7 Months Old

War Eagle!

I hope you all had a great weekend. We didn't really do much this week. I had my first Mother's Morning Out. Every Tuesday I take him to a church around the corner for 4 hours. After the baptism last weekend I decided to do absolutely nothing for 4 hours. It was great but I was itching to go pick him up. The ladies said he did great. I knew he would.

He is trying to crawl. I can tell he wants to so badly. He just reaches and reaches for toys that are out of his reach. He kind of rolls where he wants to go. Poor guy just hasn't figured it out yet. When he does I know I am in trouble! He will be everywhere and into everything!

Friday night Jake had his first fever. So far we have had a very healthy baby so needless to say Brian and I were a little nervous. I don't know how many times we took his temperature but it was at least every 30 minutes. Of course he was fine the next day. I am pretty sure Jake is getting a tooth. The drool...oh the drool. A faucet that won't turn off!

I decided to weigh the big guy since he is now 7 months old. He weighs 19 pound 12 ounces and is 27 3/4 inches tall. Yes he is quite a load.

A couple weeks ago I had his 6 month pictures taken. If you want to view them, the link is on the "My Favorite Links" page. Go to Clients and the password is jakem. He is the cutest baby ever I am pretty sure! Hope you all have a great week.

Jake's Baptism

Well it was a sad weekend to be a Tiger fan but all was forgotten on Sunday when we had Jake baptized. Both sides of our family made it to the big event. It was wonderful. Jake looked adorable in his new outfit. We had 2 pews full of family members.

I was so worried about Jake crying or spitting up but of course none of that happened. We stood up and handed him to the preacher and that marked the beginning of "The Jake Show." He smiled and cooed and laughed. The preacher turned him to face the congregation and Jake gave them his biggest cutest smile and they all laughed. He was a perfect angel.

It was a great weekend and we are so lucky to have such a big and loving family all on hand to witness the precious moment. What a special day for all of us! So, thanks to all who traveled far and wide to be with us. Brian and I appreicate your love and support more than you know.

Have a wonderful week. WAR EAGLE!

Another Week

It was a pretty boring week for us. We had swimming lessons on Tuesday and Thursday. Jake is getting to be quite the little fish. He hasn't totally mastered closing his mouth when he goes under. But at least he comes up smiling. He and his friend Davis have a great time splashing their mommies.

Brian had a bachelor party in Nashville so he was gone this weekend. Jake and I had a great time hanging out and watching some football. He wasn't allowed to stay up for the whole Auburn game...which was a good thing because it was painful to watch. I guess a win is a win no matter how ugly. Hopefully we will kick it into gear for LSU next weekend.

Speaking of next weekend. We are all excited to see the entire family! That's right everyone is coming to Atlanta for Jake's baptism. We can't wait! It's going to be lots of fun.

Party Central

We have had a fun filled weekend. I am still trying to get over it. Last week Jake had his 6 month pictures taken. He was such a good boy! He smiled and laughed on cue I was very impressed. I can't wait to see the proofs. We had lunch with my college roommate Jamie and her little girl Payton. It was great, we had some food and shopped with the little ones. Lots of fun...especially for Jake who loaded up on some more clothes.

Saturday we went to a baby shower for Katie and Andy. She is due in October and we can't wait to meet their little one. The shower was lots of fun. Jake got to hang out with his buddy Matty and they were definitely a hit with the ladies. Jake is such a flirt. He just laughs and giggles at all the girls.

Sunday we had Brendan's 2nd birthday party. So we spent the evening with lots of kids running around. It's always nice to relax and talk with friends.

The big news is Jake has passed his swimming class. We have had so much fun we signed up for the next one. He just kicks and flaps his arms. It is so much fun to watch him. He even goes under. He loves it.

Hope you all have a great week! War Eagle!

Labor Day 2008

War Eagle!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend. It has been a fun filled week with Jake. He got to have his first taste of "real" food. PEAS! You can tell from the pictures peas are not going to be his favorite. We moved on to squash this weekend and that seems to be a hit. He is enjoying being a big boy and eating solid foods. He makes all kinds of sounds too while he is eating...so cute.

Friday, Jake and I visited my old company's new office and had lunch with my friend Heather. We took the tour and at the very end...up came some peas on the brand new carpet. Of course. I guess Jake wanted to make his mark at ASD. Oops.

Saturday marked the beginning of football season. Jake dressed up in his Auburn attire as did Brian. Jake and I sent Brian off to Auburn to cheer on the Tigers. War Eagle! Of course I took lots of pictures and even got a shaker out. Jake didn't know what to think of the shaker.

Sunday, we joined a bunch of friends and went out to Stone Mountain Park to enjoy and outdoor concert. Jake's first concert. It was very hot but it didn't seem to bother Jake a bit. He laughed and played on the blanket and had a grand time. We will definitely have to get back there when he is a little older. They have lots of fun things for kids.

Monday we decided to go shopping. A certain little someone has outgrown all of his clothes. He is just growing growing growing. So we loaded up and went to the outlet mall. We walked, shopped, Jake ate some squash and took a long nap. We found all kinds of good deals so hopefully Jake should be set for a little while. I can't believe I am buying 12 month outfits for my 6 month old! Crazy. Oh well.

I hope you all have a great week! Go Tigers!
