Fun with Grandmas and other family

This is mostly just pictures.  We were Hotel Ferrin/Wallace this weekend, with Enid, William, Barb and Ellen all staying with us.  It was definitely a full house, but it was a lot of fun.  And I would never have been ready for the party if Barb, Ellen and Enid hadn't helped - thank goodness for the three of them!

Both Grandmas took every opportunity to jump on the floor and watch Jayden while I ran around like a crazy person.  I was so proud of him - he was much less scared than before and much more sociable.  He smiled at Enid, let her hold him and even had a giggle-fest with her this morning before she left.  It makes it such a better visit for everyone when he gets used to his Grandmas.

Just a few fun pictures:

A few pictures from the party I forgot to post in the last one: Gavin trying to kiss Jayden and Jayden rejecting it.  Later on Jayden would try to kiss back but Gavin was way too fast for Jayden!

Goodbye Auntie Ellen!  I'm not going to smile for anything if I can help it.

Grandma, thanks for keeping me company on the most ridiculously hot day EVER!

Turns out my favorite new toy is the fly swatter!  I learned I can  swat Jasmine with it.  Although when I do that, it seems like Jasmine always gets up and runs away - funny.

Grandma showing Jayden a video of her and him on William's phone.  Jayden is obsessed with cell phones, so  he'd stare at that thing for hours if we let him!

Poor baby had to get FOUR shots today at his one year appointment.  Needless to say he was not happy later.  In fact, he was so unhappy he felt the need to hold one toy in each hand throughout dinner, meaning I had to feed him just about everything.

Grandma Barb is super talented - this is Jayden's homemade birthday cake - so great, and with no cake decorating tool thingy.

Today was Jayden's one year check-up.  He is officially 31-3/8" tall/long, which is in the 90 to 95th percentile.  Crazy mom that I am, I was mostly disappointed that he dropped from the 97th to the 90-95th percentile in length/height.  I decided it just means he's due for a growth spurt (lucky us!).  He weighs 22 pounds, 2 ounces, which is in the 40th percentile.  The doctor was very happy with his progress, rebounding back from the 25th percentile disaster that was four months.
His head circumference is 48 centemeters; I have no idea what percentile that is, but it seems big.

Finally, with those four shots that Jayden got today came a whole bunch of fussiness.  He had a 102 degree fever when he was going to bed.  I gave him some medicine and I am going to go take his temperature before I go to bed.  So long as it's stable or dropping, we'll be fine.  If it's gone up, well, expect a report on our trip to urgent care on tomorrow's blog!  I'm anticipating that he'll be fine, that the fever is just a result of the shots and that it'll break tonight or tomorrow.  But I'm not going to like leaving him at daycare if he still has a fever.  Ugh.  Think positive (cool) thoughts for Jayden, please.
