The Conetta Family: Jack Turns One!!!

There was mixed emotion leading up to Jack's first birthday, and both tears and smiles came from this mommy. On one hand, I was so blessed and happy to have a growing, healthy one year old. But on the other hand, I experienced this year 1st hand how time really does fly. It feels like yesterday we were bring our brand new baby home from the hospital, and then we blinked and our little baby had grown a whole year. It was a true blessing to watch this little man grow each day!!!

We visited Dr. Hjort on Jack's birthday for his one year check up. Jack had a great visit, and Dr. Hjort spent time examining Jack and answering all of mommy's questions. Jack was 19.6 lbs and 29.5 inches tall.

Since Jack was such a good boy at the doctor's, we stopped on the way home to get him a cupcake to celebrate his birthday. We also wanted to do a "practice run" for Jack with his birthday smash cake, since his big party was the next day. Mommy and Daddy sang happy birthday, and we geared up for the big cupcake eating event. It was pretty disappointing! Jack really wanted nothing to do with the cupcake, and was happy to get it off his tray. Oh well, better luck tomorrow!

We threw Jack a first birthday party, and had 60 people in our small house.....it was crazy!! We feel so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family in our lives that love our little guy so much. With the craziness of the party, one of our biggest regrets is that we have very limited pictures of the party. Mommy and Daddy were so busy that we didn't take time for the three of us to take any pictures. It was a special day for all of us!
