Justin's Birthday - round two

We had some family that couldn't make it last Saturday. Since Justin only turns one once, we decided to do cake for a second time. Plus I didn't get to make a big cake last time and only made cupcakes due to the low attendance! Justin had a great time and definitely enjoyed the chocolate cake more than the vanilla one. Maybe that is why he didn't dive right in last week. I surrounded by a house of chocolate loving boys. All four of them prefer it to vanilla and Brian Jr. has been known to turn down cake if it is not chocolate on chocolate.

Justin has been walking so much more in the last week. He started so much more today! He now probably walks and crawls about the same amount in a day. And he starts off walking as far as he can and then crawls when he falls down. It is neat to see how proud he is of himself! Justin walking so much also means that the bumps and bruises are not far behind! I had better hurry up and get some pictures!

His first 'girlfriend', Jordan, will turn one in June. She loved Justin. In fact she may have loved him a little too much! He did not quite feel the same way. She pretty much smacked and attacked him. She would go up to him and tackle him. He would try to crawl or walk away. During one escape attempt she tried to grab him and only got the waist of his pants. She pulled them right off of him - it was so funny! Jordan kept giving him love pats on his head. At times, those love pats didn't seem so lovey! Then once when he was lying on the floor she went over and laid down on top of him!

By the end of the night you could tell that he was definitely avoiding her! It is so funny to me to see how personalities can be so different - even from birth. Justin has always been more easy going and laid back than Jordan. She is so much more adventuresome and outgoing than he is! They are like complete opposites. There were times when he just sat and stared at her like she was from another planet! Hey - opposites attract! There may be a future for them yet!

Cute stuff. Maybe he doesn't like her now but wait a few years and he will want to be with her all the time.
