Meet the Fullers

Spring has been pretty cool around here, so we took advantage of a lovely early May afternoon to walk to Proksa Park and try out the baby swings. Jack seemed a bit unsure, but once he got a good hold (he tried several) he seemed to feel more comfortable. It was a lovely walk-one I've missed since being back to work.

Jack may also have been a little cranky because his first tooth finally cracked the surface today! At 11 months and 1 week, he seems to have been on the "late" end of getting teeth, but better late than never. He was cranky the week before as well when my parents came in to visit: he normally doesn't want us to hold him--he wants to go!--but he didn't want anyone to put him down. Since tooth one was fast followed by teeth 2, 3, and possibly 4, it's no wonder the little man was so cranky.

We hosted Nana and Grammy Rose for my first Mother's day here at the house. John and I had photo albums made of Jack's first year to give to the grandmothers; we deemed it a success because within the first few pages they were tearing up. John gave me a really nice new (larger) diaper bag that I can use as a work bag later, and the grandmas went in on Pottery Barn gift cards for me as well.

We had a lunch of chicken salad, croissants, potato salad, fruit salad, and Magnolia Bakery vanilla cupcakes, and celebrated the day with cava mimosas. Such a nice afternoon! And of course there was lots of grandparent time with Jacky.

We've been switching Jack to all self feeding for about a month, but we thought it was time to see if he could do anything with the spoon. He doesn't get much on the spoon, but he's getting the idea. Soon after he learned to say "yay!"

Happy First Birthday, Jack! You are such a light in our lives, and we love you so much!
