One week to go

Holy heck - only one week until my baby boy is 1 year old. Where did the last year go?!

Our boy is taking 'stranger danger' to a whole new level. Jonathon, Jackson and I were out at Buffalo Wild Wings the other night and there was a waitress that took an interest in Jackson. She'd talk to him and he'd just panic. He'd try to get out of his high chair to get to me, and he'd just start crying. It's not limited to restaurants - it's grocery stores, running errands, etc. He used to be the friendliest baby, and now he's a straight up 'momma's boy'.

J's new obsession is cheese omlets. I make him a 1 egg and cheese omlet each morning. I hope his cholesterol doesn't get too high from that.... He'll eat just about anything though. The only food I've found that he *possibly* doesn't like is spinach ravioli. We only tried it once - so we'll see! His favorite place to eat is the Olive Garden. What a goof.

We're busy planning Jackson's 1st birthday party. We decided to save a few different themes for future birthdays and we'd just do a simple character theme this year. We're doing 'Toy Story 3'. We're just having a dinner party with our friends here that have acted like family since we're away from 'home'. Jon's mom is also coming into town for the weekend. I ordered the invites - and they looked great....except we omitted the date. Great. We had cleared the day with everyone in advance, so no big deal. However, I was fully irritated for days....ok, I'm still irritated. But, everyone talked me out of ordering new ones. I'll get one correct one for his baby book.

We went out for some Mexican food for the first time in a long time and then went shopping. Jackson got a clothing make-over at The Children's Place. We've been there twice now in a week. He needed an overhaul since he was growing out of everything. We got a ton of super cute stuff - I LOVE that store!
