Jarin's First Birthday

Can you believe he is ONE? This has been a great monument for him. He is walking and playing more independently so he seems content to be out of mommies arms:) He and Brady play together and can actually go about 5 minutes without fighting over toys. He's growing well. He weighed almost 21 pounds and was 50th in his height bracket when we took him to the doctor last week.

He is learning so much right now. He started to say mama and dada when prompted. He dances and waves hi and bye. He folds his little hands to pray when we do. He also loves animals and learning all their sounds. Matt and I have determined that he is going to be the clown of the family. He loves making faces at us and getting our attention by doing silly things. He even makes Brady laugh! We are so proud of our rambunctious little boys!

We had a lunch for him at my parent's house. We were supposed to host it on our back patio but it rained that day and the inside of our house couldn't fit the 16 people that came. It was mainly family but we also invited our friends Jason & Carrie and their son, Breck and then our friends Amanda and Jorge. We all had a good time visiting and watching Jarin chow down on cake. He isn't a huge eater so we weren't sure if he would be that into it. He did just fine though! Click the link below to see all the pictures.
