Jason is ONE! I love being able to feed him so many foods. We had fun celebrating his birthday with Kyle's family. We celebrated it on July 4th, rather than on his actual birthday because the poor kid got shots on his birthday and we didn't want grumpy baby at his own party. Because we celebrated on the 4th of July, I made a fun flag birthday cake using blueberries, raspberries, and cream cheese frosting with lemon zest. We rounded off the festivities with homemade vanilla ice-cream, 7-layer dip, star-shaped cookies, watermelon, and a cheese platter.
We gave Jason the opportunity to dig into a big slice of cake, but he didn't take it. I think this is partially because he wasn't hungry enough, and partially because he was nervous with so many people watching him. He did enjoy smooshing the cake through his fingers once everybody stopped staring, and I fed him a few bites with a fork.
Jason getting nervous:
Calmly smooshing cake now that the pressure is off:
Kyle helped him open his presents. He was most intrigued with his new balls, of course.
Sitting with Great-grandpa Brailsford is not much fun.
At 12 months Jason loves to:- play with balls
- talk all the time whether we understand him or not. His best words are ball, cheese, blueberries, hot, grapes, bear, and Dada.
- walk with assistance from parents or the wall
- hold his bear while sucking on his pacifier
- eat watermelon
- "help" dad mow the lawn
- take objects in and out of containers
- play with water
We love our crazy Jason. Happy Birthday again, sweet boy.
