4 Months Old

Well Jake had his 4 month check up this week. I can't believe he is 4 months old. He had to get some shots poor little guy. He didn't even flinch for the first two but the last two...wow! He has some lungs. The doctor says he is looking good. He weighs 15 pounds 7.6 ounces and is 25.5 inches long. Obviously he is a healthy eater as you can see in some of the pictures. He is a fat little boy but the cutest fat boy ever!!!

Jake has found his feet. He loves to get his hands on those little feet. It's especially fun to change his diaper while he is grabbing them. He is trying with all his might to get those feet in his mouth but his tummy is an obstacle. Not sure he is going to be able to get around the tummy.

Aside from finding out we have feet we didn't do much this week. I guess we recovered from our beach trip. Lots of laundry for Mommy. I also was a slacker at taking pictures but we did a few photo shoots.

Hope you all have a happy 4th of July! Be safe!

Jake's First Beach Trip

Well we are back from St. George's Island. We had a wonderful time introducing Jake to the beach. He put his little toes in the sand and feet in the water. Yeah he cried. Jake did not like the beach. I am sure he will like it more next time.

We basically relaxed and enjoyed the family time. I spent a lot of my time reading books on the back porch. Jake would nap in his swing and I read and watched everyone down at the beach. Brian brought his Bocce balls and he and Anna teamed up. They were a force to be reckoned with. Finally on Friday Carla and Chuck beat them.

It was a great time. We had lots of fun eating out, staying in and drinking fruity drinks. We actually didn't take lots of pictures but we did get some good ones. Enjoy!

And if you want to check out the 3 month pictures I had taken of Jake click over on the My Favorite Links, go to the photographer's page. Click on Client and the password is caroline. I think they are adorable!

Have a great week everyone!

15 Weeks

It was a slow week for us. We really didn't do much. It has been too hot to play outside so we have been putting all these toys to good use. We opened yet another box with a new toy for Jake. It's a jumper. He can turn all around and play with different things while jumping up and down. He hasn't figured out the jumping yet. I am sure he will soon enough.

But Jake did sort of roll over this week. If starting on your tummy and kind of falling onto your back counts. He has no desire to be on his tummy so he doesn't even try to roll off his back. It really is funny to see him topple over. I took some pictures while he was doing it and they are a little fuzzy but you get the idea.

Tomorrow we are having lunch with Jake's friends (Matt, Davis and Brendan). It should be lots of fun. After that we are going to concentrate on getting ready for our beach trip. We leave Sunday morning for St. George's Island. We are so excited to introduce Jake to the ocean. I wonder how he is going to like the sand! I know there will be lots of pictures and fun stories so come back in 2 weeks.

Hope you all have a great week, and for all you dads out there...Happy Father's Day!

14 Weeks

Well Jake is 14 weeks old. Time is just flying by. This week we had lots to do and I wasn't very good about taking pictures. So we did a quick photo shoot this morning with all of his fun toys. Of course that wore him out so he is snoozing now.

He has really gotten into his exersaucer. He has figured out how to turn all around. Its so cute, he hasn't really figured out all the toys on it yet but he stares them down. He has started reaching for things and grabbing his little toy keys. Its so fun to play with him. He just laughes and giggles.

We started the week off by having lunch with Jamie and her little girl Payton. Then we had lunch with Hilary and Davis. Finally we met my friend Heather for lunch. It was a busy week. Jake is so great when we have lunch dates. I am going to take advantage while it lasts.

This weekend we were back in Sandersville. We had a couple showers for one of Brian's good friends Hill and his fiance Katy. They live in DC so it was great to see them and have them meet Jake. So Jake got to have quite a bit of Nana time. She was nice enough to watch him Saturday night and Sunday too. Unfortunately I wasn't around to take pictures so we only got a few from the weekend. But we are all going to the beach in 2 weeks so I can only imagine how many pictures there will be.

Last night I went to see the new Sex and the City movie. (My first movie since Jake was born). It was wonderful! Oh the clothes, the shoes and the handbags! It was great. If you haven't seen it...what are you waiting for?!?

Hope you all have a great week!
