes, yikes again. Last, chocolate cupcakes, 21 minutes, phew.
Saturday, morning I had a frosting fiasco! Between beating it for what seemed like forever and still never reaching the right consistency and coloring the frosting, that took about 3 hours. Note to self, black, terra cotta and red take LOTS of coloring. Next up, decorating. I figured this would take the longest, but I was wrong. Since I couldn’t get the frosting the correct consistency, I couldn’t make stars, so I just drew with the star tip. 1 large basketball, 1 small basketball and 12 baseballs later, my task was complete.
Sunday was great! We had a small, but nice party; Jordan got super nice gifts, thanks everyone; and we all had a blast. Among the nice gifts were a wagon, basketball hoop, t-ball set, trucks, clothes, a baseball mitt, a bubble machine and savings bonds. Thanks to everyone for the nice gifts and for coming down to celebrate with us. Jordan enjoyed the frosting on his cake, but wasn’t much for the actual cake part.
Monday, Jordan had his one-year checkup. 19 lbs, 27 ¾ inches – can we say RUNT! Oh well, I love my little runt. Next up, hemoglobin check since his iron was low at 9 months. If I get my hands on that phlebotomist, she will be one hurting unit! Let’s dig in a one-year old’s arm with a needle for 5 minutes while it takes two adults to hold him down. She never did get blood in the needle. Finally, I asked her to use his finger. Halloween Massacre! She is terrible and should never be allowed to touch an infant/toddler with a needle ever again. In the end his hemoglobin was perfectly normal and we are moving on towards our 15 month checkup.
