Happy Birthday Jakie!

Posted by Alyssa

Jake is 1 year old already, where does time go?!? We celebrated his birthday a couple days after his actual birth date, which wasn't such a great idea. The poor guy had shots that day, was teething, and running a temperature. He wasn't his normal, happy self, which didn't make singing, cake time, and opening presents that fun for him. Luckily we had another small celebration at my parents a couple days later so he could actually dive into his own cake with our tradition and was back to his normal self. At the moment, I don't have those pictures, but I'll post a picture later with his birthday cake and SMILING! This one of him and my mom is the only one where he's smiling at his party while watching Connor swim. Jakie is such a total sweetheart and cuddlebug. He has the cutest smile with his 2 little buck teeth and is always sharing it with everyone. He can sing the tune "clean up" when we're cleaning up, he makes high pitch barking noises when he sees a dog, he walked at 11 months, loves to clap his hands and get your "yay!" reply, dances to music by shaking his head back and forth, is a total water baby, and loves to be outside. Connor isn't always nice to him or share toys, but Jake can sure hold his own and stick up for himself. We're so lucky to have this happy little guy in our family, we love you Jakie boy!

Thanks Leah! Judging from the fact you're the only one that leaves comments, I think you're the only one that reads my blog! It's great to have one reader! :-) Can't wait to see you next month!

You stand corrected daughter dear.....grandma Colvin reads the blog faithfully-she just doesn't leave comments, just like she never leaves msgs on telephones!
