Jacob is One and other Fun!

Wow! Well, we passed the major milestone and are still kicking! I've made a slide show of some of the fun that we've been up to the past few weeks.

Jacob turned 1 on June 20th. The day of we took a cool lego cake to his school to share with his friends - he didn't like the cake, but his friends did. The only bummer was that after frosting the cake for 2 hours it melted in the car, so we really had 'slimy lego' cake - but hey, it's the thought that counts, right! I knew i should have taken a picture the night before!

After the party at school we headed to Seattle for Jason's cousin's wedding. Amy was beautiful and the wedding was great. We visited the Boeing Air Museum, that's a pretty neato place, tons of stuff to see.

Before the 20th we had the great opporturnity to go to Colorado for 5 days (that is a rare occasion). We got to spend time with Laura and Zach and Maddox and Jacob officially took off walking. Before that day, 8 steps had been his record, but when he saw all of Maddox's toys, he was OFF. By the next day he was at 43 steps and after taht we stopped counting. It was amazing. Thanks Maddox for having cool toys!

Then we spent the rest of the time with my Family. Ethan got to drive my Dad's Bronco which was pretty sweet for him. He also got to see a little brown bear walk through our driveway. We got introduced to my Brother's Lake Shack - his RV set up with all the fixin's at his little lake. We had a great time playing in the lake and skiing, wakeboarding and surfing - yep, you read it right. See the pics!

So back to the present. Jacob is walking all the time now, which is nice for his 2+ hr naps since he's so tired. He's also started some nice temper tantrums when things don't go his way, so that interesting to experience:) I haven't captured those on camera yet, i'm sure it would make him more mad becuase then he would want the camera and I wouldn't give it to him, so that would be horrible! Little funny guy. When he's not having his 1 tantrum a day he is a hoot. He is saying Duck very well and yesterday finally started doing the sign language for more and is trying to say it. He's more cuddly (giving hugs and definitely is a mama's boy). I don't mind that. He's learning what is in every drawer and how it all looks on the floor and doesn't appreciate the child locks on some cabinets.

Yesterday he went to his first birthday party for a 'girlfriend' - Katavia who is 10 days younger had her party yesterday so Jacob and his 5 girlfriends from Mom's group played at Gymboree, it was cute, he was all over the place.

Well, i think I've written a book now, sorry to drag on, just had some major catching up to do. Enjoy the pics.
