Happy 1st Birthday! (12 months)

Jack had a wonderful 1st birthday with 2 sets of Grandparents, one aunt, and loads of friends! His actual birthday (the 25th) was spent preparing for the big party on the 26th. The caterpillar themed party was a blast at the South Beach Harbor with burritos (from Papalote), a play tunnel, big bouncy balls, cupcakes, and even dry weather for some playground fun! Stay tuned for an album with all the photos later this week.

I thought I didn't like birthday hats, but this antenna get-up is worse!

Party Time! (11 months)

Jack & his friends from playgroup had a joint 1st birthday party today. Hard to believe they all met when they were only 2 months old! See all the party pics here.

Walking into 2008 (11 months)

Jack practiced his footwork while we were in MD & I think it is fair to say he is officially walking. He is also running, thanks to some help from Wheely Cow--a gift from Aunt Beth! Check out his new skills in this video that was taken about a week ago.
