Birthday Boy

Happy 1st Birthday Jake! Where did that year go? I know everyone says that they grow up so fast..but REALY..where did that year GO? It's hard to believe that it has been that long. A year ago right now, the three of us were just getting to know one another in a little room up in Providence! We have come a long way in 12 months..lots of diapers, wipes, tears, bottles and lots of love. I can't remember really what life was like before him and it's just as fine.

On Sunday we celebrated with a BBQ and had a great time with lots of family and friends. Judging by the room filled with toys - Jake is one loved little boy. It turned out to be a great day and we are so thankful to everyone who came over (and traveled near and far) to celebrate the little man's birthday.

Here are a few pictures of Sunday's party:



I dont have many pictures, but if anyone else out there does, please share! :)

Today, Jake's actual birthday was spent as Gregson family day! Our plans were to take Jake to the Roger Williams Zoo for a few hours but the rain cancelled those plans! Instead we drove up to Ikea and walked the store for hours, picking out houseware for a house we plan to own soon. We don't know where it is just yet..but when we do, we'll post it! :) After Ikea, we hit the Providence Place Mall where Daddy had to go to visit the Apple store. So..Jake did a whole lot of shopping on his first birthday!

While we had cake last Sunday to celebrate the little man's big day, we decided to have a little something for him tonight too - a Cookie Monster Cupcake. Jake LOVED it. I have never seen food bring out the color of his eyes like this cupcake did. We have blue all over the house..but it was well worth it.



Happpyy Birthday dear Jakkkke..


Is this REALLY all for ME?




Mmm.....









Again, thank you to everyone who made Jake's Birthday a VERY special one. XOXOXO
