J turns ONE!!!!!

This was J's cake we ate on his actual birthday. We celebrated at home with our little family and J loved every little bit of it.. needless to say, we had all the neighborhood kids over the next day to finish off the cupcakes!!

J wanted a cupcake rather than his cake, so we let him dig in... not very smart for a child that had already taken a bath!!

This was J's birthday shirt he wore at his party. It wa sso cute, it had a number one on the front also!!

J playing with all the balloons before all the guests arrived!!

I can't believe I am even typing this, but my baby boy is already ONE!!! This first year has absolutely flown by. He has been such a great baby, little brother, and best friend to Taylor. We are blessed beyond words for such a happy, healthy little boy. He and Taylor are such great friends sometimes I have to just sit back and watch them while holding back my tears. They get a long so well and depend on each other so much. I knew my kids would be close, but never imagined they would be as close as they are at this age. J is walking everywhere nonstop, chasing his sister around the house, and laughing along the way. His favorite thing is to shake his head no at anything you say or ask him. He smiles all day long and keeps right along with his sister.
He is finally sleeping in his bed and pretty much through the night. He has to have an occasional bottle in the middle of the night, but takes it himself and goes back to sleep. He is an early to bed early to rise kind of guy!!
We has family and friends over for his birthday party and he loved it!! He laughed and clapped every time we sang Happy Birthday to him. I don't have any pics of his actual party because my camera died before it started. I hope to be able to post some soon.
Once again..... we are so blessed to have such an adorable, lovable, wonderful little boy..... and sweet, kind hearted, angel little girl!! God is so good to us!!
