Happy Birthday Jaeden

Jaeden is officially one year old!!!!

Well, actually he has been one year old for two weeks now...

My apologies for the long wait. We temporarily lost the cord to our camera, so we couldn't post Jaeden's Birthday pictures. Then we had to fly to Missouri for Renee's grandpa's funeral. We're back in town, so I'm getting these pictures up ASAP!So Jaeden had a GREAT birthday. We had our friends from New Jersey come, and Jaeden loves their daughters (not sure how I feel about that yet. Nothing againts you, Brett and Erin, but Jaeden is not going to be dating until he's 55! Well, maybe not that old...) We had a fun birthday party, and Jaeden got both chinese food, and his first taste of cake.He's really a cautious little boy: he doesn't like being on something if he feels like he's going to fall, he doesn't like trying new foods, and he's nervous about new games if he doesn't know what daddy is going to do at the end. So he really didn't dive into the cake at first. That is, until he put enough in his mouth to taste it. That was the end.
He wasn't the messiest eater at one that I've seen, But he LOVED the cake. It was also at Jaeden's party that we realized that all of our friends (both here and elsewhere) except for a few have girls. Jaeden is surrounded. He'll either be slightly girlish, or a ladies man. I'm not sure how I feel about either option! :)
I'm guessing he's going to be the ladies man, though, because he's just so nice. He even lets Zoe eat his food while he's not looking!

We also celebrated by going swimming at a nearby lake. Jaeden loves the water, and anything water related. He also likes being thrown into the air by daddy. That made this the best of both worlds for him.






Finally, my favorite new game, and Jaeden's favorite game: Chicken. He loves to have me crawl at him while making as much noise as possible, and he'll crawl towards me, and then we'll bonk heads. In fact, he was enjoying it so much Aeriana thought it looked like great fun, and tried to get in on the action. Whoops, didn't see Brett behind her... We recorded this at the end of the game, though, so he's not laughing the whole time, but he's still enjoying it a lot.



Isn't he the cutest kid ever???

Happy Birthday Little Buddy.

We can't believe that we are so lucky to have you as our son.

Here's to the very best year of our lives...

Love you baby boy!!!
