Happy Birthday!

Jacob had such a wonderful birthday, full of fun! It began with his gift from Momma and Daddy (near the tree, not under!). He was so excited to play with his new kitchen, it kept him busy all morning!



After his morning nap, we all headed to the Dallas World Aquarium downtown. We had a great time learning about all the different fish, birds, and reptiles. Jacob truly enjoyed watching the otters and manatee swim by him and see the sharks swim above. It was great to watch him actually following the animals and show interest in what they were doing! We particularly liked watching the penguins, even though there were only two!!





When we got home, it was time for Jacob's afternoon nap. Afterwards, we met our photographer, Terry, in downtown McKinney for his one year pictures. It was definitely colder than we expected, but he was a trooper!


We have been truly blessed this past year and look back on all the wonderful things we've experienced with great thanksgiving. It's hard to believe all we've been through, from the middle of the night feedings to worrying about Jacob's lack of weight gain and to see our little boy grow into a happy and healthy one! The great thing to know is that the adventure has just begun!
