Happy Birthday Trout Shadrach Alford!

3lbs 15 oz


23lbs! TSA got his one year checkup yesterday and he's in the 55th percentile for his weight, 95th for his height of 33" AND 97TH for his big fat melon. All his developmental milestones are in line (crawling, trying to stand up, pincer fingers for the CHeerios, etc.) so today we get to party! Yeah! Feels like a huge milestone for me and Rose as well, getting him thru his first winter without getting sick, seeing his growth catch up to (and then surpass) his peers, seeing him so happy and interested in what's going on around him, very social. New challenges ahead (like daycare and that dreaded 1st cold) but now we're a bit more confident that he (and we) can handle it. Huge thank you to all the grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and cousins who helped us thru preganancy, the NICU and Trout's first year, nice work everyone!

Hey guys,

I hadn't checked your blog for awhile so it was a nice surprise to see it was TSA's b-day!!. Congrats on making it through the first year. Leah has an August b-day as well and just turned 5 on Sunday. Kindegarten here we come. Yikes! Anyways, keep on doing well and let us know if you're ever in the Ft. Collins neighborhood.

Jason, Dawn, Leah, Zoe, and Oakley
