We made a BIG deal out of G’s birthday this year because we all had the flu on his first birthday. We had a family party on the 22nd and then he opened his presents from Adam, K and I on the 23rd. He got a semi-truck and trailer first, but we had trouble getting it out of the box. He was so focused on his truck, he had trouble focusing on any other presents. He would open a present and then say “Can I play with my truck?” It was adorable. He is such a little ham and he talks non-stop. He definitely talks more than K did at this age and his vocabulary is so well developed.

So happy!

K used money from her piggy bank and shopped for G. She helped wrap the gift and she wrote his name and her name on the outside. She was so proud!

K was so excited for him to open the present she bought him.

He loved his cake!

We have been so blessed to have MJ as part of our family. For those of you who don’t know, she was named after me with a little modification.  She is small like K was but she is a lot longer. She is currently between 11 and 12 pounds and she is 24 inches long. She is a pleasant, laid-back little girl. G loves his little sister and he is still learning how to help and how to be gentle. K adores her little sister and she loves to carry MJ around. I have to remind her that MJ is not a baby doll. Here are some pictures from October until now. We take a picture of her every month (the Christmas pictures were here 3 month photos). Sorry the pictures are out of order! I haven’t figured that out yet.
