Birthday Boy!!!

Where has the last year gone? It's gone by so fast. My baby is growing from a baby into a little boy. He's walking, making more 'talking' sounds, and we can see more of his personality developing. He's so funny sometimes. Jason and I say all the time, "he's so cute! Does everyone think that about their own kid?" We're hopelessly in love with this small human being.

We celebrated Jacob's birthday this past Saturday with family and some friends. I didn't know how he'd react, but when we all sang Happy Birthday he lit up and smiled like he knew exactly what we were saying. Since Jacob loves his stuffed Curious George so much, I used the Curious George decor. It turned out really cute. My friend Stephanie made the cutest cake. (Sorry, Stephanie, the cake shifted in transit, but it still looked good.) Thank you to her for all her hard work!!! I got him a 'play' cake, one he could dig in for himself. Again, I didn't know how he'd do with that, but he acted like a real pro! He dug in and had icing all over. At one point he was beating the cake like a drum! Icing was flying everywhere. I had to put him in the tub to get it all off. His fingers were purple for a while after.
