Jude had his 1st Birthday Yesterday! We went all out with a big party and Football Theme (:
Jude and Brooklyn's favorite babysitter (Who moved here from Valparaiso soon after us!) and her parents who we LOVE, as well as my Mission companion who was in town from Taiwan and some students and our new friends (The woman who baptized my companion 16 years ago!) came to celebrate with us. 4 other of our friends came - but weren't in the photo.
I asked Trey what kind of cake I should make and he said "Definitely a football!" So I went with it (: Jude's favorite toys are balls - footballs, tennis balls, racquetballs, oranges.... He was just born with this fascination with them. So this was a good summery of his first year I guess.
I made oreo balls, then coated them with brown and white chocolate to make mini footballs to go along with the cake.
Trey got him his first football for his birthday (:
Here's a bit of a summary of our Jude-bug so far:
A little mischief Maker
A very cool dude - who loves to be carried by Mommy
Funny face Maker (:
Tongue artist
Happy
An outdoors man - he is always happiest outside and makes a fuss if I ever bring him inside. When inside, his favorite past time is standing out the window, watching the world go by.
Loves his Grandpas
Little Daredevil
Loves his Daddy and Sister
Is the Big Man! Still 90th percentile in everything (But weight - we have some issues with him wanting anything other than Mommy's Milk!)
We have come so far...
