Jake's Birthday Party

Jake's 1st birthday party was a success! He got lots of cool presents that have been played with nonstop since Saturday. He got some really cute books too that he likes for me to read to him when he gets tired. I was a little unsure of what Jake would do when it was time for him to have his cake. Sam is very OCD so he pitched a fit at his 1st birthday party, Jake however is extremely different from Sam. He loves to make a mess and his eyes lit up when we put the cake on his tray. He touched it at first to see if he was going to get in trouble for playing with his food and then when we started cheering him on he went all out! He threw his arms in the air and went mouth first into the cake! It was hilarious! He had fun playing in the icing and actually only ate a little of the cake.

Thank you to everyone that came to his party and for the great gifts! We are really blessed to have such great family and friends that would take time out of their Saturday to celebrate with a 1 year old!

Jake was ok with Sam touching his cake it was when Sam took a piece of the candy that Jake wasn't too happy!

Jake in his new Cozy Coupe! I'm sure by the time he is finished with this car the wheels will be worn down to nothing!

Happy 1st Birthday Jake!

I know I say it every month but is my baby really 1 today?! This past year has flown by and has been so much fun with our 2 boys! Jake has shown us lately that he is Mr. Independent and wants to do things by himself. I tried to hold his hand last night for him to walk with me and he pitched a fit and threw his arm up and walked ahead of me! He loves to play with cars and trucks, but what little boy doesn't. He also loves to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Handy Manny. He will eat just about anything you put infront of him but don't you dare try to give him baby food, he is over it! You also can not show him his food unless you are ready to give him a bite. He will go headfirst toward the plate! We joke around the house that Jake is a little Tazmanian Devil because he can pitch a really good fit. If he wants something get out of his way because he is going to get it no matter where you move it. I have even caught him climbing on his toys to reach something higher. He can also be the sweetest little boy ever! He is a great snuggler and is hilarious when he tries to give kisses! He loves his big brother and watches his every move...that might just be to make sure Sam is not going to take his toys away! Sam is very proud of his baby brother! He sang "Happy Birthday to Jacob" all the way to Grandma's house this morning! I guess when we thought Jake would be referred to as "Baby Jakey" from now on we were wrong...he is now Jacob to Sam!

Happy Birthday Baby Jakey, We Love You!

One Year Later...

The Cunningham Boys +1

No I am not pregnant! However we do have a new baby! This past weekend we adopted a beagle puppy that we named Cody. He is super cute and is GREAT with the boys. He is on Jake's sleep schedule at night so from 8pm - 6am he is content in his crate sleeping. He loves to chase Jake around when he is crawling and Jake just laughs as he speeds up! Sam loves to have Cody chase him around too! Poor Cody probably sleeps so good because he is worn out at the end of the day! Here are some of the pictures I took this weekend.
