How terrible is it that I haven't written a blog post about my baby's 1st Birthday?!? It's the last time I'll ever throw a 1st Birthday party. Maybe I'm stalling because it makes me a little sad... But just a little. So here are the highlights of Jacob turning one!
- We got to celebrate his Birthday with family and friends, and it was very relaxed. Saturday evening we had a few families over that we're close to here, and Jacob had his Grandma, Nana, and Pa in town to love and hug on him. Jordan helped me make his cake and cupcakes, which turned out super cute and were super easy to do. No stressing over a Wilton cake pan this time! No freakin' tiny stars to pipe over a pattern I can't see through the base coat.
- Jacob's Birthday seemed to last all weekend. We did the party Saturday, presents and Halloween on Sunday, and then Monday was his real Birthday.
- Jacob LOVE LOVE LOVES his toys. He's got them all figured out, knows which buttons to push, how to turn them on, how to open and shut little compartments. He's a toy boy. ;-)
- Jacob must know he's one now and think it's time to step it up. He's pulling up to his feet, pointing at everything to ask what it is and to go see it, and has almost completely given up the army crawl for a real crawl. Oh, and he wants to eat everything in sight. He'll try anything. He likes whole milk, learned to drink from a straw-type cup right away, and even wants to hold the cup by himself. He's made all of these changes in the last week. He's on a roll.
I'm thankful for his fall birthday, which means he'll be home with me an extra year. But I know there will be many days that I wish he could just stay little. He's just such a precious baby!
