It's been a while (again)

so I better post more photos. I haven't been taking as many as I should so there aren't many to choose from and I haven't uploaded a lot of photos because of computer problems that we're working on.

I got this shirt from a 5K. I can only assume they got an insurance discount for the almost reflective T-shirts. Jehan was learning colors at the time and he picked up "orange" (originally pronounce "unna") very quickly.

Firdosh enjoyed annoying the neighbors with his Halloween costume. Jehan was so cute in his panda bear costume. It was for babies up to 24 months and he could barely fit in it. He would even roar if you asked him "what does a panda bear say?"

Jehan is starting to use sentences. He's been a chatter box for a while now but now we're starting to understand what he's saying. His first sentence was last Monday. He said "Bracken eating cracker" and then "Mummy eating cracker." Tonight while I was putting him to bed Firdosh turned the light on the humidifier off and he said "Dada, light on. Dada turning. Blue light. Dada turn off blue light." That was awesome to listen to him putting the words together! I think all babies his age are doing the same thing in their heads but Jehan puts it all out there for us to hear and I love it.

I'll post some photos from India soon but we didn't take many so don't expect much :)

Some pictures I've been meaning to post

This is my first sprinkler repair job. A little messy but it's holding so far :)

Daddy and Baby Bracken on the beach before Brooke's graduation.

Congrats Brooke!! (and Bracken, Corey, Courtney, Candice, and Shawn!)

Last Mother's Day I didn't expect that I'd be taking my baby skinny dipping this year. We had lots of fun at Brooke's in-laws and Jehan experienced his first pool. Too bad Daddy wasn't there to get in with him!

The day we came home, both the boys were so tired. We'd had a busy weekend! We went to see the shuttle launch and on the way the boys both fell asleep.

This is what we saw of the shuttle launch... nothing!

We did hear a distant rumble though :)

These pictures are from before Jehan's birthday party. He had so much fun moving drinks from one tub to the other. When the ice came out he kept trying to eat it.

Jehan's first birthday!

First thanks to Steph for the photos. I didn't have time to take any! We were very busy but it was lots of fun. I can't believe he's already one!

I made the cake :) It took a long time but now I know how to do it and it's not nearly as hard as I made it.

Jehan didn't actually eat any candy but he sure thought it was fun to play with.

It didn't take him long to figure out what presents were about. He loves looking in bags now to see what surprises are inside!

These are just a few shots of him opening presents. He got so many cute toys to play with. We're trying to spread out the fun so we still haven't gotten to all of them. Thanks to everyone who came and made his first birthday so special!
