Half birthdays and celebrating everyday life
A few weeks ago Jasper turned eighteen months old. It is hard to believe this little guy has stolen our hearts and been the center of our universe for already a year and a half now. On the eve of his half birthday, my parents came over for dinner and to celebrate our little guy. The night before I decided to make a little construction cake for our construction obsessed son. His three favorite words are currently, "dig, dig, dig"
The evening was spent showering him with presents and oooohhhing and awwwwing over how cute, smart, funny and engaging he is. It is nice to know there are other people on the planet equally enamored with our son. The other day my mother mentioned how people seem to be in a better mood when they are around Jasper. My greatest hope as a mother is that my son will always bring out the best in people. Now if only we could bottle up our mutual love for this little boy I am convinced we could cure the world of all its sadness.
Although I did not capture it, the moment this sweet boy's face lit up when he saw his cake. Those are the moments I live for. There is no greater feeling than seeing your child full of joy.
