My baby, Zayne, is now one.

I can't believe Zayne is one year old already.  This past year has gone by so fast.  At times I feel like we just had him and yet he feels like he has been part of our family forever.  We had a great day mixed with some fun emotions.  Zayne loves to be outdoors and we spent at least 2 hours outside playing.  Apparently the weather was warm enough that we all got a little sun as well.  Then we had Zayne's grandparents over for cake and ice cream.  We also had Aunt Jena and Uncle Jared over and for some reason Zayne had a really hard time with Uncle Jared.  Every time he looked at him, he would tear up and start to cry.  In fact this happened right as we were getting ready to open presents.  See below.

Zayne was also the first of my boys who actually tried to eat his cake and seemed to enjoy it.  It was fun to watch. 

Zayne got a lot of fun books and some great motor skill building toys.  He loves everything that he got and is having a blast with all of his new things.   All in all I think it was a great day for Zayne.  Happy Birthday!!!

We have a walker!! Enjoying hopefully the last snow storm of the year.

So my baby has decided to quit being a chicken and start walking.  He isn't fully there and still needs a little help and motivation.  But when he wants to, he is walking.  He turns 1 in 2 weeks, so check back for that posting.  I wish I had pictures.  I'll add one as soon as I get one.


So my 2 older boys and I decided to get out and enjoy what will hopefully be the last snow storm of the year.  We never really had any good storms on a day where we could go out and play in it.  So it was nice to have this day to do that.  The boys really wanted a fort/tunnel.  So this is our attempt.  They also made a little snow hill and had some fun sledding down that.  We amazingly made this fort, shoveled the walks, and had some time to play while Zayne took his nap.  We had a lot of fun, but we are now ready for warm weather to be outside in.
