Jack's first birthday and cake!

This week we celebrated a huge milestone in Jack's life (and let's be honest, his parents' lives as well). We all made it a year. All of those late nights and early mornings early on have paid off in droves for the three of us.

Last August, we knew of parenting from books and friends, but it's a whole new ballgame truly living that life day in and day out. Jack has grown so much and still astounds us every day with how much he's learning and growing. It's funny to think back on some of the mini-milestones throughout the year and now looking back and remembering how excited we were that he was able to push himself up to a crawling position. Now he's running all over the house, chasing the cat and dog!

We also celebrated the first time Jack had sugar as he got to enjoy his smash cake. He is Jay's son after all, so it's no surprise he dove in like a champ. On his birthday, Gina got him a cake to prep for the coming weekend party and get his first taste of chocolate. He loved it, and made bathtime that night especially fun.

Jack began the evening with his tribute to Mickey Mouse (but the ears didn't last long)

"Hey dad, is there any more?"


"Thank you for the yummy cake mommy!"

Save the date!!!!

I promised myself that I was not going to start planning Jack's first birthday till July.

I really tried.

I promise.

I really tried to ban all birthday thoughts out of my head.

It didn't work.

Soooooo, save the date. Jacks first birthday will be August 13, 2011!!!

Can you believe it that he'll be 1 in such a short time? Time really does fly.

I don't remember my birthdays taking such short time.

And yes, becuase it's me, I'll probably go overboard.
