You Are Only 1 Once!



HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JACOB!

We were able to celebrate Jacob's first year of life and our first year as parents with a little beach party! It was a beautiful day with friends and sunshine. (Even a few dolphins played off shore for a little while!) Instead of real cake we opted for a sandcastle with a hidden prize (ie the wiffle balls in his hands), and for a treat...a chocolate shake at Johnny Rockets. Jacob loves any food that is part of the ice cream family.

What an incredible year! Here is a list of a few of our family's firsts!

Jacob-breath, meal, laugh, bath, smile, rolling over, crawling, taking a few steps, and everything in between.
Tiff-gave birth to my first baby, lost 20 pounds in one week!, cried over spilled milk-literally, joined play groups, and became the mom nobody wants to sit next to on the airplane:)

Joey- became a father, changed a diaper, got peed on, and enjoyed family picnics at work.

Thank you for all of your support and love! We are better because of it!

I absolutely LOVE that first picture of the three of you. You all look fantastic and super happy. Jacob looks like such a happy kid. I will always remember Jacob's birthday since you came to our wedding but couldn't come to the reception that night because you were in labor. Good times.

This one made me teary eyed. It may have been the Baby Signing Time music in the background. :) Seriously though, too sweet. Just love your little family!!!!
