First Birthday

It is hard to believe that Jake is already 1 year old. It is truly amazing how much change and development has occurred with Jake this year. A year ago we came home with this beautiful baby boy who couldn’t even hold his own head up. Then a year later he is even more beautiful, walking, eating real food (we still haven’t found a food he doesn’t like), and “talking” up a storm. Jake enjoyed his birthday despite having an ear infection in both ears. Then on his actual birthday he got sent home from daycare because he had a temp of 102. He had been on medication for a few days so it was surprise. He ended up having a virus on top of the ear infection. Don’t worry he was still able to eat left over cake from the party on his real birthday despite having a virus. I guess nothing can keep Jake from his food. Jake received tons of presents for his birthday and we may need to build an addition due to the amount of gifts he got (I can only imagine what Christmas is going to be like). We are so lucky to have such caring, thoughtful, and generous family members and friends! I will have to edit the video of him eating his cake but alas I have some house work and school work to do first. So stay tuned for the video.
Oh yeah, note to self and any other mothers, red frosting is not a good choice for a one year olds birthday cake.
