Just a little stat comparison to marvel at what miracles abound in the human body:
Weight at birth: 5 lbs 13 oz - 3.29 percentile
Weight at 1: 22.24 lbs - 42.23 percentile
Length at birth: 19 inches - 6.35 percentile
Length at 1: 31 inches - 85.58 percentile
Head circumference at birth: 13 inches - 3.33 percentile
Head circumference at 1: 18.5 inches - 69.13 percentile
I talked to a woman at work yesterday who had been a NICU nurse for 35 years, and I have to admit I got a little teary eyed when I told her of my own experience with the wonderful nurses at St Marks who took such good care of my little guy. Man, what a difference a year makes! I'm no longer fretting to make sure he gets his 30 cc of milk per feeding but am running defense for all things 3 feet high and below!!! He is a pleasure and a half and 100% rough-and-tumble boy. Heaven help us in year two!!!!

Yay, you are back! He sure is a cute little guy. Year one to two is so fun as they start to talk and interact more. He will become your favorite little buddy!
Molly Bay, he is so cute. Can you believe how fast a year goes??
Oh! He's such a growed up.
We love that Burger! He is not at our house often enough. Bring him over more so I can be the favorite aunt!
So came across your blog and had no idea you had one. Your little man is so cute! I heard McKay is coming to visit us in October.
Our blog is set to private, but if you'd like to see it send me your email and I'll send you the invite. Good to see you guys are doing well!
