Memorial Day 2009

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend. As usual Jake has been keeping us busy. He walks everywhere now. I can tell he loves the freedom. He does not want to hold anyone's hand he just wants to walk by himself. It's so fun to see him exploring the world.

A couple weeks ago Hilary and I decided to be brave and take Jake and Davis to Kangazoom. If you don't know, its a huge warehouse that has all kinds of those bouncy castles and slides. They have a smaller baby area and toddler area for kids Jake's age. Two thumbs up! Jake fell asleep in the car 2 minutes into the drive.

Hilary and I have also signed the boys up for a play group. Jake and I went last week (since the MacIsaac's were are the beach...no fair!). Jake had a ball. We sang songs and jumped around. They did puppet shows and had all kinds of stations to go through. Then they brought out the bubbles. It's amazing what some bubbles will do to a room full of kids. They were all gathered under the bubble machine shrieking (and i do mean shrieking) with joy.

We also made a trip to the doctor for Jake's 15 month visit. In true Jake fashion he went running into our room tripped and fell into a chair. Cried big tears for about 10 seconds and had a huge knot on his head when the doctor came in. Wonderful right? So, Jake has grown 3 inches in 3 months. I was shocked! Of course with that came almost 4 more pounds. SO glad he is walking and I don't have to carry 27 pounds 1.5 ounces around anymore. The doctor says he is doing great. So we are pleased to have such a wonderful healthy baby...sorry toddler!

This weekend John Payne brought his parents down to Atlanta and Nana and Papa came up and we all went to the zoo on Monday. John Payne was so excited he woke up at 7 am Monday morning and did not stop talking about going to the zoo until we were there. He was so cute. The boys had a great time seeing the animals, sharing some popcorn and riding the rides. A nice way to spend a holiday. Afterward we went to lunch and John Payne fell asleep on the table mid-chew. Obviously he had a great time.

That's about it for us. We don't have much on the agenda for the summer other than a beach trip in June. Hope you all enjoy the summer weather!
