Happy Birthday, Jayden

Well, this has been long overdue. I have been terrible at this blogging thing. Yes, Jay's birthday was in November. I feel awful. Not only was it his birthday, but his FIRST birthday, and I have yet to blog about it. Not to mention Thanksgiving and Christmas. My goal is to get much better....

Jayden had such a fun birthday! It was a rockstar birthday, which included some awesome cupcakes, star chocolate pops (made by Aunt Moo and Nana), and some rocking blow up guitars. We had some wonderful friends come celebrate with

Jay-dawg. The weather was perfect for a backyard BBQ and bounce house.

I cannot begin to describe how much we love this boy. He has brought so much joy into our lives (along with his big brother). We are so grateful to God for entrusting him to us to raise him to be the man God calls him to be.

Here are a few things he is doing lately:

Words:

Momma, Dada, Bubba, GuhGuh (Buckwheat), Hi, Bye-Bye, PapPap (Pappy), Daguh!! (Tackle!!), Yes, No, Uh-Oh, Eat, Go, Thank You, and I am sure more but can't think of any more right now.

Sign Language:

Eat, More, Please, Thank You

Things he is doing:

Crawling everywhere FAST (not walking yet), Standing on his own for a few seconds, Screams a LOT (Mommy is working on breaking that habit), Gets excited when Daddy comes home from work, High Five, Waves, Kisses goodbye (and clicks his tongue instead of smacking)

Love that kid!!

I will leave you with pictures. Be ready, there are lots.
