Asparagus Festival

Last weekend we went to the Asparagus Festival in Stockton. It is really fun to taste the delicious things they make with asparagus. We were able to attend last year with my family when were visiting Ripon for Jeremiah's baby shower. It is so fun to start comparing events from year to year. However, a part of me is sad that we are past a lot of your firsts! I am looking forward to Easter with Jeremiah this year. He was born the day after Easter last year.

Last year- Jeremiah was only 3 weeks old.

Life of a one year old

Jeremiah says: 

Hi

Bye-bye

Daddy

Kitty

Uh-oh

Ah boo while playing peek-a-boo

Animal noises- kitty, lion, snake, monkey, doggie

 Hello while holding his hand to his ear like a telephone or when the phone rings

He can:

Blow kisses

Wave hi and bye

Raises hands when you ask how big are you

Signs the words more and please

Loves

Playing outside

Going for walks in his new wagon

Snacking

Bath time

Blankie and pacifier

Paging through books

Our kitty

Climbing the stairs

Being chased and tickled

Chewing on the coffee table or crib

Listening and trying to play the guitar and piano

Hates

Getting out of the bath

Getting his face and hands wiped

When I Close the fridge or cupboards

Drinking from a sippy cup

Jeremiah is ONE!

We had so much fun celebrating our little man. On Saturday we had a party at our house for family and friends. The weather ended up being perfect. It started out a little cloudy and windy but the sun decided to shine. I was thankful it didn't get any hotter or colder or we would have had to party inside. It was so much fun handmaking things for the party (bib, cupcake tower, 1 shirt). Here was our John Deere fun!

 (favors- each kid got to take home a ball- I think they all loved it!)



On his actual birthday (Tuesday, April 5 2011) we made pancakes and strawberries for breakfast, took a walk to the park, opened more presents, and got frozen yogurt after dinner. It was his first time trying any kind of ice cream. At first he did not like how cold it was but once he got over that he loved the taste. We also put a candle in it since on his party it was a little too windy for the candle. When I told him to blow out the candle he started blowing kisses. Such a sweet boy!

I feel so blessed to be Jeremiah's mom. He is such a sweet, funny, curious, talkative, loving, adorable little boy. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching him grow this past year and can not wait to see what the next year holds. Love you Jeremiah!
