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!

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!
