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.
Thanks Bubbie and Zayde for Jack’s Chanukah present!
Jack loves the birthday card that arrived in the mail yesterday from Aunt Stacy and Uncle Marc. Thanks guys!
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.
Jack has officially started to walk. Over the past week he went from taking his first steps to strolling across the family room.
Jack enjoyed opening an early birthday present from his savta. Little does he know what the rest of the month holds.
We have a new playground in the neighborhood, and Jack is a fan.
