It's hard to believe that you are already a year old sweet Jaeger Ray. It seems like just yesterday I was holding you in my arms for the first time. You are still just as happy as you were that first week home. All we have to do is look at you and you'll smile! And, boy, does that smile melt our hearts. I never tire looking at it, but I'm quite thankful that you've finally decided to only get up once a night to see me these days. (The every 2 hour thing was growing old!)
Here are some things you adore:
Dane, Bailey, gazing out and pounding on the window, baths, swimming in the pool, sitting outside on a sunny day and watching all the neighborhood kids whiz by on their bikes, anything your brother is playing with, door stoppers that go "boing", opening and shutting doors, the TV remote control, the phone, your new found freedom of standing, the drapes in Mommy & Daddy's room, listening to Mommy sing, watching Mommy dance, pounding your hands on the bathtub, all electrical cords & outlets, and of course....peek-a-boo
Your favorite foods are:
Blueberries, prunes, hot dogs, peaches, Pirate Booty, cheese & bananas (although you can't have those anymore, which is why we're having to add prunes to your daily diet! Thank goodness you like them. ;) )
Some of your least favorite things are:
Most vegetables (Dane you are definitely not!), getting out of the bath tub, having your diaper changed, your brother taking a toy away from you, and to my horror - reading (I sure hope this changes as I am a reading specialist!! You literally push the book away when I try to read to you.)
And here's what we adore about you:
Your Dairy-Queen smile, how happy you are about almost everything, watching you touch something you know you're not supposed to and turn to us while giving us that incredible smile of yours, your sweet giggle, your chubby hands wrapped around a bottle of milk, your adorable biscuits, and those Hubert cheeks perfect for a million kisses a day.
Happy Birthday to you Jaeger Ray. We love you!
