Jasper turned 1 on Friday.

My soft squishy baby is just adorable.

I just can't stop giving him kisses and admiring how smart he is. He mimics any word he hears you say. I guess only a Mommy could love the garbled phonic syllables. Of course, a stranger might not. But that makes being a Mommy unique.

He's still our #1 picky eater except when it comes to pizza.

And I still haven't put shoes on him, but his walking skills are amazing. I think it adds to his cuteness. I'm just a little biased if you can tell.

Ruby is still his best friend and sings to him during car rides-- usually the whole car ride. Ruby is definitely the singer in the family.

And finally, he's gotten a lot better with his naps unless a little person starts screaming in the next room at which point he immediately awakens.

Parker's been a big help in putting him down for his naps; he claims he's learned a special technique for the greatest success. He says he's the one with the most power. Come to think of it, I just might agree.
