The King of All Wild Things

      Our little wild thing had a wonderful birthday party Saturday with a house full of family, just the way we envisioned it! It was great to look around the room when everyone was singing Happy Birthday and see all these faces we have loved all our lives and who have loved Jeffrey so much already. I cried a happy cry when I told Brant that afterward! It was a sweet celebration of a precious and very happy boy!

1 YEAR OLD!

   
"SOOOO BIG!"
     Jeffrey is one year old today! He has amazed us, opened our hearts and taught us so much about ourselves and each other in this time. I did not expect the whirl wind of emotions surrounding this momentous birthday. It is possible that he will be our only child. I can't help but be emotional about it, but want to celebrate him growing, becoming more independent and being such a healthy, happy little guy! I feel so lucky and so proud to call him my son. Thanks to God for this gift. Happy birthday, Jeffrey and many, many more!

 Lovin' the ball pit!
Celebrating his friend's 1st birthday
     Jeffrey has gained so much independence in the last couple of months. He loves to play with his friends, wave at strangers and flirt at the grocery store. He has a sense of humor with his bear growls, pig oinks, timing of Mamas and Daddas. He likes to roll over and wait to be tickled, pull up on us while standing and laughs with pride. We have a lot of fun together!
 
 This is the first walking he's done, on his birthday, with a friend's toy, during a cul-de-sac play date!
 He was very proud
 Birthday cake!







He had a fantastic day!
