Jonas is 1!

It's hard for me to believe that my baby turned 1 on Saturday! I can't believe how fast time flies, especially with 2 kids.
We started the day off with an early (really too early for Mommy's liking) game of basketball. He was very excited about this new toy.

Reef was also excited about this new toy, and quickly took it over.

We had a special pancake breakfast that morning and went on a long walk, followed by a quick nap for the birthday boy. After that, we headed to the mall to look for a belt for Mommy and shoes for Jonas. I thought he wore maybe a size 4.5 but no...he wears a 6, extra wide of course! We didn't like anything we saw, so we left the mall empty-handed and went home to meet Gigi and Grandma. After the afternoon nap, it was time for the big party. Jonas was a little grumpy early on since his nap was a little short. I think all the excitement was getting to him.
Notice that he wasn't too in to the candle thing...

But he does look pretty excited about that cake! After this picture, he actually refused to eat the cake unless we gave him a fork.

Jonas wasn't sure he liked the cake, so he let Jayden try some of his to make sure it was good.

Then she gave him a "thank you" kiss.

After the kids had their fill of cake, we moved on to presents. Here's Jonas with his penguin from the Whartons. They were sweet enough to bring a dog for Reef too!

I think this ball popper toy was by far the favorite of the day. He squeals in delight when the balls come out! Thanks Gigi!

Reef took a break to read with Grandma.

Jonas and Archer really hit it off at the party. They didn't want to let go!

After all of our friends left, we went for a birthday dinner at Luby's (this was more for Mommy's birthday than Jonas'), but neither of the boys was very hungry after all that cake. Then we took our tired boys home to bed. I think it was a great day for the birthday boy!
