Jayden's 1st Birthday

We celebrated Jayden's 1st Birthday by partying, eating and playing! After Baby Animal Days we went to Pizza Pie Cafe for all-we-could-eat pizza. Yummm! Pizza is Jayden's favorite food right now and mama loves the dessert pizzas there! Once we were sufficiently stuffed we headed back to Grandma and Grandpa's house to open presents and have cake and ice cream. Jayden got spoiled rotten (as usual) and Rylee is having as much fun with his presents as he is.

Jayden was so funny with the cake! He didn't seem to want to get his hands too dirty but he had no problem sticking his whole face in it!!

Random Jayden Facts at 1-year-old:

• he not only walks but also runs, jumps and climbs everything
• he finally hit the 20lbs mark so he can ride in the big boy carseat! (after a week of being sick he is back to only 17lbs, but we're going to pretend that didn't happen)
• he has had 5 haircuts and somehow still looks like an orphan child
• he says ball, book, wow, what's that, hi, dad, mama and baba (among many other parroted words that he doesn't really know the meanings of)
• he definitely has his dad's appetite: he will eat just about anything and he eats constantly
• he gets his sleep habits from his mom, though (finally ... a child that sleeps!)
• he has - or is currently getting - seven of his front teeth (and i have suspicions about molars already coming in, too)
• he loves any and every kind of ball (even paper wadded up into a ball) and driving little cars around the floor making vroom noises
• he is also fascinated by the little motorcycles daddy makes - anytime he is fussy all we have to do is take him out to daddy's workbench
• and he still loves Rylee more than anyone!!!
