The pre-party and pre-party cake with our bakery friends...

 We decked out the house while you were asleep...

 This was the night before your birthday. I love this so much. 

 Birthday watermelon.. in your new birthday shirt... 

 We invited some Safford friends over on your birthday. We made another cake and we were running around cleaning and setting things up before everyone came over. You were wondering around the house looking for things to do, just waiting. I kept finding little things for you to do, until finally you walked in the kitchen and I just looked at you... glowing on your birthday. So grown up and so sweet. I decided we should dance. I love a good dance. Alt-J was playing. We held hands and danced and swung all around the kitchen. Just us. You were laughing so hard with the biggest smile on your sweet face. That is as good as life gets. I know I am living in the best time of my life. I can't even think about that dance without bursting into tears. I will never forget it. Pure love between us. Pure and total love. I LOVE you, Jonah BOY!

You wanted to wear your birthday shirt to bed. You love birthdays as much as I do :). I cried and cried that night in bed with dad. I thought about how you are a boy now, and not so much a baby. I love watching you go through each new stage and learn more and more things. But I will miss my Jonah baby too. I am so happy that you are my Jonah Boy though. I can't wait to see all the new things you will learn and do. Love you. All of me loves all of you.
