My little boy turned 1 year old yesterday. He had a wonderful birthday despite having a fever of 104.2 the night before. Both sets of grandparents and his aunt and uncle Sue and Karl were there to celebrate. He received a giant ball pit with 300 balls from Sue and Karl, a Busy ball Popper and Laptop from Grandma and Granpda Hajek and a Radio and some blocks from Grandma and Grandpa Buckheister.

I can't believe my little boy is already 1 year old. This has been such a wonderful year with Slade that I almost don't want him to grow up anymore. The first few days started off a little scary while he was in the NICU and the last week ended a little scary as well. Slade started to get a high fever New Years Eve night and spent most of the 1st and 2nd lounging around the house with Mommy and Daddy! He bounced back nicely and spent his birthday with family!

Below are some pictures of his big day.
