Jacob's Birthday Party

We finally celebrated Jacob's 1st Birthday! We had the party on the 4th of July and due to it being a holiday, only family members were able to come. At first I was a little disappointed that many of the original guest list weren't able to make it, but then I realized that the smaller crowd was better anyway. It gave us a chance to visit with everyone and made it less chaotic for Jacob. He loves attention, but he can be shy in big crowds.

The weather was fantastic and we had a really great time celebrating!

This was about a week before his party, but Jacob opening presents from Mommy and Daddy:

Jacob's 1st Birthday!

Today is my baby boy's first birthday! Unfortunately, due to Daddy's surgery, we didn't get to celebrate, but the good news is Daddy came home today!

Jacob's party was originally scheduled for next Saturday, June 13th, but we have decided to postpone it. Cody needs some time to recover and just isn't moving well enough. We could still do the party, but I would rather wait until he is able to fully enjoy it and participate. Stay tuned for new date.

Now for pictures....
