We went to a first birthday party last weekend for Riley. Riley's mom is one of my oldest friends, almost 25 years!!! We had a great time at the party which you can see more about on Riley's blog and Jumpin' J now loves to sing Happy Birthday. But he thinks the song is specifically for Riley so he always sings it to her. It goes something like Happy Day! Happy Day! Happy Day Riley To You! I guess it's better to hear live!

Cake, Glorious Cake
Last night Auntie Donna and I made the three cakes for Jumpin' J's birthday party. Since J's Dad's birthday is Tuesday and Uncle Andrew's Birthday is Friday we made each of them a cake in addition to J's cake. In honor of Jumpin' J's bug theme each cake was a different type of bug. And I have to pat Donna and I on the back because I think they came out AWESOME!!! I don't want to brag but they came out just the way I envisioned them and they are so darned cute! I'll post pictures tomorrow so I don't ruin the surprise for party goers but here is what they are...
For Jumpin' J - ant made with a non-dairy, non-soy recipe
For J's Dad - caterpillar with devil's food cake and a creamy vanilla frosting
For Uncle Andrew - bee with fudge marble cake and creamy vanilla frosting
I did have a couple of mishaps while making J's cake but I figure that was to keep Auntie Donna laughing and it was all good in the end. From our taste tests they taste as good as they look!!!
Now onto dusting, vacuuming, and cleaning the kitchen floor...

Jumpin' J's Day
Monday was a good day for Jumpin' J although I'm pretty sure he didn't really get that it was his birthday. We sang Happy Birthday to him when he first got up.
Then we played with his trucks and read some books.
One of his new books from Grandma Laurie is the Grouchy Ladybug and J loves to find the teeny tiny ladybug on each page. After that we had breakfast and J took a nap.
When he woke up from his nap he got dressed and played in his sock and shoe drawer for a while.
Later in the afternoon we met up with his birthday buddy.
And when we got home Daddy was already home to celebrate with Jumpin' J.
A quick pic with Mommy.
And then his big present from Mommy and Daddy, a big red Radio Flyer wagon.
Which had to be thoroughly inspected.
And then we went for a quick walk to check out the ride.
After his ride it was dinner and a bath. In the bath he got to play with some of his new tubby toys that Daddy picked out for him.
He was tuckered out after a very busy day and went right to sleep, on his belly with his thumb in his mouth and his bum in the air.

Jumpin' J's One Year Pictures
Today Jumpin' J and I went on an adventure to get his picture taken. I had a hard time picking so I ended up with four. I think he looks so cute, not that I'm biased or anything. Hope you enjoy them!

Happy Birthday To Our Friend L!!!
L was born just three hours after Jumpin' J so he is also one today. L and J are great friends as well as birthday buddies. Hopefully they'll remain friends for life!!! Here they are on their four month birthday!
Today we went to a late lunch with L, his mom, and his grandparents. It was a really nice time. Here they are on their first birthday! Notice that L has had noticeably more hair for their entire lives!

First Card and Present Arrive
Time just flies by. It totally boggles my mind that Jumpin' J's birthday is Monday already and he is going to be one year old!!! In some ways it feels like just this morning when I was holding him for the first time and in other ways it feels like he's been here forever since I can't imagine life without him.
Today J and I went to get the mail and in it was his first birthday card and first birthday package. J was so excited when I told him that it was his card and package although I am not sure how much he really GOT. He carried his card back from the mailbox all by himself and didn't drop it at all. He opened his first card with just a little help from me and was thoroughly fascinated with the animals! Thank you Aunt Sandi and Jim!
Then I let him open his first birthday present. He was ripping and tearing through the paper until he could see what was inside and then kept pressing all the letters. I finished taking the paper off and he "helped" me open the box to get all the letters out. He was screeching when he heard that it played the ABC's; that's his favorite song. Great job Auntie Fruitcake, it is a hit!!!
My fridge has officially been kiddi-sized!
