It was a fun weekend as we celebrated Jake's first birthday.
He turned one on Thursday - I brought a giant mylar balloon shaped as the number 1.
The balloon is as tall as Jake (30 inches) Jake enjoyed slobbering and rolling over the balloon.
Later that evening we celebrated by opening two presents.
And having a little ice cream after dinner.
On Saturday we went to Great-Grandma Fereday's (or GG as she likes to be called) and had spagehtti dinner with chocolate cake for desert.
We sang Jake, "Happy Birthday" and had him (grandma mortensen) blow out a candle.
He liked the cake - but didn't dive in face first. He only ate it if we gave it to him and he seemed not to like having his hands dirty.
Jake continues to keep us in stitches and surprise us. He has a great sense of humor. He's very patient - he let the pediatrician look at his ears and eye with minimal fuss. The doc was suprised he was so complient.
Jake l0ves to rough house, and crawl up behind grandma or I and grab onto us. He will throw a tantrum if he doesn't get something he wants but he is easily distracted. He is learning out to give kisses and he hates bed time.
He calls all animals kitty. He has said car and hand but I think he was mimicking me and I haven't seen any solid word association. I have made a goal to read 3 books to him a night to help boost his vocabulary. I haven't been diligent about reading to him in the past.
