the birthday boy

My baby turned 1 on the 1st.  I know everyone says it about their kids, but truly, I cannot believe that he is one.  He was 2 months old when we moved to Arizona...can't believe how fast our first year has gone here too.

Jake woke up happy and excited about his presents.  I think he knew it was his special day because he was extra happy and giddy.  We got him some blocks and a wagon that goes with it and a Little Tykes basketball hoop.

He got a package in the mail from the Bowen's - Jake and the Never Land Pirates figurines.  I think Brooklyn enjoyed all the presents more, but Jake was excited about her excitement.

I love the excitement on his face in this picture :)

We were busy getting things ready for his party that night (next post) but Jake (and Brooklyn) were happy to play with his new toys. 

I take him to his 1-year appointment on Tuesday and will do a 12 month post on him with his stats after that.  I sure love this boy - he always puts a smile on my face and makes me so happy.  I'm so grateful that he is mine.
