13 months!!

Our boy is learning so much this past month! It amazes me how quickly he is starting to catch onto things. We are working on sign language (Jack still has no real words yet..) So far he is using "please, more, wash" regularly. Today he tried to put on his own shoes, and yesterday he took the watering pail and marched it over to the faucet and then walked back to my flowers as if he were going to water them. (Mind BLOWN!) 

He still eats everything and anything in site. We haven't given him anything that he really refuses- yay for a good eater! However, he absolutely hates milk of any kind. I've tried EVERYTHING. Whole, lactose free, almond, soy, coconut... Nothing. He gets lots of yogurt and cheese and green veggies to make up for it. 

Love him to pieces, he is my joy! 

The big ONE!

We celebrated Jack's first birthday on Sunday. I sound like a broken record all the time with the, "I can't believe he is really this old" stuff. BUT I JUST CAN'T!!!  Having him in our life makes everything so much better. We love being parents to our crazy baby.

Taco bar... or supposed to be a Taco Bar!

 I'm not sure what he is doing in this picture, but I love that you can see his big ol' teeth. Those things kill me. 

 I love my family so much!

 And excuse all these cake eating pictures..I just really love his confused/concerned face. What is this? And how do I devour it?

 Mom, are you sure I should be eating this??

Oh yes - yes, I should! He would have eaten the whole thing if we left him. After this he starting putting his whole face down into it. My OCD took over and I stopped taking pictures to clean him.

Opening presents! He is a pro at this, ripping everything apart in seconds.

We are so lucky to have such great neighbors and friends! Jack was beyond spoiled.

We love you big boy! Now, stop growing up so fast. :)
