Happy Birthday to Jack!

Jack's first birthday was a huge success! On the actual day we got his 1 Year Picture taken (the photo to the left) and had lunch out then took it easy for the rest of the day. Jack had been working on his 8th tooth and what a lucky boy, it finally (and I do mean FINALLY) broke through on his b-day!! The photo shoot didn't go as well as planned, but we are (after some reflection and deep breaths) happy with the result. Jack of course was a superstar, but we had some issues with the photographer... Anyway - on to the good stuff!! Jack's party Sat. was a blast! He was so good in the morning while we were getting everything ready and was just in awe over the 100 (yes, 100) helium balloons that were floating all over his house! All his little friends came and he had the best time floating around from group to group mingling - such a little networker we have!! John and I laughed after the party because we realized neither one of us saw Jack at all - he was far too busy talking with his guests! The cake was a non-issue... he was NOT interested in it at all. He took one bite (off my finger) and then just kind of poked the cake a little and had Nan lick the frosting off his finger. No need for a bib, no great covered in cake shots... He was however quite willing (and tried) to eat the candle. We were debating on smearing him with cake just for traditional "first b-day covered in cake picture" but we decided to let the pictures tell the true story of his b-day. Check the photo site for pictures if you don't believe me...
