It will be official tomorrow.
I can not even believe that another year has snuck up on us. This time we are celebrating the littlest man turning the big 1!! One! Seriously??
Excuse me while I reminise a little bit here...
One year ago today I was cleaning and scrubbing like a mad woman. Nesting away and driving my husband completely bonkers. I was worrying and anticipating having to check in to the hospital for our scheduled C-section the next day. I was going over and over and over the families schedule for the days I would be in the hospital making sure I did not miss one detail. I got all of my little girls outfits, bows, and matching socks planned and labeled with the appropriate day. If you saw how other people dress my children you would understand the importance of this. (Anyone know why I can not use my comma key and a Quick Find box pops up when I push the key? Possibly the result of kids pounding on the keyboard.) I had the meals planned and pantry stocked up to last several weeks. Things were in ship shape.
The next day, which is a year ago tomorrow, we spent our last day as a family of 3 indulging our daughter. Hubby and I headed out the door at 2:30pm for the hospital. We got there at 3pm to check in. I was in my room, prepped and ready to go by 5pm. At 5:23pm we got to meet our baby boy. The miracle of life is so amazing!
It has been a year of loving, laughing, yelling, and crying. That pretty much sums it up.
One year stats:
20 pounds
28 inches tall
Walked at 10-1/2 months
Loves to wave bye-bye
6th tooth is on its way in
Says "da da"
Favorite hang out is his big sisters room
Loves to push the buttons on the stereo...on, off, on, off, all day
Up every couple hours of every night, STILL!
Loves to play outside
Loves to roll balls
Loves to dance to a good beat
Points to what he wants
Gets VERY mad when he does not get what he wants

And one more thing... I am soooo close to having his room done. Finally!! This was the latest addition that I am in love with! I got the idea from Sarah. It is just scrapbook paper attached with decopague to some MDF board that the Home Depot guy cut down to size for me. Total cost was $10 for the boards and $1 for the paper.

He looks so much like you! I love the cowboy pics of him and the scrapbook paper is a very cute idea.
happy birthday little jake! and thank you for another decorating idea - the scrapbook boards are such a quick easy project.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY little man!
He's not sleeping through the night YET? Oh well - it's probably effective birth control.
Unless it leaves you too tired to fight. Not that I've ever used that as an excuse for conception. More than once.
AAAhhh Happy birthday to him and happy Birth-Day to you!
However, when I read he was still not sleeping though the night my stomach turned a little. Because that could very well still be me in a year from now. Sigh.... Oh well, at least when I am up at night I can think of you, up too ,and that will comfort me a little. Yes, misery loves company.
What a sweet year for you guys. I love your family Leslie. Every single one of you. You all are some of my favorite people and I mean that sincerely.
Love you!!!
Cute room, what a great diy project! So fun!
