New Pool Fence Just in Time

Crawling on the 4th of July, walking on Christmas!?!? Jack has chosen some key holidays to set milestones and took about 4 steps in a row on Christmas. Now he is up to about 7, not consistently but I think that we are on the verge.

Before Jack attends school, he must walk and drink from a sippy cup. That's a lot of pressure for someone who isn't even 13 months don't you think? He sippy cup straw skills are amazing and I think that we are close to calling him a walker. Next stop, bye bye binkie....LOL!

Thankfully the pool fence was installed today!

Party Pics!

The birthday party was a hit. Jack was up until almost 10:30 the night before, just 4 hours past his normal bedtime, and didn't nap at all the day of. I guess what they say is true, babies do know when something is up.

My homemade party decor!

I copied the yarn wrapped letters from etsy!

Nothing "bundt" the best cake ever! Chocolate of course.

Thanks to our great extended family for all of the help and successful turnout!

Let's go to the ZOo, me and you!

Travis took a day off last week for the three of us to celebrate Jack's birthday at the zoo. Jack's favorite part was the petting zoo. We think that he liked feeding the giraffe but it was hard to tell....

PS, he loved eating animal crackers at the zoo. I did too. Funny!

Happy Birthday Jack!

We love you and can't imagine life without you. Remembering back a year ago and the excitement and joy we felt when you arrived. Blessed!
