Jaksen's 1st Birthday

Happy Birthday Jaksen!!! It's hard to believe our baby has already turned 1. It seems just like yesterday that he was a tiny little baby. They grow up so fast.
We are also happy to report that Jaksen started walking last Monday the 10Th. That was the first day I actually went back to work, and that is when he chooses to start walking. He was at home with Daddy that day, so he got to be the lucky witness to it all! Since then he has been on the go and does not want you to hold him much anymore. He has a new set of wheels and he wants to use them. He is really good at it too, considering he has not been walking very long. He has only had a few bumps and scrapes. He is also really trying to talk and say more words all the time. His main words are daddy, doggie, na-na (no-no), hi, bye, mama, and attempting to say brother and thank you.
Jaksen is truly a joy and has blessed our family in so many ways. We could not imagine life without him or Austen. They are really good brothers to each other. They play good together and both of them love to be the first person in the room when the other one wakes up. Jaksen loves to pick brother up from school and Austen is always checking on Jaksen asking him if he is OK. And if Jaksen coughs, Austen says, "Goodness Jaksen, are you OK?" Too cute and I am sure that is only the beginning!!




The start of the cake fun!!! Watch the mess unfold!




All done!!! Happy Birthday to me and that was some gooooood cake!
