Happy Birthday Jack!

My baby is 1 today! What a blessing he is to our family! One year ago today we were at Abilene Regional Hospital getting to know our Jack. He was a big baby! He was born around 12:30am, and I remember right after he was born Steve went with him to get his first bath and be evaluated, and I just slept and slept!

Jack has been a wonderful baby. Here's what he's up to now (mostly for my own benefit as I've not been so good about filling in his baby book):

- He hasn't been to the doctor for his 1 year baby appointment yet, but my guess is that he weighs about 26 pounds.

- He's pulling himself up to standing, but not quite brave enough to walk around.

- He waives hi and bye.

- He has two teeth, both on the bottom (had his first tooth at 10 1/2 months)

- He says, "Mama, Dada, Nana, Baba," and screeches like a raptor.

- If it was his decision he wouldn't wear any clothes at all...including a diaper

- For now, he LOVES his sister! She can make him laugh like no one else!

- He has a first crush...Aunt Diane!

- He's eating about 8 jars of baby food a day, but HATES the #3's with texture. He'd rather just have small bites of cheese, chicken, fruit, etc.

- He doesn't need nearly as much sleep as Isabella did at this age.

- He really is laid back, but has his opinions on a few things including, the warmth of his milk, and which stroller he likes to ride in (Maclaren)

- He loves anything with wheels

- Most of all...HE'S ALL BOY! :)
