One & a Half

My December birthday self always longed for a half-birthday celebration!
We did it last year for Jay and have enjoyed his half birthday this year too.

Loving every bite of his half-birthday breakfast!

One of sister's favorites too!
Kirkley insisted we hit the store after breakfast to get him some presents.
She told him the whole time we were in the toy section to shut his eyes.
We came out with his first little carry along train set and matchbox car!

Lunch at the pool....

Showing off his kicking and swimming...
 We keep telling him to shut his mouth -- for some reason, he's doing his eyes instead!
He did awesome at the pool today (minus a dirty diaper), and had a blast hanging in the one foot pool.

People kept telling us boys are different, and he has been sooo different from his sister.
He's totally tenderhearted -- trying to toughen up his tears some!
He's a man of few words -- besides "DA!" -- he is a TOTAL daddy's boy and will jump from me to get to Alex!
He's a super helper -- tries to put his milk away and got Alex a trash bag out the other day after he'd taken it out.
He loves bananas -- we considered having him walk in Whitney's wedding and holding a banana at the end of the aisle to lure him to us.
He is a morning person like his sister -- we've seen 4:30am several times this week (or Alex has anyway) -- his last incisors we're hoping.
He loves his sissy and loves being all in her space!
He also loves sour things (like his sister!) so his half birthday treat tonight was key lime pie!
He's loved getting sung to all day!


We are so enjoying our little man!  Happy 1.5 Jay!

Hey! So, you are finally updating again! So fun!!! Question - where did you get the floaties? I have heard those are good ones...the kind that go around their arms and torso. I have nothing for Kate so we are not venturing to the pool. Advice here?

More posts, please!!!
