Happy Birthday Jack!

Here is my Jack! He loves fall already because of the crackling noise he gets when he steps on leaves. Look at what a little boy he has turned into!

Yesterday, Jack turned 2 years old. When he turned 1, it wasn't hard at all, but 2 was really hard for me. It's just been such a wonderful and special time for us. I didn't want to see it end. I think it's because the twins are here now and so we have moved into another phase of life. It's just sort of hit me on his birthday. It's going to be a wonderful phase too, but it's hard to leave the other behind. You know?
Jack is so much fun right now. We have little conversations at lunch everyday, go on walks where he runs around and laughs, he gets so excited about little things, but he still comes up and wants a hug everyday. My favorite thing is when he calls for me in the morning when he wakes up. "Mama!"
Jack's greatest loves are football, all kinds of sports balls actually, spaghetti, cookies, going to the park, cartoons (uhhhh), and his family :).

We had just a few families over for pizza, cake and presents. I made my first ever cake from scratch! I cut it into the shape of a football and made chocholate frosting so it would look like a football. I was really proud - and it even tasted good!

He was SO excited for the football cake. It made me so happy :)

Jack is funny to open presents with. He opens something and doesn't want to move on to the next gift. First thing he opened, he didn't want to let go of the card. Then he opened a truck and didn't want to stop playing with it. We knew to save the drum for the end. After he opened the drum, he didn't stop beating for over an hour.
