Jay's birthday day!
He started off the day very grouchy! Grandma said, "Well, he came into the world that way, he wants to celebrate his birthday that way!" lol
Aunt Brooke, Marlee and Grandma B made a surprise visit to celebrate with Jay!
We had a picnic lunch up at first damn and fed the ducks, which Jay absolutely loves
The geese at this place are crazy and super loud! Marlee and Jay weren't sure what to think.
Gripping his Dad with his life lol
(don't mind the meltdown in the background...that's a regular around here! lol)
Jay enjoying his visitors :)
For the other's 1st birthday's I have always made cupcakes from the box and they take one bite and throw it, soooo this year I wanted to make some lemon ones from scratch. Here's my cute little sous-chef Marlee :)
And some how (maybe from my helper scooping flour out of the bowl lol) the cupcakes sank, so I made some boxed ones with blue frosting too
After a long nap we had Jay's favorite for dinner- rotisserie chicken. He is so funny he only likes it if it's rotisserie and it's the only meat he will eat right now. He just grabs the drumstick and eats til there is nothing left. So adorable.
Then it was off to big brother Scott's freezing cold soccer game, then we were ready for the party!
Saddest thing ever....so after Scott and Hailey helped him blow out his candle he was soooo excited for the cupcake he grabbed the top of it while the candle was still hot.
So he wasn't so happy about that!
Big brother Scott was so sweet showing him that it was okay :(
As soon as he got a bite, all was happy and cheerful again
Ate the entire cupcake and then had another of course! :)
I just sat next to him and watched him enjoy his little cupcakes. So adorable!
Then it was time for presents
He loves balls so he got a bunch of those, and some much needed outfits too
One of the presents from Grandma and Grandpa B was this sweet book that has a recording of them reading it to him! So cool!
Aunt Bre got him this walk along and he wasted no time practicing on that!
He's not walking yet, but now that he gets to practice I'm sure it won't be long. He has already ditched his knees while crawling and just has his legs straight with his bum in the air.
I can't believe my little baby is already one year old! It's an exciting time for sure, but it makes me a little sad too.
He loves playing with all things around the house like pots and pans and just walking along opening up drawers and cupboards and the like. He loves balls too as I mentioned, and can already throw a ball and play catch. He also loves to be outside and get rides in the john deere from Hailey and loves being pushed around by anyone. He loves bath time too!
He is sleeping from 7:30ish until usually 7ish (although he has been going through a 5 am stage the past week)
He is my cuddle bug and is so sweet he is always trying to give kisses and snuggle.
Such a sweet little boy! I have said it since he was born and I still feel the same way today and that is that he was sent straight from heaven, he is just an angel!
We love you buddy! Happy Birthday!
