Jake is ONE!

Well Jake is officially one. We had his birthday party on Saturday and we had a great turn out. Almost all of our family and friends were able to come and help us celebrate Jake's very first birthday. It was so much fun. Thank you to everyone who came. Jake had a ball.

Jake didn't really get into his cupcake at his party but since he has enjoyed the leftovers. He wolfs down a cupcake in like a minute. He definitely takes after his mommy in that respect.

We went to the doctor on Monday and Jake is up to 29 inches long and 23 pounds 9 ounces. He also got some shots and we pretty mad about that for a while. Poor little guy. The doctor says he is doing great.

This weekend we are doing nothing! We have been busy busy busy the last few weekends and are looking forward to spending a little quality time together at home. Hope you all have a great week and enjoy the new pictures.

Poughkeepsie NY

I hope you all had a very Happy Valentine's Day. Brian, Jake and I spent our holiday in Poughkeepsie, NY visiting my grandma. We survived Jake's first plane ride. Jake did great! He was practically and angel on both flights. He even slept for about an hour! He made friends with the passengers behind us by sticking his little hands through the seats. Luckily they had as much fun as he did. We had such fun in Poughkeepsie visiting my grandma. Brian had never been to Poughkeepsie so he got to see the sites. It was so great to see her and catch up with my Aunt Linda and her husband and kids. Jake especially loved my cousin Molly. She was great and followed Jake everywhere he crawled. It was definitely a nice break for me and Jake had a great time too!

Jake has two new teeth these days. He is also standing like a champ. One of these days he will take those fateful first steps and then life as we know it is over! After lots of practice Brian has finally gotten Jake to throw his arms up when he hears "Touchdown!" He also holds up one finger when you say "how old are you?" or "one." It really is too cute. So you will see lots of pictures of touchdown and one.

This weekend is Jake's first birthday party. I know I have said it before but I can't believe it has been a year already! He has truly been a blessing in our lives. Lots of our family and friends are coming this weekend to help celebrate Jake's birthday...and Brian's too since Jake's party is on Brian's actual birthday! We can't wait! I know it's going to be lots of fun!

Hope you all have a great week!

Trip to Sandersville

I hope everyone is doing well. We have been great. We have been very busy these days. Jake's friend Davis moved closer (yeah!) to us so Jake went over to help Davis pack. I got some cute pictures of the two of them "helping." A couple days later Davis came over for a play date. So fun!

Jake is still pulling up on everything and loves to look outside. I know he can't wait for it to get warm outside so he can be free. Needless to say we have little hand prints on all the windows at knee level. Brian has taught Jake to hold up one finger. So we constantly ask him how old he is going to be and he puts up that little finger. It's so cute. I cannot believe in two weeks he will be one! Time really flies.

This past weekend we went to Sandersville and Jake got to spend lots of time with John Payne. Oh goodness they are already a handful. It was great fun and Jake got lots of attention from everyone. He loved it!

This weekend we are taking our first flight with Jake. We are going to Poughkeepsie NY to see my grandma. I hope Brian and I have the patience to get through a 2 hour flight with him. He is never still so I don't know how this is going to work out. Oh well, hopefully we won't bother the other passengers too much.

Hope you all have a great week and Happy Valentine's Day!
