Yep, it's official. Jacob is now a toddler! (No, he is not quite walking. He can take 6-7 steps at the most). It has been a wonderful year for our family. We love our little kiddo!
We were fortunate to have Grandma and Grandpa Lyon here from Colorado for the weekend of his birthday. So, we took advantage of the occasion to hav
e a family dinner and birthday party for Jacob.
The menu included: Teriyaki Chicken Sandwiches (courtesy of Dave's awesome BBQ skills), chips, fruit salad and some cooked veggies.
For dessert? a slice of homemade Neapolitan Cake (a strawberry and chocolate layer cake with strawberry frosting in the middle and cream cheese frosting on the outside, topped
off with chocolate sprinkles and salt water taffy.)
What did the birthday boy think of all of this? Dinner was great. Opening presents was a lot of fun. He couldn't be bothered to try any birthday cake or ice cream. He put up such a fuss that we couldn't even get him in the high chair.
This is the closest that Jacob would get to his cake. Just before we sang to him he reach out and took out a handful of frosting. We were lucky enough to catch this on camera!
All he wanted to do at the end of the evening was go back downstairs and play with his new toys! He especially loved the push toy that he received from Grandma and Grandpa Lyon.
We had so much fun with his birthday party that we decided to do it all over again the next night with Dave's side of the family! We had fun watching a slide show that Dave and I put together of Jacob's first year, opening presents and eating cake. Well, almost all of us enjoyed it. Jacob again did not want anything to do with his birthday cake! Funny kid!
