Sweet face.



Like Father, Like Son...I think they look so much alike in these pictures. This is the same, "Really, another picture?" look.

Happy Easter!

What a great day! Jake was great in church this morning, and the weather turned out to be perfect. We had some good food and good fun with family, complete with lots of goods from the Easter bunny.

9 Months!

Wow, what a month! This past month Jake has grown so big and done so many new things...I think we could slow it down a bit...he's growing so fast! As you may have seen, Jake got his first tooth a couple of weeks ago (the second is just days away). He is officially crawling now - and fast - and everywhere. He can pull himself up to standing but sometimes prefers to stay on his knees. He stands to play his LeapFrog table. He can feed himself with his fingers as of this morning...Jake and Dad were working on it for a couple of days. And he just started clapping today too. He's outgrown his infant carrier, so we installed the "big" car seats today, which means we're on to the "big" stroller too. He loves to pull the string on the ceiling fan. When you ask him, "Where is the light?" he points or looks right at it / them. He's amazing, and we are constantly in awe. Here are some pictures taken today....


That scrunchy face we love!


Look at that big tooth!


Crawling....


....and standing.

The Many Faces....

Jake's First Tooth! (You may have to click on the picture to see)...



This is Jake's smile lately, which comes with a scrunchy face. You can't help but do it yourself every time he looks at you with that irresistible scrunch.





He loves his dog. (We're not sure that Bailey feels the same way yet).

8 Months

Well, we're only 4 days late posting Jake's 8 month pics, which is actually a miracle considering how busy we've been this week. At 8 months, Jake is just starting to army crawl (with one arm) and scoot both forward and backward (but mostly backward). He laughs at Bailey almost every day and loves to let her in the house from the backyard. He LOVES to eat everything except bananas and apricots. And his first tooth is getting ready to sprout! He still loves to be on his changing table but hates to get his diaper changed now and rarely sits still. Not really sure how we're going to keep up when he's fully mobile!


Look at those baby blues!

Happy Valentine's Day!

(Notice the shirt :))



Working on his crawl...almost there!


Taking a break for yoga.


Spending some quality time with Sophie (before he eats her head).

I Will Gladly Pay You Tuesday....

We think he looks a bit like Wimpy in "Popeye".
