Our precious little boy is celebrating his first birthday today!
He wanted to go to Chick-fil-A for lunch (well, his brother did) where he received a special birthday balloon, mini-moo and coupon for a free ice dream. This evening we will have a small family dinner celebration at our house.
At 1 year old, Jacob is:
*Walking everywhere and getting very good at it.
*Eating like a champ which isn't really a new development. But, we have transitioned him to eating everything we eat. In the past couple of weeks he has tried (and loved) baked beans, chicken, sloppy joes, tater tots, lasagna, risotto and tilapia. He is also drinking whole milk.
*Still getting into everything. The shelves are bare and the floor is littered. Daddy, Joseph & Mama spend quite a bit of their time putting magnets back on the fridge and books/puzzles back on the shelves.
*An early bird. He goes to bed at 8 pm and wakes up between 4 and 5 am almost every morning. Every once in awhile he'll surprise us and sleep until 6:30. Of course, once he has his milk and is snuggled on the couch with mama, he usually catches another little snooze. He's not much of a snuggler otherwise so Mama kind of enjoys those early morning snuggle times.
*A big fan of his big brother. Jacob follows Joseph everywhere and thinks he's pretty awesome. The feeling is mutual. Joseph loves to make Jacob giggle and Jacob loves the attention. They are beginning to have a lot of fun - especially in the evenings when they chase each other around the ottoman.
We can't believe that we've had this sweet little boy in our family for a year already. His little personality is starting to shine through and, as all parents know, it's the most amazing thing to watch. We love our darling Jacob!
