Happy 1st Birthday Jalen-Todd

We can hardly believe that our little bundle of joy is one-year-old! I swear we blinked and a whole year passed. Jalen-Todd has blessed our lives in so many ways - making this the most amazing year for our family! He's a very busy boy, walking (a little unsteady still, but doing great), babbling, laughing, and playing all the time. Since the day he was born he's been a very curious and active boy - always interested in how things work and watching intently at the world around him. One of our favorite things now is when Jalen looks at us with the most serious face, babbles on and on with true intent, and keeps going louder and louder until you acknowledge his very important comment. He'll then continue with what he was doing, as if releaved to get his thoughts off his chest.
We celebrated his special day with all of his favorite things...blueberry pancakes and fruit, swimming at the pool, Gymboree, and a visit to our neighbor's Chris and Catherine (he LOVES their dog Bella).
Happy Birthday Little Man - We love you!!

Special breakfast for the birthday boy.


Jalen woke up to a little birthday surprise on the back patio.


"Where does this go?"


He loves playing with the little boat.


A little pool-side picnic with mommy.
A little "Happy Birthday" song in honor of Jalen. He also got a sweet birthday kiss from the little girl Hayden on the far right...lucky boy!

Jalen loves Bella so much we have to contain him.

So excited to pet Bella he can hardly stand it!
