Weekend at the Sewell's

First of all CONGRATS go out to our friends Katie and Andy on the birth of their little girl Lucy James. A little girlfriend for Jake!

Well we have had a fun filled week. Jake continues to go to a Mommy's Day Out program at the church around the corner. I just drop him off and he has a great time. I say "bye bye Jake" from the door and he barely looks at me. He loves playing with the other kids.

We went off to Harwell, GA this weekend to see Anna's new house. Now Jake's cousin John Payne is only 1 hour and 45 minutes away! We had a great time. Saturday we went to a pumpkin farm. The boys had a great time looking at the animals and playing in the hay. Jake took his first hayride and we stopped in a pumpkin patch where John Payne examined many pumpkins before he chose just the right one. On the way back Jake of course spit his passie over the edge (way to go!). Brian being the good daddy went back and made the effort to at least look for it and he found it! Thank goodness it was Jake's favorite! Catastrophe averted! What a fantastic time we all had at the farm!

We were only in Hartwell for a little over 24 hours and Jake hit three, yes three milestones! First, he was on his tummy and found his way to a sitting position all by himself! Then a few minutes later he starting clapping. He has been trying and trying and finally those chubby hands connected! He loves to hear me clap and say "Yea Jake!" And if those two things weren't enough, Sunday morning he woke up with a brand new tooth poking out. That makes 2 teeth and counting! What a weekend!

I hope you all enjoy the pictures. This week I am on a mission to find a costume for Halloween. Have a great week everyone!

7 1/2 Months

I hope you all have had a great couple weeks. Lots has happened in the past two weeks. Jake had a touch of hand, foot and mouth disease. Luckily it was very mild and he just had a few dots on his hands and feet. Unfortunately he shared his sickness with his friend Davis. So sorry Davis! Hope you feel better soon!

Jake has also gotten his first tooth. It poked through about a week ago. This has not stopped the drooling. I think he has an infinite supply of drool. But I feel the other bottom tooth trying to come through too so soon he will have two teeth! Go Jake!

I can tell he is just dying to crawl. He gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth. Poor little guy just can't quite figure it out. But he looks so cute trying to reach for things. He ends up just rolling around until he gets where he wants to go. He has also started standing next to the couch, which he thinks is the funneist thing. Jake just smiles and laughs until he topples over.

Jake is also very into peekaboo. For some reason his favorite game is when Brian covers his head with a towel and Jake tries to break free. He just laughs and laughs under the towel. So cute!

Today we visited the pumpkin patch at our church. I know I was the most excited of the family. I love pumpkins! I can't wait to carve pumpkins on Halloween. I still haven't decided what Jake is going to be this year but I know he will be adorable!
