Jenson update: 1 year old!

Jenson’s first year went by so fast.  So fast that I couldn’t keep up with the posts and he’s already 13 months!  He became incredibly verbal in his 12th month, but he’s usually quiet around other people.  He imitates sounds and syllables very accurately.  He’s

Review: Kidecals Labels and Decals

Kidecals contacted me awhile back and asked if I was interested in doing a review on their labels.  I checked out their website, read about the products, and said “yes please!”.  They have so many options, styles, and colors, that I was almost a little 

A boy and his dog

I love this picture.  They were waiting for gramma and pappap to arrive the day before Jenson’s birthday party.  Boof is funny with Jenson.  She wants to be near him often, but not quite “touching distance”, unless she wants to lick his face.  Or if

Jenson’s First Birthday Party

Jenson’s first birthday party was a great day!  It was relaxed and casual, even if I was rushing to get everything done in time.  Luckily my parents came the night before and my mom helped me with a bunch of stuff.  I even left her

Jenson’s first birthday was Monday, October 6.  I left work early to spend some extra time with him.  That morning, he said bye bye and waved to me for the first time.  It was like he suddenly grew up! He also became a serious mockingbaby

Jenson really started mocking our words and sounds this week.  He was chewing on his baby toothbrush one morning and I said “do you have your toothbrush?”  He said “toothbrush” perfectly clear.  Mary Louise heard it too – we were both shocked!  He can repeat
