The Wisconsin Bagleys

Jack's 1st birthday

Our sweet baby boy turned one! I can't believe how fast the time goes. It has gone too fast for my liking. Jack is now walking and saying a few words. His favorite word is Uh Oh! He likes to drop things on the floor and say "Uh Oh". If we ask him to say Mama or Dada he will shake is head no which we think is funny and I am sure we have reinforced this gesture by laughing at it. He is such a fun little guy. He loves to smile and laugh. He is quite the charmer with strangers and loves to smile at them and get them to smile back. He gives the best kisses and gives me and Bagley kisses all day long. We love our little rascal and we are so grateful to be his parents and have in our family. Happy Birthday Love Bug!

Jack loved ripping the paper off of his presents and then throwing everything out of the boxes.

Are these all for me?

This one year old did some damage on his presents.

Jack's first taste of birthday cake.

How am I supposed to do this?

He loves to squish his food.

Yum Yum!

I think he had more fun squishing the cake than eating it.

We had a birthday party with some friends a few days after Jack's birthday.

Jack loves ducks so we had a duck themed birthday party. I had so much fun making this cake for him.

Our friends the Ropers were in town and were able to come to Jack's party. This is their cute little guy Owen. I wish they still lived close so these boys could play together.

Grill Master

Jack discovered Cheetos and tried to take them off of everyone's plate.

More presents even though we told everyone no presents!

Jack loves Elmo.

Thank you for all the loot!

A few days after the party we let Jack eat the duck.

Dada helped him rip off the head.

This is pretty good.

No he did not eat the whole thing but he had fun with the frosting.

Ryan's Birthday

Bagley's parents were in town for his birthday. Ryan was able to take a few days off of work to hang out with us. We had a lot of fun.

Happy Birthday Dada!

He wasn't so sure about being in the box.

Make a wish!

German Chocolate Floor Cake! Bagley's poor mom spent two days working on this cake. She made the whole thing from scratch and then as soon as it was finished, the lid of the container fell off and the cake fell on the floor. We felt so bad for her but we were able to get rid of the parts that touched the floor and they ate it anyway.

Happy Birthday! And many more!

We took a little trip to western Wisconsin where we went to Effigy Mounds. We went a few years ago but Bagley's parents wanted to go and Bagley wanted to take Jack to his first National Monument, Park, etc.

Starting the love for National Parks early.

He loved sitting by himself up there until he realized how high he was and then he got nervous and wanted to get down.

The Bagley Boys in Bagley, Wisconsin.

There is a small town in Wisconsin named Bagley. So naturally we had to visit and eat lunch at the Bagley Hotel.

Many Faces of Jack

Jack has many funny faces. He is also saying a few words like "Uh Oh" and "Wow". He loves to look at random strangers and make them smile. He is such a happy little boy.

Cheeeeese!

Bath time is my favorite time.

Uh Oh!

Yummy spaghetti

Oh!

Playtime

Jacks days consist of eating, sleeping, and playing. Here are a few pictures of him playing. He has such a fun and energetic personality. His big thing lately is to make messes. He loves to empty out any cupboard or drawer he can get into. He also knows he shouldn't be doing it because as soon as Bagley or I walk in the room, he throws down whatever is in his hands and crawls away as fast as he can.
