A Seussical Celebration



Today you are you!
That is truer than true!
There is no one alive
who is you-er than you!

Dr. Seuss (Happy Birthday to You)

Someone just turned one,
Oh how we celebrated and had such fun.




The birthday boy, was cuter than cute,
dressed in more than just his birthday suit.


A few rhymes how they hung,
a reminder to some of the childhood songs that were once sung.

 
An amazing cake,
that was also yummy, for goodness sake!
 

Just a few of the details on the cake
that was ate...
A fish in the bowl,
from the Cat in the Hat.

 

His brother was there,
to show that yes, he does really care!

A smaller treat,
just for you to eat!


A kite and a ball,
many details, all in all.

A brother who wore red,
a shirt with 'Dr. Seuss', it said!

Foods inspired by the books,
oh, the rhymes, that deserved second looks!

("Sneetches Treats"--M&Ms)

A few gold fish,
in a clear colored dish!

(One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish...)

A table with sweets,
and other nice treats!


And what's a party without a little green eggs and ham,
Oh, how I liked them, I am surely quite a fan!


That cake and the first bite,
it sure was a good sight!

A few signs for the birthday boy,
we were definitely not coy!



The Pink Ink Drink,
that was so gross it went down the sink!
 
Green eggs they were served,
in a bowl that was curved.


The table of sweets....
brought many friends to eat, eat, eat!


A banner was hung,
with photos from 12 months strung.

Oh what a treat to have shown,
just how much you have grown!


You tried the cake,
but not a fuss did you make.


For what excitement for you,
when you opened a package or two!


The presents were fun,
all for you, my sweet son!


Happy First Birthday to you, my Dearest Jackson!!

Eleven Months

Jackson is 11 months old!  We are counting down the days until his first birthday celebration!

 Jackson is very flexible...

 He loves to climb, in fact he climbed half way up our stairs!  He is quite the little monkey!

 He has discovered all of the fun kitchen supplies that are stored behind the cabinet doors.

 He is so strong, he can even lift a heavy measuring bowl.

 And...he thinks it's so funny to shmush the bowl against his nose.

 And then...do a little stirring.

That's Jackson...up close and personal.  

Friends

This year, we watched the Superbowl with the Strunks.  It is always nice to spend time with friends.  It is wonderful to have friends who have children in the same age group as Dustin and Jackson--it really gives the boys and opportunity to have fun with friends!

 Dustin was focused on Mr. David's reading.

 Dustin and Jackson chased each other around in circles for such a long time.  It was exhausting to watch, but their giggling was proof of the good time that was had.

 Adam and Jackson followed one another on cars around the pool table.

 Jackson, Adam and Dustin all enjoyed the train track set up on the table.

Everyone had a good time!

Ten Months--A Little Delayed

Although Jackson is now 11 months old, we have yet to post his 10 month photos.  This past month has been C-R-A-Z-Y.  More about that later.  For now, Jackson at 10 months:

 He does a wonderful job of holding his own bottle (even when the one in the 10 is backward)!  And yes, he is getting very long!

 He still enjoys stealing the numbers!  He has such a happy personality!

 Everything goes into the mouth...

 Then, when it "disappears", he turns into the search party.

 He is like a little monkey...climbing and reaching.

 Sometimes mommy can fool him and hide the numbers.

 He does enjoy spending time with big brother!
