12 month update and Birthday pics...

Didn't you HATE to get shots when you were little? I did. I still hate it. And now it's even harder to have to watch my sweet little boy have to get his. BLEH!!

The doctor said Jax is looking good. Doing all the things he should (except waving bye bye - dang it!!) But he's ahead in the walking category, so we'll take that :) He weighs 19 pounds 7 ounce (5th percentile) and is 28 1/4 inches tall (9th percentile). Still has a big head...it's in the 50th percentile. HAHHA!! At least he doesn't look like his head is big :)

Now to his birthday.... It was a lot of fun and we had a great turnout. Jax has a lot of friends!! We had one little incident....

The last few weeks Jax has started blowing. So, when it was time to blow out the candle, I tried to let him blow it out, but he decided to put it out with his fingers. So, he didn't like that. There was no mark, and it was a little delayed reaction on the scream, but...Lesson Learned: practice blowing the candle out BEFORE the party :)

He did seem to like the cake and icing once he got done being upset. He loved his presents. As can be expected - he wanted to play with each toy he got instead of opening the next one. Thankfully mommy - a professional present opener - was there with him to help.

So far we are three days into being 1 year old and it's pretty dang good. He is saying more words and that is so cute!! He is showing more of a temper, but we are dealing with that and won't give in to him - unless he puts himself in danger, which he seems to like to do. We are loving hanging out with him and watching him do all his new things every day. It's so wonderful. :)

Here are some party pics...
