Happy 1st Birthday, John Ross!



What a fun and eventful year John Ross has had! We celebrated his first birthday in style. On his actual birthday of September 26th, Mommy and Daddy gave him his gifts, which included a wagon. Later that afternoon, he and his daycare friends enjoyed a caterpillar made of cupcakes. On Saturday, September 29th, all of John Ross' aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents came to Iowa to celebrate at the Malter "Birthday Barn" for an E-I-E-I-O themed party. We had baby chickens and all! What a wonderful time we had (see photos). We ended the weekend by attending the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. One of Daddy's friends is the vet for the circus, and she was kind enough to give us a few tickets to enjoy. Of all the animals, John Ross enjoyed the little dogs the most.

John Ross is busy moving about. He's still not walking, but he's so close! He's growing so fast and has already had 4 haircuts. We are so blessed to have a healthy one-year-old.
