Last post from Jack's birthday weekend!

I had to share these great pictures of Jack with his Great Grandma & Grandpa Gordon who flew in all the way from Texas!  Thanks Grandma & Grandpa - we had a wonderful 4 days visiting with you both!!
1st Trip to Ted Drewes!

Home of the famous Concrete!

1st ride in the new wagon

Enjoying the ride...



1st time on a slide - check out his cute face!!!

Jack loves the swings

Waving at Great Grandpa while Great Grandma pushed him on the swing

So much fun!


Are you still back there?!


One of my all time favorites


Since this is the last post of Jack's first year and I'm going to print the blog into a scrapbook here are some fun facts of Jack at One:
- Jack is a HUGE Mama's boy - Huge could quite possibly be the understatement of the year :)
- Jack says "Mama, Dada, Baba (even though he doesn't take one anymore - stopped cold turkey on his 1st birthday), Hi (In a really high pitched voice because that's how I say it to the dog), Bye, & Ora (aka Laura - his favorite teacher).
- Jack enjoys to play with his push truck, airplane & car
- Jack loves to be read to every night.  Hi favorite book since he received it on his birthday is "Brown Bear Brown Bear"
- Jack is cruising along the furniture, pushes chairs all over the house and will stand alone for a couple minutes at a time but he's not quite ready to walk alone yet.  Which is fine by me :)
- Jack is a good eater and his favorite foods are cheese & yogurt.  I can tell he has a sweet tooth (like his Mama) because if you give him Yogurt Cheerios he'll only eat the pink yogurt ones and leave the plain ones alone.
- Jack in obsessed with teeth.  I assume it's because he is getting teeth like crazy and constantly has his fingers in his mouth.  But watch out - if you smile at him and he's within reach you'll have a little hand inside your mouth.  He now has 4 teeth on top and 3 on bottom with a fourth one popping through.
- Jack loves to cuddle, give hugs and open mouth kisses.  Although you can tell when Terry needs to shave because Jack will push his face away and shake his head no because it scratches.
- Jack loves Bogie (dog) probably more than Bogie loves him but he's tolerated and will even let Jack pet him for the majority of the time.
- Jack's night time routine consists of bath, books w/sippy cup, and being rocked by Mama (pure love).

I love you Jack to moon and back...on to year two
