Happy 1st Birthday Jett!

We started off our sweet boy's 1st birthday with a little family celebration.  We woke up and sang Happy Birthday together, Ava Kate was already singing Happy Birthday before he was even awake, she was so excited!  Then she helped him open his birthday presents, she picked out a Dumbo birthday card for him and stacking blocks like the ones she had when she was a baby until she ate them all!  We got our ball obsesssed boy a little ball shooting toy along with a trampoline from all the family which still needs to be assembled.  After playing with his new toys for a while we celebrated with some cinnamon rolls before Justin and Ava Kate had to go to school.  I took the day off to spend with my little one year old.  We went to Mine By Design and picked out his special birthday plate and put his little footprint on the bottom.  Then we had lunch with Grandma at Jason's Deli, where he enjoyed one of his favorites, macaroni and cheese.  After lunch we met Nana at the zoo.  Jett loved it!  He tried to leap out of our arms several times to join the animals.  He especially loved the otters, giraffe and monkeys!  And he decided to start walking while we were at the zoo too!  Then we headed home for a nap.  That evening we met all of our family at Rosa's for one of his other favorites, rice and beans.  After dinner we came back to our house for his first cupcake and to watch his birthday video of his first year of photos that his daddy made him.  It was a perfect day of celebrating our sweet boy!
