HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY JACKSON!!

We made it. One year. He's bigger, badder, and better than ever!

Here's the stats:
  • 22 lbs 10 oz (46%) and 30 inches tall (56%) with a really big head (99%)
  • Working that walk into a toddly, wobbly run
  • Started blowing raspberries, waving bye-bye, giving high-fives, stomping feet in excitement and for tantrums
  • On cow's milk full-time
  • Eats pretty well for most meals, though dinner is usually a tired battle
  • Still - yes still - waking once a night
  • LOVES being outside, swinging, climbing, music, balloons
  • HATES getting his hair washed, being dragged around by Kate, and being told No
Jack's birthday was a weekday, so the kids went to school, but we picked them up early and headed to a local playground we'd never been to before to play...

Then the handsome birthday boy opened cards and presents back at home...
and of course ended the night with some cake (well, icing)!
...and then a bath, as you see he ended up iced in blue just like his cake, and the hair needed a bit of a washing!
A birthday well spent! Happy Birthday little man, we love you!

A silly duo...




Katie-Bug...




Our little Jack-Jack...









Happy Birthday Daddy!


Finally...rounding out January!

"Am I really gonna do this?!?!"
Oh yes. She did. We got one bout of snow around here all winter, and we sent our daughter out in it - in her nightgown - to grab the paper! (oh stop, she loved it!)
Beauty and the Beast 3D!!!

Banana boy!
Daddy gives Kate her first tree-stand experience at Uncle Darryl's...
Wheee!
Total boy, loving the outdoors...

Jack's 11 months old!

January...


2012 began with a new 'do for Jack. This was his 2nd haircut of 3 in his first year! This time we took it outside, but he didn't love it any more that way...
And we were able to bring the Mom/Baby group together once again at our house which was fun, until all the crawling babies began toppling over, under, and into things in our playroom - naptime concludes all baby days!
Doesn't he look handsome with his buzz?
He sure thinks so...lil flirt


I still love taking pics of Kate sleeping...because the wee one just doesn't do much of it at night...and we rarely ever venture into his room to see him sleeping for fear of disturbing any slumber he gets!

TOUCHDOWN!
