FREE DOG

seriously he drives me insane.  No we won't get rid of him.  But just the fact that this post exists makes me a little more happy!

PICTURES

Today Jacob and I went to The Picture People and got his 1yr/Christmas picture taken.  Of course we spent waaaayyyy toooo much money, as daddy had to give mommy a lecture, but I then reassured him that we were now to the point in Jake's life that we would be doing once a year pictures.  Obviously snapshots will happen!  My hope is that if we have any money after buying our plane tickets to Ft. Myers for the end of March we will be able to get a new camera!  That is my hope!  But if not the one I have works and it takes good photos, I just really want a better zooming lens!  Anywho, hope you enjoy the pictures!  And I hope all of you are well!

BIRTHDAY!

My baby turned 1!!!  Wow-  it's mostly gone by quickly.  There were a couple weeks when he was teething  and the sleepless nights again that it was long.  But I surprisingly didn't cry at his birthday party.  It honestly was harder on me when he turned 10 months old than it did a year.  I think because at 10 months he was walking and already saying quite a lot (really acting like a toddler before he had too)  but now it's (for lack of a better word) appropriate for him to be doing these things.  We are done with the bottles!!!  That was the one thing I couldn't wait for to be done buying formula and not having bottles.  At his one year check up Jake weighed in at 25# 2 oz., 32 and 3/4 " tall.  He is a big man!  He didn't make as big of a mess that I had anticipated with his birthday cupcake (made and decorated by me thank you! - home made buttercream icing too)  actually for never having sweets before he ate it like he had one everyday of his life!  Crazy!  Well my big boy is wreaking havoc on something because it's quiet and the dog isn't in sight either so you know nothing good is happening!
