I have a lot to share about Rex's 1st birthday and our nice visit with Rob's parents but I don't have a lot of time right now and I wanted to post this so bad. Rex had another big milestone besides the 1st birthday in the last few days. He also said his first word!
I have been trying to teach him to wave and whenever we are working on it, I always say, "bye bye" but I never intended for him to pick that up too! On Monday though he started waving and saying "bye bye" at the same time and he totally gets how to use it which is the part that just blows me away. When we try to get him to say "mama" and "dada" (and he can make those sounds), he just points at us. It is cool that he knows who we are but I wish he would say it instead of just pointing! But this bye bye thing is a lot of fun too.

Birthday Preparations
I have been meaning to order Rex's birthday cake for a few days now and it finally made on to my must-do-today list. Luckily, sometimes procrastinating pays off. While I was feeding Rex his lunch, I remembered about this little purchase I made.
I bought this dinosaur cake pan months ago to use for all his birthdays. He may not want another dinosaur cake when he turns 15, but he is going to get one just like he did on the previous 14 birthdays! I took a cake decorating class once upon a time and I did not enjoy it so it will be interesting to see how this all turns out and if you can even tell it is a dinosaur. Rex and I ventured out to Target today for a few items which included some birthday decorations and plates. I wanted to get him a special first birthday t-shirt but waited too long. Procrastination came in handy again for me though- Rob reminded me that we have the iron-on sheets that go in the printer and I can make Rex's shirt myself. Now I just need to pick up a few more presents for him and we will be all ready for Rex's first birthday on Saturday.
It's been raining here quite a bit lately and Rex and I have been either missing some of our walks or getting sprinkled on during them (we go on 2 a day), neither is very fun. We took some pictures this morning while we were waiting for a little shower to pass.

It Worked!
After many attempts, I have managed to post a video of Rex from yesterday. He was playing in his jumperoo while I was flipping through a cookbook. One recipe I came across sounded disgusting so I made a face and said "blech" and he thought that was so funny. I kept doing it for him and he just kept laughing and laughing.
I still can't get any videos on Flickr. I had to drag out my old camera and take the video on it. When I shoot video with my new camera and my video camera, I can't seem to get them uploaded no matter what I try. Not that this one was easy either but at least I finally managed to get it uploaded here. I will continue to try getting videos on Flickr but we'll see.
We have been fairly busy lately and not well, hence the lack of posts. I had what the doctors think was shingles- it started about 2 weeks ago. Thursday morning I noticed a rash on my neck and face. It wasn't too bad but not so attractive either. I was really dizzy too. When I went to the doctor the next morning, I had a fever. She put me on one of the world's most expensive medications and it went away. Shingles on your face is one of the least likely places to get it and the worst place since it can cause complications with one's vision. My vision was not affected at all and I was glad to see the rash go. Not too much happened around here for a week and keeping up with Rex was about all I could manage. This past week, I have been trying to get caught up with my cleaning and chores. Yay. Now that I am, I finally have a few minutes to work on the blog.
We have a lot of family visiting during June and July and the first ones get here next Thursday. I need to get things ready for them and I need to take care of arrangements for Rex's first birthday next Saturday. I am still not having a party for him but I need to get him a few more presents and order a little birthday cake for him to destroy. He'll probably like the cake- he doesn't seem to like much else we give him though. We are trying to give him more food like we eat and not so much baby food but he does not want hardly any of it. Sweet things though usually do just fine for some reason...
