First Birthday!




May 26 was Jacob's first birthday! Jacob's birthday was on Saturday so we chose to celebrate on Monday after I had returned from Vermont. We spent the morning at the park.  Our friends and their 2-yr-old came over to celebrate with us. I made a mini yellow cake and cupcakes, with cool whip for frosting, and sprinkles.We grilled some chicken and had dinner, then sang Happy Birthday and put down the mini cake in front of Jacob. He wasted no time getting both hands in it! But it did take him a little bit to figure out he could eat it. Once he did, though, he demolished it! He was in good spirits even though he had a runny nose and was laughing and enjoying himself the whole time. After cake Micah helped him open gifts and then it was right in the tub to scrub off all those crumbs! Micah and David ran around playing while Jacob tried his best to imitate whatever they were doing. He had a bit of a hard time going to sleep that night, but who can blame him? I think he really enjoyed the day! I'll post some more in the next entry.
