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!
