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...

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!)

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