A First Birthday










Jacksen turned 1 at the end of September but of course I am 4 months late blogging it! In the morning we opened presents so he would have new toys to play with throughout the day and when daddy finally came home from work we sang Happy Birthday and enjoyed Jack Skellington (from a Nightmare Before Christmas) cupcakes. A few things about our sweet Jack:

-He is my little lightweight. At 1 he only weighed 17 lbs. He just finally reached the 20 lb mark
-He is so sweet and laidback. Few things really tick this boy off!
-He got his first tooth just before he turned 8 months and by 1 he already had 6 teeth filling that cute mouth!
-He sat up at 8 months, took his sweet time.
-He started crawling at 11 months, again taking his sweet time!
-He is obsessed with his dad. Anytime he finds my phone he brings it over to me saying dadadada because he always wants to call his dad.
-He loves our basement (which I can't stand since it's always so cold) and going on the bouncy house. He is always requesting to bou bou bou!
-Favorite foods include strawberries, bananas, sweet potato fries and chicken nuggets. Hooray we finally have an eater!

P.S. His hair looks so funny because Jason attempted to give Jack his first haircut a few weeks before his birthday. Cookie Cutters has gained another little customer!

He loves Muno, Brobee, Tutti & Foofa!




Since this little guy started walking, not much can keep him still. Except my secret weapon, Yo Gabba Gabba! When I need a few minutes to unload and load the dishwasher, without a baby playing in it, I settle him on the couch with his blankie and there he stays almost the entire episode. How cute does he look?! I just hope he doesn't become a TV addict like his brother...
