Chase LOVES corn on the cob...he ate every single kernel off that one!

My silly second born Chase...he is not a camera fan, but I did manage to capture these.

He is so fun, he has calmed down a ton recently, but he is so stubborn, like his Mama. He just loves to play and adores his siblings. He is excited to be starting school in September. I can't believe he is 3.5 in many ways he seems like he should be 6 and other ways I still see him as the crazy haired gorgeous newborn I brought home from the hospital.

This jacket and hat came from our Boden preview order. It is so so cute! The jacket is the softest jersey ever and the hat, is super soft as well. I love Boden...especially at 20% off with free shipping and free returns, ha!

Ok, back to the old format, I just like this better.... Sydney in her gorgeous Matilda Jane Party Dress. Seriously, this dress is gorgeous, the pictures do not do it justice.

Jacob's Actual Birthday 7-26-09

I can't even believe it has been a whole year since this little bundle of joy and love joined our family. He is just such an amazing little guy. He is so happy and just loves to play. He adores his Daddy and lights up when he comes home from work. He says a few things like "mama" "dada" "ba" "nuhnuh" He can stand alone but hasn't taken steps. He does walk with our hands but not alone. I am actually secretly (or not so secretly since I am blogging it) happy that he is still so much a baby. I love carying him around and having him cuddle into my shoulder. When he crawls over to me with his hands up I love it. He is in the 75th percentile for height and 20th for weight, just like he has been all along. He has met all milestones for his age and is doing great.

This little blond headed baby has just enriched our lives in so many ways. I can't wait to see what the next 365 days will bring for him.

These pictures he was sporting his Cincinnati Bearcats gear for his god parents Tim and Lisa. They actually couldn't come over after all so they didn't get to see his team spirit ;-)
