Down The Slide

OK, so I know this is not a high quality picture but it is a cute one! There is a little slide in the inside play area at Jacob's day care. He has been very curious about it and today decided to climb up it. His day care provider snapped this with her cell phone and sent it to me. After climbing up and down the steps several times, Jacob decided to go down the slide for the first time on his own. He went down head first on his belly and laughed and laughed! Theressa said he loved it and continues to slide down the slide every day. I guess Tim and I are going to have to get him one for the house!

First Time At McDonalds

Tim had an appointment tonight, so I decided to pick Jacob up from daycare and take him to McDonald's for dinner. He loved getting chicken nuggets and french fries. This is the first time that he has ever had McDonald's.

As you can see, he had no problem eating the chicken nuggets and french fries. As a matter of fact he "yelled" at me if I did not get him a french fry quick enough. It was fun for us to have a little bit of special time together.

Jacob is really good in restaurants. He likes to look around at all the people and what is going on. I though this might be fun since yesterday was his first birthday, so I wanted to spoil him a little bit. We had a great time having dinner at McDonald's.

Jacob's Birthday Part 3 - More Cupcake Pictures

Here are the strawberry cupcakes I made for Jacob to take to day care. They had vanilla icing on them and were pretty yummy!

Jacob had no problem digging in! He thought having cupcakes for breakfast was pretty cool. I posted some earlier pictures of the cupcake eating, but those were pictures I had taken with my cell phone. These are from my camera.

I am sure that Jacob wished that everyday was his birthday so he could have cupcakes for breakfast! There were some super cute pictures of the other kids eating the cupcakes, but I did not feel right about posting them without their parents permission. Let's just say that some of them really knew how to go for it! Frosting from head to toe!

As you can see by the few amount of crumbs left, Jacob really enjoyed his cupcake! No food issues with this kid that is for sure! He is a good eater!

Birthday picture with Mommy!

And a birthday picture with Daddy!

All the pictures and cupcake eating made Jacob thirsty! Good thing Miss Theressa was there with some milk to wash down the birthday breakfast cupcake! Yummy!

Jacob's Birthday Part 2 - The Birthday Cupcakes

Today is Jacob's 1st birthday and we had the best morning with him. Tim and I got up with Jacob and gave him his present from mommy and daddy (I will post those pictures soon). Then I frosted the cupcakes I baked last night and we headed over to his day care. I snapped these pictures with my phone, so there will be more pictures in the next post.

As you can see, Jacob had no problem eating the cupcake. This was his first one and he thought it was pretty yummy. I mean who wouldn't like a strawberry cupcake for breakfast?

I love this picture as he was really going for it in this one! Super cute! The rest of the kids were having a great time eating them too.

We really enjoyed being able to have the time to go and spend the morning with our son, and having cupcakes for breakfast. This weekend we will be doing our family celebration, so there will be a lot more pictures to enjoy!

Jacob's Birthday Part 1 - The Present

Today is Jacob's birthday and we had some special time with our little man first thing this morning. We got up and gave him his birthday gift from mommy and daddy.

Of course anything that involves ripping paper is lot's of fun for any one year old!

Daddy ended up having to help Jacob out to reveal the present! It was pretty exciting stuff!

Of course for those of you out there that have kids, especially little ones, you know how hard it is to get the toy out of the packaging. That was certainly the case here! They had the drum and maracas bolted in the box! It took quite a bit of work to get them out!

But Jacob was pretty happy just having daddy down on the floor hanging out with him! He thought this was pretty fun!

Daddy is great at getting the toys out of the box! Hurray for daddy! Jacob had a great time playing with his new musical instruments and it was a super fun way to start off his birthday day! More to come about the birthday adventure...

Happy To Be Turned Around

We turned Jacob's car seat around as he will be one year old on Thursday the 24th. I can't believe our little man will be one in a matter of days! We have gone through a couple of phases where Jacob has been extremely unhappy to be in his car seat. As you can tell by this picture he has been very happy to be turned around. It has been super cute and funny! He looks around at us as everything as it goes by. He is laughing and jabbing all the time. This has been a great mile stone to get to as it has made Jacob very happy to be turned around. The quality of the picture is not that great as I took it with my cell phone, but you can see how happy he is.

Lunch Time Fun

My daycare provider Theressa is great about sending me pictures of little man Jake. As many of you know, he has a mouth full of teeth (12 so far), so she has been trying all kinds of new foods with him. Jacob seems to be enjoying them! As you can see by this pictures he has as much on him and he gets in him. This was baked beans and chicken nuggets.
