I made it to the big ONE, what a year it has been!
Time is flying by and I am not giving my mommy much time to blog these days. She was right, as soon as I started moving the days of me sitting were over! Action Jackson, Jack Attack, Turbo Jack -- all of these nick names fit me well-- I love to be on the go!!!
TEN MONTHS OLD-
Mommy was excited to take me to buy my first pair of shoes. I was a great shopping companion and learned how to swipe her credit card!
First Bike Trip!!! I did really well and loved the wind in my face. Daddy and I biked 17 miles-- Aunt Janet, Grandma and Mommy were my entertainment while we rode.
Uncle Mike is already teaching me how to play basketball. I have learned how to dribble and he tells me that I have a good arm. Hey, what can I say, I learned from the best. I really like going to the Olympic Club to watch his games. Uncle Mike and I do drills at half time. I can't wait until I am on a team some day!
I love park dates with my girlfriends!!! At ten months I started to become a little less interested in the swing and more interested in exploring EVERYTHING around.

Jacob and I love standing at the window looking at Noni & Papa's crew of dogs.
Eleven MONTHS OLD-
Unfortunately, Mommy got me this baby zoo. At first I thought it was pretty entertaining but quickly realized I do not like it when she closes the gate! I prefer it when the gate stays open so I can shake it like a wild monkey.
Grandma, Mommy and I went on a beautiful hike in Mill Valley and I saw the ocean for the first time. Boy, do I love getting dirty! Grandma got right down in the wet sand with me :)
Whenever I have the chance I love playing with my cousin Jacob.
Is it possible that Jackson and I are only 10 days apart?!?!
Our moms really put us through the ringer. But seriously, I promise, our feet are only 10 days apart. I am a BEAST!!
I attended my first wedding in May when Mommy's college friend, Barbara, married Brian up in Napa. It was a beautiful celebration, well at least what I saw of it-- Grandma picked me up so I could go to bed on time. Mommy and daddy had a blast dancing the night away.

| Stunning bride. |
 |
| There were 6 Paradise babies born within 18 months and 5 babes came to the wedding. (Mommy lived in a house they refer to as 'Paradise' her Junior year at Santa Clara.) What fun I had meeting all the babes that flew in from Seattle and Portland. |
Maybe the biggest news is that I started WALKING!!! WAWHOO!! Now I can really move! It started with just 2 steps, then 3, then 4, then 6, then 8 and by 11.5 months, mommy and daddy started calling me a walker!
 |
Noni and Papad had a great big family birthday BBQ for Jacob and I. We had lots of fun with our cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents and of course our favorites (Mommy & Daddy!!). Grandma made delicious cupcakes. At first I was not sure but then I dug right in!

| The big ONE. It has been a wild year and can't wait for more adventures! |
