J's first Birthday

A week ago we had a wonderful celebration! Our first grandchild turned one year old. It is really hard to believe that last year at this time we were marveling at the miracle of this little boy's birth. We have thoroughly enjoyed each and every phase of his young life and are so enjoying this new experience of being grandparents. As one of my patients told me yesterday, when he looked at the pictures of my cute grandkids, "the only good thing about growing old is having grandchildren!" He's exactly right!
Jayden was a little train conductor for his birthday party.
The theme was "Thomas the Train"
He even had his own private little cake...
...and lots of presents!
Plenty of games to play...
...and bubbles
...his first candle
...and cake!
We couldn't tell who had more fun with the airplane, daddy...
...or the boys! (I've tried to download the video of Jayden riding, but I'm not having much success. I will keep trying.)
This little boy is trying hard to learn how to walk now. And he's already trying to fill his father's shoes!
