Well, this day came much faster than I wanted it to, but here it is... my baby boy is one year old. Having a January birthday is harder to celebrate than I anticipated. Between the finish of Christmas and the beginning of school... I could hardly fit it in. We had family over and celebrated quietly with some spaghetti and chocolate cake. We gave Jett his own slice of cake. He began by taking a small taste with his finger and by the end was using both fists. Jett is such a precious gift to this family. I can not believe that I ever questioned whether or not to have another baby... he is living proof that Heavenly Father knows best. These are some things about Jett that I don't ever want to forget:
1.) Any time mommy or daddy walk by him he begins to grunt so that we will come and give him attention.
2.) He LOVES to experiment with sound. He makes a sound with his mouth that sounds like "tickle tickle tickle."
3.) He hums and sings when he really enjoys what he's eating.
4.) He army crawled until he was about 11 months old and then began crawling the "normal way."
5.) When he smiles his true smile, he crinkles his nose and slowly blinks his beautiful eyes.
6.) He has one solitary curl on the back of his head. I love it.
7.) He NEVER sleeps through the night. We wakes up at least two times and wants a sippy cup of milk and a cuddle with mommy.
8.) In the morning he rolls over, pulls up to Mike, slaps his face and says: "da da."
9.) He LOVES his brother and sisters. Any one of them can get him to belly laugh.
10.) He loves animals. Dogs and cats make him so happy that he almost goes crazy.
11.) He can scale the stairs in 30 seconds if you let him.
12.) He rubs his feet together all of the time. (The way most people rub their hands together when they're cold)
13.) He has an adorable blue "mongolian spot" on his upper left bum cheek.
14.) He dances whenever a song with a solid beat plays...
15.) He wants to be everywhere I am... and coincidentally, I want to be everywhere he is...
