First Birthday

Jakob had a great first birthday!  On Sunday, July 22nd, Nana and PaPa came for a visit to celebrate his birthday.  Jakob loved his new toys, including a light-up ball, telephone and pop-up turtle.  Dinner was a bit of a disaster since the propane on the grill went out during preparation so we had hamburgers and hot dogs via stove top and corn in the microwave.  The Grill Master had nothing to master! Since Jakob didn't like the horrible tasting food, that left more room for cake!  His cake was a rainbow cake Alphabet cube, spelling "JAKE".  Mom was disappointed in how it turned out and definitely didn't claim to be a professional.  

Jakob's "true" first birthday was a hot one!  It was 107 degrees, which wasn't much different than what we've experienced all of July.  Mom thought she was going to have to take Jakob to daycare and go to work but he took a good morning nap so she was able to play with him all day.  We went to the pool and had some fun in the sun!  He enjoyed all of his birthday greetings from Noni and Lito, McClain cousins and Aunt Kate.  He also got a second "cake" of banana bread and devoured it.  He knew what to do this time!
