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)
