Happy 1st birthday Jack!

Look at a me I'm 1 today! The birthday festivities started on friday evening. I had a wonderful steak and potatoe dinner, my fav. After dinner Daddy brought out a big "red" cupcake. Emma choose the red one for me. No one is quite sure why.

It was delicious. I never hesitated once. I just dug right in..all the way up my elbows. After cupcakes it was straight to the bath for me. After bath..present time!

I got my big boy chair...look at me sooo big!! I climb right on up by myself!

Then my wonderful big sister helped me open the wrapped presents. I got to play with the paper after and maybe the toy if I was lucky.

Saturday was party day. It was very warm outside and we all played in the backyard. My newest trick is climbing all the way up the slide. A little scarey for mommy to watch.

Then more cake! This is great!

I couldn't even wait to get outside.

I impressed everyone with my fork skills. Hey if there was frosting on the fork every time of course I would use it and not throw it on the floor.

It was a great birthday weekend surrounded by family and friends. Thank you everyone.

Swan Boats and Ducklings Statue

We had a goregous day at the Public Garden. (okay, so it was a month ago from the post date!)

Emma was so excited after reading Make Way for Ducklings to go for s Swan Boat ride and to see the duckling statue. Alot of the excitment happened just on the "T" ride in. A real train ride like Daddy does to go to work...so exciting!

Mommy and Jack enjoying a smile together. (some funny business behind the camera:-))

Not our boat, but one we went by.

"The ducky family...like in the book", Emma said.

And finally we get to the duckling statues. Emma had to sit on every single one!

And finally Mama duck!

Emma was a sleep before we even left the garden and slept the whole, very loud, "T" ride home...tired baby:-(
