Jace and Mommy go solo

Jace and Mommy made their first trip to Fort Madison alone last weekend! Mommy was a little nervous about the long drive but Jace did awesome and slept the whole way there and back!! Jace had a very eventful weekend and got to do many new things. He got to go on his first stroller ride outside (thanks to being born in Iowa in Jan.). He strolled down by the river with mommy and fabulous Aunt Kay. Jace also visited his Grandma and Grandpa's restaurant--10th Street Station-and got to go behind the scenes. He will be downing the cheeserites soon! Jace also got to go to his very first birthday party. He had a good time and got to play with his cousins. It was his cousin Emma's 3rd birthday and he loved her! She is making him smile in one of the pics and the other is of Abby--who he also had a good time with. The next pics are of Jace at Grandma and Grandpa's house. He loved Reggie and Reggie loved him. They spent quite a bit of time snuggling. Jace also found Grandma pretty entertaining and loved to share smiles with her. Jace also got to go out to eat with the girls (a.k.a. Grandma, mommy, and fabulous Kay and Debbie). He went shopping with them first and was a little cranky. He finally fell alseep on Grandma and rather than waking him to put him in his car seat, Grandma walked Jace to the restaurant (across the highway). Who is boss here??? Jace has it all figured out!!
