Mimi comes to celebrate Jack's 1st Bday

Mimi came in for the special occasion and we got some great pics of the two of them. You can tell...Jack already adores her!

Jack is 1

To celebrate Jack's 1st birthday, we had a small party at our house with all of the neighborhood buddies. The weather was perfect, so the kids had fun running around in the back yard. Then everyone came inside to eat cake and ice cream. Jack loved the singing, but wasn't sure about the rest. He dabbled into the cake, but didn't really take an interest in it too much. Jack was not a fan of the birthday hats!Carter Enjoying the party!

Jack's First Haircut

It was finally time to get my little baby's haircut! He was pretty squirmy and a little fussy, but we got it accomplished. Now he is truly a little boy :)

Finished Product...what a cutie!

Discovery Place Kids

This weekend we took the kids to a new museum in Charlotte. It was fabulous and perfect for their ages. Carter's favorite was the real firetruck and all of the race cars. Jack's favorite was the water table. They both loved exploring the whole place, we can't wait to go back!

Loving Life

Jack is absolutely precious these days. He loves life now that he has perfected the art of walking. He walks all around the house all day long with his arms up by his shoulders (in almost a karate kid pose) and just cruises. If music comes on he pauses and then starts dancing. If anyone is sitting on the floor, he'll come up to you and give you kisses in between his laps. It is so adorable and I just love that he is so happy!
