My mom and I had a great time making monkey cakes and cupcakes for Jacob's birthday. 
Jacob LOVED his chocolate cupcake and ate the ENTIRE thing. Here are a few shots of our one year old in action!
We went to the pediatrician on Wednesday for his 12 month appointment and got another great report. Jacob weighed in at 21 lbs (25th percentile) and measured 29 1/2 inches long (45th percentile).Our precious Jacob is just that - precious! He is such a sweet and happy baby and I just LOVE being around him. His energy and happiness is absolutely contagious and he truly brightens my day. I love his slobbery kisses, his giggles when he is being chased, and how he thinks he is so clever and funny when he is hiding behind the curtains from me. Jacob is a very confident walker now and is, of course, into everything. He also tries to run which is so darn cute!
Jacob's favorite books are "You're My Little Lovebug", "Goodnight Moon", "The Five Little Pumpkins", "Skippyjon Jones", and "Elmo's Home Run". His favorite toys are balls. He loves dropping them, rolling them, watching them bounce, and following them all around the house. His other favorite toys are his wooden puzzle, velcro sandwich, cell phone, big tiger, and Kindermusik scarf. Jacob LOVES bath time and gets so excited when we start running the water. He splashes and splashes and splashes and gets anyone nearby quite wet! We are really enjoying this stage of Jacob's life. He seems to be more fun each and every day!
As mentioned above, Jimmy and I had Jacob baptized Sunday at Franklin First United Methodist Church. We had been attending for several months and joined the church this past December. Jacob did pretty well during the baptismal ceremony. He wasn't incredibly happy when I handed him over to the minister but he only gave a whimper and a pouty face. It was so wonderful to celebrate this great event with our family! Here we are after his baptism with our family.

Love the monkey cake! And the baptism outfit is really cute as well. We just had a sermon about baptism and it made me remember how special that day is for a mom - congratulations!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday and Baptism. You did a great job on the cake! So glad Jacob enjoyed it. Keely is right, what a special day for you all. Welcome to God's Kingdom, Jacob!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe our boys are getting so big! The cake pictures are priceless of Jacob. I love the monkey cake too! How sweet too that Jacob was baptized his first birthday weekend! That is the church we got married in. It's a great church. We went there for a while but have finally found one out here in Spring Hill.
