Birthday Boy

"Mmmmmm, my mom can bake!"
The Birthday Boy and his cake face!

My baby is 1. How sad is that? He woke up early this morning and I took him downstairs for breakfast with a quick stop at the couch to check the news and he fell asleep in my arms. That's a rarity for Jace, he usually fights sleeping unless he's got his blankey, his binky and his bed. I just held my sweet boy for a good 1/2 hour until big sister woke him. We had cake (which he called numma num) and presents (which he called DA cause he got a toy dog and noah and the ark set). Here are a few things about Jace to mark the occasion. Really probably boring, it's actually mostly for me.

He likes to kick off one sock and one shoe every time he sits in his high chair.

He will eat anything as long as it is covered in shredded cheese.

He loves to smile and has his daddy's huge grin.

He prefers walking.

He loves me to cuddle him and as soon as I flip him into the cradle hold his thumb goes right in his mouth. Actually he is quick enough to stick it in on the way down.

He loves dog and he barks.

He says, "doe tushhh" whenever mike and the remote are in the same vicinity.

If you lay down on the floor and loudly say "Ohh I am tired, Goodnight!" he will come and lay by

you and suck his thumb.

He adores Austin, plays doll house with Avery, and laughs with (at) Quinton.

His favorite place to be is tucked in Mike's arm when he is watering the lawn.

He loves to be outside.
