What a great collection of photographs during the 1st year. It's so hard to just pick a few. ;) I love the dragon one especially, he looks so happy.

Happy Birthday Ty...I too am celebrating my little girl growing up on this day. It's amazing how quickly they grow when it seems like just yesterday....

He's definitely gotten more fun over the last year, and I'm sure more fun is to come. Thanks!

Thanks Bill! We probably had them at the same hospital too (Bill and I live near each other - we just learned that a few weeks ago).

Thanks Matt! Yeah, I don't ever think about that experience any more because Ty is so healthy now. They send us invitations to come to annual parties and stuff, but we don't do that either. Kind of like, once you're out, you don't want to go back. I like the helmet and tackling dummy idea, although I think I'm the dummy that he likes to tackle most!

Man, I hope so! I'd love for him to play football!

Zane looks healthy to me, but don't you have a hard time putting on weight too?

Every time I pick him up, it's like I have to kiss his cheeks. But, if you're a biter, well, go for it! He may whack you with a toy though, so be careful!

I don't know - he loves to wear them for months, even after Christmas. So, we better get something good!

I know that's one of my favorites too!

He only weighed 7lb 7oz, but he came about a month early. After he was a month old (near his actual due date), he was already over 10lbs. He's been in the 98+ percentile for weight and height ever since. Congratulations! And, Sorry! I bet you wish she would have come a week or two earlier!

Happy Birthday Ty! He's going to be a lot of fun as he gets older and gets into more stuff, no doubt about it.

All three of my sons came home with that same blanket! Well, three different ones, but all the same nonetheless.

Happy birthday, happy boy!

Cute, man.

Awesome...Happy birthday to Ty! My daughter Frankie spent a month-and-a-half in the NICU as well...not an experience we love to reflect back on, even though it is an important part of our lives. Its fantastic to see him doing so well...makes it easy to forget how it all started, doesn't it? Hope he has a great birthday. The head thing IS normal, Frankie did it for a while. Maybe, considering his stature, you should just get him a football helmet and tackling dummy from now and turn it into a positive! Missed the draft this year, but considering my team's (Rams) schedule this year, they'll probably have the first round pick next year, and will surely be looking for a hard hitting MLB, or maybe a strong blocking fullback.

Happy Birthday Ty!

And wow, he does resemble a little linebacker. Perhaps a lucrative NFL contract will be in his future.

Zane is the opposite. Despite a healthy appetite, he's a skinny kid like I was.

Did he tell you he wants me to bite his cheeks? Because he does.
