Our Birthday Boy





Jayden celebrated his first birthday yesterday. He was so sweet when he woke up and heard us singing happy birthday to him. It was so crazy to recall the events of the previous year...the labor, delivery and beginning of parenthood reality. We are just so thankful that God has given us this precious gift. If you know him well, you know he is one of a kind. He's so funny and independent. He is so much a daddy's boy. Of course, he loves him mama too. He was almost 30 inches at his 1 year appointment (50th percentile) and was a whopping 23 lbs 9 oz (which is somewhere between 50th and 75th). We had his birthday party at the park last weekend and he played for two hours straight. He wanted nothing to do with eating the party food or the birthday cake...it was all play. His little cheeks were bright red and he loved every minute of it. Thanks to all who came, we hope to get the thank you notes out before he turns 2! Ha ha. Here are some pictures from the big day.
