Jack is ONE!!!

Our little man turned one year old today! Where has the past year gone?! Seems like just yesterday we were bringing him home. Jack is our sweet, laid back, easygoing little baby. He has brought us so much joy this past year!! He weighs 24 pounds now and is so content to cruise around the house exploring everything! He has 2 lower teeth and is working on two more on the top. He is already trying to keep up with Drew and wants to do everything big brother does. He is starting to walk more and more, and is speedy fast when he crawls. His favorite thing is, of course, the stairs. He says mama, dada, duh (for dog and Drew, I think!), and uh-oh. He can also wave bye-bye and hi and just tonight started giving Great Grandpa Spotts five!

We celebrated today by hanging out together at home and playing with all of Jack's new birthday toys. Drew and Mommy made cupcakes for him this morning. He wasn't too into eating them though - just wanted to smear the icing in his hair! But the rest of us enjoyed them! We had all of Jack's favorites too - pancakes for breakfast and mac and cheese for lunch. :) Jack opened some more gifts from Drew and Mommy and Daddy and had a ball playing with everything! Happy 1st Birthday, baby boy! We love you soooooo much!

Only 9 days old....


Loving the birthday balloons this morning!

Eating his pancakes with one hand and clutching his balloon with the other!



Opening his mega blocks tractor from Drew!


Tearing into his Retro Rocket from Mommy and Daddy!


The best part was climbing on the boxes!!



Playing catch with Drew with his new Mickey Mouse ball!


He loved his new tent with tunnels attached to crawl through! (So did Drew!!)


Having so much fun!!

Mommy and her sweet little guy!
Mmmm...mac and cheese - my favorite, hands down!

Jack's 1st birthday party!

Yesterday we celebrated Jack's first birthday with all the family! We had a monkey themed party for our little monkey. Grandma and Grandpa came into town for the special event!! Jack had a blast opening his presents (with LOTS of help from big brother Drew) and playing with all his new toys!! He was walking all over the place during his party, too. Such a big boy! He didn't think too much of the cake, though - took a little taste and that was it! Enjoy the slideshow pictures from his party!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Here are a few pics from Valentine's Day and the boys in their Valentine shirts. We had a low key day at home and then had dinner at Mimi's!


Of course Drew has a sucker in his mouth...
One of Jack's new favorite things to do...try to crawl into the toy bins...

Mommy getting a hug from Drew after he gave me the Valentine gift he picked out ALL on his own: a lint roller and a 3 pack of sponges from the $1 bins at Target!! Love it!



Jack trying out a heart cookie that Mimi made...YUM!


Carriage Ride

One of the things we wanted to do at Christmas time but didn't get a chance was go on a horse and carriage ride at Zona Rosa. So we were excited when we found out they were having ride again over Valentine's weekend! Saturday night we went to dinner at Bravo and then got to take a carriage ride. We happened to run into Mimi and Papa at Bravo, so they ended up riding with us! Drew kept saying, "Isn't this fun?!" It was a great night!


Martha the horse




Monster Jam

Drew and Daddy went to the Monster Truck show on Saturday. Drew has been so excited for weeks! His new favorite Monster Truck is this "El Toro Loco". :) He had lots of fun!!!






Fun Run

The other day we went to Fun Run, an indoor play place here in Liberty. It has a bunch of inflatables to climb and jump in, and they even have a toddler area with a big inflatable just right for Jack to crawl around in! Both boys had a blast!

Here is Jack peeking out of the inflatable ambulance.
