Cincinnati Trip

Jake is all over the place these days. He is pulling up and cruising around. He hasn't taken that first step yet but its just a matter of time. He can stand by himself until he wants to move and then he falls over. But he is definitely on his way. Maybe before his first birthday which is rapidly approaching. I can't believe he will be one!

Jake had a playdate with his friend Payton last week. We went to her new house and played with all her toys. There are a few pictures of them.

Tuesday Jake and I set off for Cincinnati. Jake got his first glimpse of snow. Well from the inside of the car anyway. There were lots of snow flurries on the way up to Ohio. He was pretty much an angel in the car until the last 20 minutes or so. I would say I was pretty lucky!

We went to Cincinnati to see my brother be inducted into the Milford High School Hall of Fame. Last year he was inducted to his college (Kent State) Hall of Fame and we missed it because I was like 9 1/2 months pregnant. So I was very happy to be able to go to this ceremony and get to see Johnny before he ships off to Arizona for spring training. For those of you who don't know we are no longer Pittsburgh Pirate fans...now we root for the White Sox!

Anyway, lots of his friends and family were at the induction ceremony. It was lots of fun but way past Jake's bedtime. He made it through the ceremony...clapping for his Uncle when then announced his name but afterwards he had to go home to bed! He did enjoy a few minutes of a basketball game. He kept throwing up his hands for a touchdown. Very cute! He also stared at the cheerleaders for about 5 mintues. Boys will be boys.

I guess that is it for us. Happy Birthday to Aunt Lyndsay! Hope you all have a great week.

A New Year

Happy 2009 everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. Now the new year has set in and I am getting back into the swing of things. I didn't take a lot of pictures but I wanted to get a few new ones up. We have been busy with playdates and lunches and lots of shopping trips.

Jake is into everything. He is all over the place, pulling up on the couch, the table, even doors and windows. I think walking is in the not too distant future. I can't believe he will be one next month! Yikes!

His appetite has definitely expanded. He loves all foods (except maybe the green beans Mommy insists on feeding him). I would say this week yogurt and cheese are his favorite things. I tried a scrambled egg and he wanted nothing to do with it. Maybe if I put some cheese in it he will like it.

Next week Jake and I are traveling to Cincinnati to see Uncle Johnny inducted into the Milford High School Hall of Fame. So we get to see Grandma and Poppy...and maybe even some snow!
