I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend. We had a fun and exciting weekend at home. We have been traveling the past two weekends so we were glad to have a little down time at home.
Jake had his 3 month birthday on the 23rd. I thought I should measure and weigh him just for kicks. This is just an estimate but I say he is about 15 pounds and 24 1/2 inches. We will go back to the doctor at 4 months but I thought we should see where we were at 3 months. Needless to say he is a healthy boy!
We started the weekend off with dinner at our favorite restaurant Taqueria del Sol. Jake is great to take to restaurants which is nice. Saturday we spent lounging around the house and getting some chores done.
On Sunday we decided to join the church (Smyrna First United Methodist) we have been visiting for 2 years now. I know...its about time. So we are going to look into getting Jake baptized sometime this summer.
Sunday afternoon we ventured over to Layce and Adam's house. It was a beautiful day and so nice to sit out on their patio and relax. UNTIL...Jake decided to poop. Oh and not just in his diaper but all over my lap too. It was just too much for the poor little diaper to contain. Needless to say we made a quick exit, went home and showered and as John said "pooped and rallied". It was a fun day other than the pooping incident.
Monday we shopped and had a late lunch. Then we took Jake to our pool. I think we have a little fish on our hands. He had a great time swimming in the pool with Mommy and Daddy. When we got home Brian and I played Bocce Ball in the backyard. This was new to me so of course I lost every game. But it was fun being outside and enjoying the sunshine.
This weekend we are off to Sandersville for some wedding showers. Have a great week!

12 Whole Weeks
Well, 12 weeks have gone by since Jake was born. I can't believe how time flies. This weekend we traveled to Sanderville to see Brian's family. As always we had some great home-cooked food. Jake got to see all our relatives there. He is so spoiled from all the attention. He was pretty good most of the weekend which was nice. We go back in a couple weeks for some wedding showers for our friends.
Tomorrow we go to take his 3 month pictures. Of course last weekend he scratched his little nose and it still hasn't healed all the way yet. Doesn't that just figure! Oh well, I am hoping she can just airbrush that out. So in the next two weeks I will let you know when you can view those pictures. Hopefully they will be better than last time. He is all smiles these days so I am pretty sure we are going to get some good shots.
All this traveling I am ready for a nice relaxing weekend at home! Hopefully we will have some nice weather and we can introduce Jake to the pool this weekend! Oh boy! Hope you all have a great week and a nice Memorial Day weekend!

Mother's Day
First of all I hope all you mothers out there had a wonderful Mother's Day. Jake and I traveled to Cincinnati on Wednesday (Brian flew up on Friday). I was very nervous about the 6 hour drive all by myself with Jake but he did great! I only stopped once to feed and change him, he slept the entire way. I was so glad.
We arrived in Cincy in time to pick up Aunt Lyndsay at the airport. She was meeting Jake for the first time and was so excited she cried big tears when she saw him, claiming he was soooo beautiful. Well of course I already knew that! We had a great evening with him and dressed him up in Bengals attire in honor of my brother.
The next few days we spent shopping and eating at all our favorite spots. I definitely plan all my meals when I go to Cincinnati. Friday, Jake and I went to visit my very best friend Lisa and her family. Our friend Angie brought her little girl, Tatum, over too. Tatum was born just 4 days before Jake. It was fun to see them and get to visit with their kids.
Unfortunately on May 3rd my grandfather passed away. Saturday we had his funeral. Afterwards the whole family and some close friends gathered for dinner celebrating his life with good food and drinks! He was a wonderful granddad and I will miss him.
Sunday was my very first Mother's Day. My family's church had 5 pieces of music commissioned in honor of my grandma, who died in December 2006. It was so wonderful. The anthem "When I Am Old" was my favorite. The composer incorporated so much of my grandma into the song, in particular her love of purple and how she always said she was "fantastic!" It was truly a wonderful service and I know my grandma was looking down and enjoying not only the amazing music but also seeing her whole family there to honor her.
All things considered we had a great time in Cincinnati. It was so much fun for everyone to meet Jake. He sure was spoiled! Especially by Grandma and Aunt Lyndsay! I hope you all enjoy the pictures, and have a great week! We are off to Sandersville this weekend to see Brian's family so I am sure there will be tons of pictures next week too.

10 Weeks
Well Jake is now 10 weeks old. He is a growing boy and we are loving every minute. Jake is getting so good at sleeping through the night. We put him down between 8:30 and 9:00 and he pretty much sleeps until 6:30 or 7:00. So Mommy is finally getting some sleep. Its wonderful.
We had a few lunch dates this week. I usually try to take some pictures after we get back since he is usually in a cute outfit. He is also getting better at his jumper that hangs from the doorway. He hasn't really gotten the jumping yet but he can turn all around. Brian also put together a new toy. Jake sits in and can turn around and see all the fun things to do. He didn't really know what to do but he likes the sounds it makes. There are pictures of course.
I have to say the funniest thing happened on Sunday. Brian and I had a ton of yard work to do. We have to lay out pinestraw every year and this was the weekend. I thought Jake could sit outside in his stroller with us and that worked for a little while. But he was getting fussy and hot so I took him inside. A baseball game happened to be on so I plopped him in front of the TV and he was mesmerized! He sure did watch that baseball game for an hour while we finished in the yard. The last few pictures in the album are of him staring at the game. It was so cute.
So on Wednesday Jake and I are off to Cincinnati. Brian is joining us on Friday. It's going to be my very first Mother's Day and we get to spend it with my whole family. I can't wait to see everyone and for them to meet Jake.
