We get to start January with birthdays. Ezra turned one, the next day Jane turned 9 and four days later, Jacob turned 6. I'm next at the end of the month
 but I'm trying not to think about it. I have getting old issues ;)

We don't really do a "real birthday" until you are three at our house. I know, it's cruel but they don't notice. For Ezra's Birthday the kids made him a puppet show, which he loved! He's into puppets lately.

He takes about 4 wobbly steps at a time now. I don't know what's taking him so long- the others were all walking well before one. 

Jane got mostly clothes this year except Grammy and Baba got her a cute little Nikon mini which she's been attached to ever since. She'll catch you on video at the most inopportune moments if you're not careful.

Birthday are a great time to get out the face painting.

This is the pre-party on Jacob's birthday. Jacob is under the yellow blanket. 

Both the boys had earaches. But Jacob heard about presents coming out and perked right up.

Grammy and Baba got him two birdies! He was so surprised. We had them flying all over our bedroom the night before while we set up the cage. Jacob pulls up a chair and just sits and watches them. Don't even ask what he named them.
