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!
