He's 1!

Our little guy turned 1 yesterday!










I honestly cannot believe that he is 1. (Which seems strange considering all the long difficult nights I've spent with him!) We adore our little SJ. I can't imagine our family without him.


Here are some facts on SJ:

- He is a Mama's Boy.
- He is a very messy eater.
- He is always pointing.
- Whenever there is music playing he can't help but groove.
- He loves pillows! We have pillows set up so that he can't get to the rabbit's cage, he spends most of his days wrestling and face planting into those pillows. As he does this he has a constant grin on his face. If he's ever fussy, we just place him by those pillows and he's happy as a clam.
- He enjoys making noise, lots of noise. Our bedroom door doesn't stay open by itself all the way so I have it propped open with a long rice bag, he likes to move the rice bag and bang that door into the wall over, and over, and over again. He also enjoys throwing whatever he can get his hands on to see what noise it will make as he drops it.
- He LOVES animals. When he sees any type of animal he reacts not only by shrieking but also with body spasms.
- He loves his sister, and she loves him right back. They love to be by each other no matter the circumstance. She can make him laugh harder than anyone can. I love watching their friendship develop.

We look forward to many more birthdays with our little guy.

You've had a Birthday, Shout Hooray!

We celebrated MJ's 3rd birthday this past week.
Here she is "helping" me make the cake:



Megan and AnneMarie came this weekend to wish MJ a Happy Birthday. (Thanks again ladies!) We celebrated by going to the Ringling Bros Circus in Dallas. And it .... was ..... awesome. It wasn't only MJ and SJ's first circus but also AnneMarie's, and Derrick's.



First cotton candy:
Happy Birthday MJ!! You are such a blessing in our lives.
