Eric's milestone's and major events of his first year...

OK, I wanted to do this before his birthday, but I have no idea where the time went! So, I've dug out last year's calendar, with what I hope to have written down Eric's milestones and any major events. I'm not including appoinments or when he spit up/pulled out his n-g tube, that would take way too long!
