Happy Birthday, Oliver!

As of 6:52am, Oliver has completed his first journey around the sun. He was born at home three days after his due date, and weighed in at 7 pounds, 5 ounces. I first announced his birth here, but never got around to sharing more photos of those first few hours/days.

Weebu still hanging out in utero on his due date:
39.5 weeks pregnant

Being attacked with kisses from the sibs

Sporting his first diaper (Thirsties cover + prefold)

Getting weighed the next day:
7 pounds, 5 ounces

Taking a nap in my arms (his kewpie curl has since been replaced with a mohawk of sorts XD)
Shhh...

Something I've done with all the Sprouts is take their picture on the exact moment of their birth each year. Since Oliver was born pretty early, I was hoping to get a photo of him peacefully asleep. However, I think he knew today was a special day as he was already bright-eyed and bushy-tailed...
Exactly 1 year old!

Happy Birthday, Weebu. I hope your second year on earth is twice as blessed as your first. I love you so much!
