Madison....The Kindergartener

What a year it's been.  Madison ventured off to Kindergarten in August 2011 and has completed her first year of formal schooling.  She has learned to read and write and does math pretty well too.  We are so excited for her!  Here are a few first day and last day pictures.

Jackson Celebrates His First Birthday

He really didn't need any help in knowing what to do with a wrapped present....he had lots of training just a few weeks ago!

We really didn't have a big party for him and no theme (4th child syndrome) but I did make him a football birthday cake....considering he might be a linebacker some day! He weighs 26 lbs 4 oz (90th percentile).

At first he just touched the cake with his finger....

...then picked up the whole thing...

...then stuffed it in his mouth!

And a first birthday post wouldn't be complete without some videos....here he enjoys playing with the toy before it's even out of the box!

...and when it's all put together he enjoys pushing it...

...and playing with it.

....Carson enjoys it nearly as much.

"Happy Birthday to You"

Teaching him how to blow out the candles.

And a little video of the tasting....

And one of his favorite things to do.....
