The start of school!

With my stoneware racks. He had a blast with these.

This about sums it up, John chewing on a clone trooper. He has tons of one year old toys and he walks around with the Star Wars figures or a lightsaber!John with the balloon from his birthday. This entertained him for awhile, it was cute!

Getting his name tag on at his desk.

Hayden and his friend were excited to see each other. They were in the same class last year but not this year.

Hayden's first day of school. We always take a picture in front of the door.

John likes to be on the computer too. He was moving the remote around like a mouse. The kid is even more observate that Hayden!

Well, we're in our second week of school now. Hayden is officially a first grader. School started last week and he already has a day off on Friday for parent/teacher conferences. It's going good and he's making new friends. Plus he has some of the same kids in his class from last year. He likes his teacher, she's great! He's still adjusting to the long day, he comes home really tired but it's going well.

John and I are settling back into a routine and trying to get his naps back on schedule with school. We walk Hayden to school most mornings but a couple of times Heath has driven him. When they leave the house, John cries! Before long, he'll be trying to go to school with Hayden. He is doing good. Got another tooth and several more bumps and bruises as you'll see in the pictures. He throws little tantrums now. He runs off and sits down and hits his head on the floor. They don't last long and it's usually pretty funny until he hurts himself. He wants to do everything Hayden does. He likes his toys until the big boy toys come out and then he wants to play with them. He's pretty funny. He's sleeping through the night and almost weaned completely. He's drinking whole milk now and he does good with that. He's talking more and sometimes it sounds like he's trying to say a word. Can't tell you what word but he tries anyway. Not much else going on, we are enjoying being lazy until soccer and cub scouts start next month!

Week 52- Happy Birthday John

This was last week. Heath pulled out all his old army stuff for Hayden and John wanted to play too. He put this on himself. It's the inner liner so not heavy!

John in his new fire car "I think I might like this present!" John had more fun with the paper than anything else! I'm having fun now!

Yummy cake!! We sang Happy Birthday while I held John's hands so he didn't touch the lit candle and then he dug right in. He really liked the cake and ate a big piece! He kept looking around as he was shoving cake in his mouth like it was too good and someone was going to take it away from him!

John's cake plus he had a little smash cake just for him!

John is a year old!! We had a party with a few friends on Sunday the 2nd. We had cake and opened presents and John loved it! The above pics show the fun. We went to the doctor today for his checkup. He weighs 22 lbs and is 30.5 inches. We had to have shots today so he's been a little fussy. He has however been sleeping through the night the past couple of nights. Hopefully that will continue. That's about all for now. We are gearing up for school to start. We find out who Hayden's teacher will be on Friday and then school starts Tuesday!
