However, Gib did get to see "his" parade (the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade) for the first time.
And he celebrated with proper frosting face several days later.
And did I mention the teething? He got his first tooth right before his first birthday and his second soon after. For the record: bottom right incisor on Friday, March 14 and top right incisor on Friday, March 21.
Gib's one-year checkup followed shortly thereafter, with stunning results:
Length: 30.75 inches, in the 85th percentile
Weight: 22.5 pounds, in the 50th percentile
Head circumference: 19 inches, in the 90th percentile
Also, he's a cutie.
Happy birthday, Little Man.
