5 Months

We had a fun week. On Monday we traveled to Lake Rabun for a work picnic for Brian's office. It was lots of fun to watch everyone go tubing and all the kids had lots of fun.

We took a few pictures at the lake but most of the pictures this week are of Jake trying to sit up. He is starting to get the hang of it. It's so much fun to see him learning his new trick. Of course he still prefers eating his feet to sitting up. Changing a diaper has really become a chore. Once he gets hold of those feet he really doesn't want to give them up. So we play tug of war with the feet. He just laughs and laughs. What a wonderful sound!

We also got to see Jake's friend Matt Browning (who is growing like a weed!). Katie and Andy, who are awaiting their first baby in October, were in town. So we got to catch up with them and see the Brownings. As always it was great to see them.

Not much in store for us this week. This weekend we are off to Sandersville for a family reunion. Lots of people are going to get to meet Jake.

Have a great week everyone!

5 Months...Almost

I hope you all had a great week. Jake is almost 5 months old. Jake has found his toes! They sure are delicious! All week he has been pulling on those feet to get his little toes in his mouth. When they get there he squeals with delight. It is the cutest thing. I took lots of pictures of this because it is just a funny sight.

What Jake really wants to do is sit up. He is doing little stomach crunches to get there. But he just can't get up. He can sit up for about 30 seconds then falls over. He will get it soon I know.

We had a few lunch dates this week. On Saturday Brian took him on his first trip to Home Depot. Jake needs to know his way around that place! Not much else is going on.

Tomorrow we are off to the lake for a picnic with Brian's coworkers. I am sure we will have great fun and I will of course take lots of pictures! Jake's first lake trip.

Hope you all have a great week.

Another Week

Well we had a big weekend. Friday we decided to have a little play date. So Ben and Leslie brought Matt and Hilary and Elliott brought Davis over to play. It was great fun. The Mommies of course had to take tons of pictures. So there are quite a few of the boys together. I am sure the will be lots more in the years so come.

Saturday Brian's family came for a visit and to go to see the Kenny Chesney concert. This was the 8th time Brian and I have seen him. We have gone every year since we met. It's tradition and Kenny Chesney certainly didn't disappoint. This year he played at Turner Field with 4 opening acts. Our favorite was Gary Allen. Of course he played first and we sat in a downpour to see him. We were soaked for the rest of the concert but it was worth it and lots of fun. Better than 100 degree heat if you ask me.

I hope you all have a great week. More from Jake next week!

4th of July

I hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th of July!

We had a good week. On Wednesday we ventured out to our local sports bar (Jocks n Jills) to watch my brother pitch against the Reds. While the outcome wasn't the greatest we had a great time with Jake. He was all dressed up in his All Star outfit. He was mesmerized by all the TV's but couldn't keep his eyes off his daddy's beer.

We stuck around the house most of the weekend. Some friends of ours just built a pool so we went over there for a while on Saturday. Jake and Brian went swimming. Jake didn't like it at first but he warmed up to the water. I got a lot of cute pictures.

So that's all I have for now. Have a great week everyone!
