Jack has started walking. He took his very first 2 steps last Monday night and ever since he wasn't too crazy about doing it again. I think we might have scared him a little with all the jumping up & down that we did and kissing and hugging him. I am so happy he decided to give it another try though, maybe he realized that mommy and daddy and just a little crazy!
Wednesday night we gave him a bear to hold and tried to get him to walk between us (the bear so he wouldn't have his hands to throw right on the ground) and he did, he took maybe 4-5 steps between us twice. Again we jumped up and down and acted like fools but luckily this time it didn't scar him. Last night he walked all over the living room from one person to the next. It was so exciting!!! He is far from walking full time and still has to be encouraged to do it at all, won't do it on his own yet, but it's definitely a start.
We are so so proud of our little man!!!!! Here is a video from last night:

Great Giveaway...sooo cute!!!
While I was pregnant I would frequent a website called thebump.com and met some really nice girls. A lot of us have since become very friendly and we talk through there, facebook, our blogs & sometimes even on the phone, lol!
A few of the girls are extremely talented too and have taken the things that they like for their children and come up with some cool stuff themselves. One of the girls who we call "Southern" made the most adorable little gummie dolls for girls & boys. These dolls have different fabrics and patterns and the kiddies seem to love them. She is doing a great giveaway now and I could only hope that Jack will be the lucky winner of a little boy gummie doll!
Please check out her blog and also her Etsy shop, she is so super talented, you will love her stuff!!!

Houston...We Have a 1 Year Old!!!
Ok, ok, I'm a little late but keeping up with an almost walking TODDLER is not easy these days!
I have done so much thinking this past week. I remember holding Jack for the very first time and looking in to those sweet innocent little eyes and thinking that I didn't want to blink because I didn't want to miss any second of this amazing baby's life. Now, here we are a year later and he's a toddler already! I feel like I blinked and the time just flew past me.
I miss that little itty bitty baby so much, but Jack is so much more fun now! He gives hugs & kisses (ok, so they are open mouth & sometimes biting kisses, but kisses none the less), gives the biggest cheesiest smiles and is just hilarious when he is chanting Daddy...yep, you read right chanting! Joe thought it would be cute to teach Jack to chant daddy and now he does it 85% of the day!
On to the birthday celebrations. Jack's birthday was last Friday 6/12. We were trying to think of what we could do with a 1 year old that might be a little fun for him. I thought that maybe we could bring him to the mall by us since it has a carousel & a ferris wheel. I thought that would be fun for him but daddy thought Chuck E Cheese would be more fun...not so much though.
Before we did that though, we took Jack for his very first haircut and then we went to IHOP for breakfast. He loves all the waitresses there (we go about once a week) and so as soon as we walking & sit down they talk to him & he hams it up. He was wearing a shirt that said 'Birthday Boy' and so before we left the ladies brought over a bowl of ice cream & whipped cream with a candle in it & they sang happy birthday to him it, it was so sweet! After his afternoon nap we went to Chuck E Cheese and Jack just wasn't a huge fan, maybe next year it will be better.
Saturday was his birthday party and it was so much fun! We had family & friends at a nearby restaurant party room and even Elmo came & paid Jack a birthday visit :o) He had such a good time and so did we. We are so happy everyone who made it could and Jack got a lot of great gifts too.
Here are some more pictures from the weekend:
'til next time :o)

In Denial!
So, our little monkey will be 1 next week...WHAT?!?! How did this happen? Where has the time gone? How can I go back to it?
Our little monster is so awesome these days and really just on the cusp of walking, which I will be the first to admit, scares the crap out of me! How did I go from having a baby to having a toddler in what seems like the blink of an eye?!
Oh well, I guess it is going to happen no matter how much I try to make it stop. In the meantime we are 9 days away from a birthday and 10 days away from a party :o) Party planning is almost complete, I am going to order his cake today (the big one for the guests) and then try and finalize with the restaurant tomorrow or Friday.
Oh boy...my next post will probably be THE BIRTHDAY post! In the meantime, let's reminisce a little about when our peanut was actually just a little peanut!
