Jason is ONE

Happy


Birthday


Jason!

"Ooooh, that cake was gooooood!"

Apparently, when Kaylin and Ryan have asked when Jason will walk and talk, I have said, "When he's one."   Both had the idea that these things occurred specifically ON his first birthday.

Kaylin told me last night that this morning, she planned to go into Jason's room and say, "Good morning, Jason!" and he would reply, "Hi, Kaylin!"  You know...because he can talk.  Now that he's one.

Then while we were eating breakfast, Ryan was talking to Jason and said, "After breakfast, Daddy's going to teach you how to walk!"  Like it's a skill that he can learn in one morning.  Cracked me up!

Today we had an Elmo birthday party with family and a couple of neighbor friends. 

It was very low key and perfect; lunch, a few gifts and homemade chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting.   I was going to attempt to make each cupcake look like a little Elmo face, but I changed my mind at the last minute and just rolled the frosted tops in red sprinkles.  The paper wrappers were Elmo, but you couldn't even see them because the cake was so dark. (note to self: don't spend extra money on cute cupcake wrappers)

Jason had to be hosed off after devouring his cupcake.  At least his nostrils weren't plugged up like for Kaylin's first birthday!


"I'm so excited to be ONE!"
