Easter 2010

Our little guy was so cute going for the eggs. He wasn't greedy yet. He found one egg then he went for another. We did 3 different Easter egg hunts.

1 Grammie's church
2 Granny's church
3 Nana's house

When we were at Granny's church I think he had a little crush on the Preacher's daughter. He wanted to touch her face. She just stood there and let him do it. It was soooo cute!

He was excited to get all his new Elmo gear. He is in love with "Elba"

It's so precious.

Birthday BOY!

Well, our little guy is turning into a little man! He's 1 year OLD!!!



That doesn't seem quite possible. I'm excited though. We went to a friend's birthday party yesterday. Lena, she was born on Jasper's actual due date March 8th...



They were so cute together. Jasper promptly poked her in the eye as soon as he could get over to her and approach her. Maybe he was checking to see if she was real or if she was another moving toy that we were showing him. It is kinda hard to tell these days with all the high tech toys. Anyway, he had a great birthday last week with TONS of friends and family. Thank you ALL by the way for all the support, love, and presents you bestowed on the birthday boy! :)



He has been up to his eyeballs in books, balls, and new toys. We had him dressed in one of his new outfits on Sunday when we went to the birthday party. Everyone thought he was soooo cute!



I did my best on the cake, eventhough it was down to the LAST minute and then some when it came time to decorate. It will definitely be a memorable one. I can't wait to do his party next year when he can really react and interact with everyone. He's already doing so well with talking and walking. He actually needs to have a doctor's appointment soon. I will update you when we know more about what he weighs and where he is at on the growth curve.

My little Valentine

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to give a quick update. Little Jaspy is getting closer and closer to the big 1 YEAR! We are having a birthday party at my mom's house this weekend. It is going to be Dumbo themed. Here are a couple pics I snapped of him in his Dumbo ears. There should DEFINITELY be more to come after Saturday!

2010 UPDATE

Hey there!

Well, I just wanted to do a NEW YEARS update. Yesterday our flying wonderbaby crawled out of his crib. Yes, our 10 month old Hercules is officially a wild crazy climber. He also pulled himself up over our baracade in the basement with sheer arms strength so that he could climb up the steps to the kitchen. Needless to say we are in the business of watching him every single second!

He also had his first official cold. He was on Anti-biotics for the last 10 days. He had an upper respiratory infection which was not pleasant.

He was very and is still VERY much interested in the Christmas Tree. He wasn't as interested in the presents or unwrapping them. I guess next year we can see him go ga-ga! He DEFINITELY likes all the stuff he got, though. He has been playing non-stop with the tent and tunnel Donald and I got him and he also loves his gumball machine. He is CRAZY for Bouncing Balls in general. I got him a rather large blue ball and he is so strong, he picks it up and throws it across the basement! He loves to play catch and is very smiley all the time! ;)

He is walking all over and can't be stopped. He likes to throw a fit if you try. But you forgive him as soon as he gives you kisses. He is so adorable. He gives me the most (*evil laugh*). He will kiss all up and down my arms and face and legs and even my feet. He is my little dumpling baby. I love him so much.

For New Years we got together with a few friends and had some yummy food and good conversation. I feel so bad for Dick Clark. He is a real trooper but it's painful to watch such a sad display. I feel even worse for him because he had to deal with Ryan Seacrest. He was probably trying to hit on him the whole time. Bleh-crest!

Anyway... I hope this update finds you all well and in good spirits. I hope you all have a FANTASTIC- STUPENDOUS - AMAZING - GLORIOUS - WONDERFUL - STUPENDOUS - 2010!

Halloween

I guess I am finally getting back into the swing of things. Here are some of the REALLY cute Halloween pics I got of the baby. On actual Halloween we were going to go to the pumpkin patch but then it rained so much we couldn't they closed the farm early. SO, we ended up going faux trick or treating. Basically we used the baby to get "pity candy" but, hey, it worked. Then we actually ran into a few people we knew, too! (Penny, Brenda, Mark, Lauren). It was a lot of fun and a little scary.... especially when my dad and I drove past a solo trick or treat-er dressed as Michael Meyers toting a shiny knife. CREEPY! Anyway... Donald was Santa Claus (a multi-use costume which Jasper thought was HILARIOUS -He kept pulling on Donald's beard and laughing), I was grapes, and Jasper was a Chicken. He also had a cute outfit with a pumpkin hat that my mom got him. Enjoy!
