Bath Time Fun

We got some great bath time pictures this past week...and a video below. Jake's really getting into it! Also, a couple HUGE smile pictures for you at the bottom...

Splashing Around

Funny Boy

Jake was full of smiles and laughter this evening, and I managed to capture quite a bit...Enjoy! This is my favorite noise in the whole world! :)

Self-feeding

Happy Kiddo

Lots of smiles captured on the camera this time...I was beginning to wonder if I would ever get a smile again on the camera...it seemed like every time I got it out, Jake would stop whatever he was doing & stare in wonder at this funny looking device that Mom's always getting out & flashes bright lights at him. :)

Playing in the Jumperoo...always a good time

Cousin Darlene came to visit and brought Jake this goofy moose hat from Yellowstone - He looks adorable in it, as you can see! Thanks Darlene!

Chillin' out at camp last weekend at Daddy's civil war shoot

This morning after breakfast...yummm...prunes & oatmeal baby cereal!

Jake with his brand new (4 days old!) friend, Arizona Sue King...for once, Jake looks like the giant... Congrats, Sarah & Spencer...and Welcome Arizona!

We worked on finger foods today for the first time, practicing those fine motor skills

Happy Labor Day!

This first picture is from last weekend when Jake's Aunt Amy & Uncle Walt got engaged...we are so excited for them!

Here is Jake - we were just hanging around the house one of my days off last week & he was bored so we went outside to take some pictures. He loves being outside!

On our annual Labor Day camping trip. We were celebrating Jake's friend Jack's 2nd birthday with some cake & Jake got to try some...at first he wasn't sure, but then he gobbled it up!

Hello Again

We've been gone for awhile from the blog, but we're back. Many of you may have guessed we are challenged to adjust to life with Jake & work...but, I just started my first week part-time. I will be working Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays only now....yeah!!! So Jake & I are at home today just enjoying eachother's company. Here are some highlights from the last month. Jake is eating solids 3x/day now - cereal, fruits, and veggies, in addition to still nursing several times a day...so he is porking out! He has doubled his birthweight - he was 14 lb 6 oz Friday at the pediatrician's. We have been battling the worst cold I've ever had here at our house...well, actually, just Jake and Mom...Dad seems to have escaped it so far. Jake is rolling over....he starting doing that a few weeks ago, but still doesn't do it predictably...just when he wants to. He is also doing pretty well at sitting for short periods of time. We recently went camping and have discovered that Jake LOVES to "swim"! Anyway, that's the short of it...hope all of you are doing well. Jake sends his love! :)
