Jack turned 1.

Our baby boy turned one this week. It's already impossible to imagine what life was like without him. Not a day goes by where he doesn't bring large amounts of joy into our life. He's walking and running around all over the place these days... definitely keeping us on our toes. :)

I have to admit, I woke up on the morning of Jack's birthday way more nostalgic than I expected to. Constantly saying, "At exactly this time last year we were..." fill in the blank. It's crazy to have this kid of our own and we couldn't be more happy than that he is ours and that we get to teach him love and grace and so many joys in life. 

As you will see here, Jack is a very blessed boy and has so many people constantly loving him. Both Bill's and my family live within 10 minutes of each other which means we get to celebrate almost everything twice. It's a pretty sweet deal. We celebrated with my family on Monday, we first went to get our Christmas tree, then out to dinner and home to treats and gifts. Then Tuesday we had pizza, cake and gift's with the Baxter's. I think Jack was starting to think this is normal life now. 

My mom and dad got him this rocking chair and he was so excited about it. It was adorable.

Tuesday night's celebrations...

He got some pretty cool stuff. After opening each gift he laughed and clapped. 

We love you little man!
