A big big thank you to Bubbie for serving as baby wrangler on this quick shoot during magic hour.
Brookside Gardens on a warm day last month. Noon is not the best time of day for photos, but I couldn’t help grabbing a few.
Jack loves clementines, and ate two for breakfast this morning.
Carrying on a family tradition that is more than three decades old, we took Jack for his first visit to the holiday trains at a Baltimore fire house. As little kids, our parents took us to see these trains, and we couldn’t wait to share them with J.
We took Jack to visit the aquarium to celebrate his birthday. He loved the turtles and jellyfish. The big tubes of bubbles were also a hit, Ryan and I loved them when we were little too.
I can’t believe my baby is one! Jack can now walk across a room, his vocabulary includes “oh wow!”, “ball” and “hi,” and he loves to cuddle with his giraffe lovie. Jack knows which toys belong to Ollie and holds them out for the dog. His all time favorite toy is a yellow wooden ball, although the birthday present from his Uncle Ira is quickly taking the ball’s place.
We are so proud of our little man. Jack is adventurous, confident, always smiling and cute as a button. We could not be any more in love with this sweetheart, and I can’t imagine my life without his infectious laughter. Happy birthday Jack!

A heartfelt thank you and I love you to our wonderful friends and family who made yesterday so special for Jack. I can’t imagine this year without your love and support. Jack, Ryan and I are so lucky to have you in our lives.
