So Handsome!

A couple more random pictures of my handsome, handsome little man! :)

All smiles...

Sleepy boy!

Happy Tuesday!

Some random pictures from last night & this morning...

Bath time!

Baptism Day

Jake was baptized Sunday...it was a special, special day! Lots of his loved ones joined us to witness it...Grandma Kennedy and Grandpa Jaime, Aunt Mari, Aunt Heather & Uncle Chris, Grandma & Grandpa Walters, Great-Great-Great Aunt Pat & Uncle Jim...and Jake's God-Parents, "Aunt" Stephanie & "Uncle" John Pinkster, with Julia and Collin. Grandpa Joe and Uncle Josh stopped by to wish him well before he was baptized too. The Pinksters stood up with us for the baptism. They vowed, like us, to teach Jake about God and walk with him on his journey to someday dedicate his life to Jesus like we all have. Jake wore a gown that was made by Grandma Kennedy out of material from my wedding dress...pretty neat! Everyone went out to lunch at TGIF afterward to celebrate. We obviously took lots of pictures! Jake was a champ during baptism too...never cried. I'm told the old wives' tale is that it means he will be extra rebellious...time will tell!

Jake in his very cool outfit for the day

Special embroidery on his slip to remember the day by

Such a beautiful baby!

I was told he had to wear SOMETHING that was "all boy" underneath that dress...so we put John Deere socks on him!

With Grandma Kennedy...the dressmaker :)

The only time he was awake during the entire service...even Pastor Paul commented that he rarely sees this boy's eyes!

What an awesome day!

Tuckered out

Happy again after a snooze at lunch

Girl Time...Ugh

Jake spent the majority of Saturday at his Aunt Heather's wedding shower, which my mom & I threw for her...he was over-loaded on girls! :) He got to visit with his Aunt Heather though, and got to meet lots of new people, including his Aunt Jen (all the way from NY!), Great-Aunt Kelly, and new friend William, who was born 6 days after him! It was a fun day!

Rough Day!

It started out a good day, but ended up being a rough day in the life of a 2 month old! Jake had his 2 month immunizations today, 5 of which were shots. Needless to say, he is tuckered out & does not have too sunny of a disposition now! :) However, I wanted to give everyone an update on his growth since his last well-child appointment:

10 Days old: 6lb 14oz, 19" long, 14 1/8" head circumference
Today, at 2 months old: 10lb 7.5oz, 22.5" long, 15.5" head circumference

We knew he was growing lots, but this just confirmed it! Way to go, Jake!

Here are a couple of pictures of our tired, grumpy boy... :)

First Trip to the Lake!

Jake took his first trip to the lake today! We picked up Daddy on his lunch hour and all three fo us went to Gull Lake for a picnic lunch. Other than putting on sunscreen, he loved it! Here are some other random pictures of Jake playing too...lots of faces. :)

Making Faces

Jake is getting more & more animated when he's awake. He spends his awake time studying his surroundings hard & taking it all in, as well as interacting with anyone who's in view by making faces, smiling, imitating, making noises (we call it "talking"), and wiggling his arms & legs. He's learning so much & doing so much more each and every day...it's amazing! He has been trying hard to make a giggle sound, but hasn't quite accomplished it yet - I have gotten a couple random squeals though. He is also developing quite the personality...he knows what he wants & he sure doesn't hesitate to make it clear he needs something! :) He is really getting fun to play with.

Studying hard...what is my mama doing?

Talking to mom and all smiles!

More smiles for my mama...

You can't see it here, but he is looking out the window intently

And some bathroom update pictures, as requested...coming right along!

And looking the other direction...

Growing Up Quick!

We started moving Jake up in his clothes sizes this weekend...he is still wearing a lot of his 0-3 months, but some are getting snug, so I broke out the 3-6 month sizes of those brands he's growing out of...he's a growing boy! We are excited to see how much he's grown when we have his 2 month checkup Friday! Here are some cute random pictures of him this weekend...

Big Yawn!

Do you see a theme here?
