Stinson: Party of Four: Happy First Birthday Jared (Recap)

What a busy week! Jared's birthday festivities are finished down here in Baton Rouge. We still have his little celebration in Vicksburg once Ryan's parents come back from Hawaii in a few weeks. We had a blast visiting with everyone who came to Jared's party this past weekend! Jared is becoming less and less baby everyday... he is such a big boy! Here are some of his recent new "tricks":

He says "Plee, Plee" (please, please) when he wants something and once you give him what he is asking for he responds "Dah-du!" (thank you)
He RUNS
He climbs on higher and higher surfaces every time I turn around... he is quite the dare devil!
When you ask him a question such as "Who is______? Raise your hand!" He gets a huge grin on his face and puts his hand up.
He repeats the names of his favorite foods back when you ask if he wants them banana=nah-nah, juice=duice
He loves to pretend he is talking on the phone and says "hey!" in a high-pitched tone.

He loves to give "kisses" His version is opening his mouth as wide as possible and putting it against your cheek while saying "awwww"

Here are the pictures of his parties:

This was taken at exactly 6:09 p.m. on July 8th

His cake display of Danielle and my homemade cupcakes!

"Presleigh, make a silly face to get Jared to laugh"

Kaylin was the life of the party!

Kaylin was helping me open presents and would squeal with delight at the first glimpse of the box under the wrapping...before seeing what it actually was!
