First of all CONGRATS go out to our friends Katie and Andy on the birth of their little girl Lucy James. A little girlfriend for Jake!
Well we have had a fun filled week. Jake continues to go to a Mommy's Day Out program at the church around the corner. I just drop him off and he has a great time. I say "bye bye Jake" from the door and he barely looks at me. He loves playing with the other kids.
We went off to Harwell, GA this weekend to see Anna's new house. Now Jake's cousin John Payne is only 1 hour and 45 minutes away! We had a great time. Saturday we went to a pumpkin farm. The boys had a great time looking at the animals and playing in the hay. Jake took his first hayride and we stopped in a pumpkin patch where John Payne examined many pumpkins before he chose just the right one. On the way back Jake of course spit his passie over the edge (way to go!). Brian being the good daddy went back and made the effort to at least look for it and he found it! Thank goodness it was Jake's favorite! Catastrophe averted! What a fantastic time we all had at the farm!
We were only in Hartwell for a little over 24 hours and Jake hit three, yes three milestones! First, he was on his tummy and found his way to a sitting position all by himself! Then a few minutes later he starting clapping. He has been trying and trying and finally those chubby hands connected! He loves to hear me clap and say "Yea Jake!" And if those two things weren't enough, Sunday morning he woke up with a brand new tooth poking out. That makes 2 teeth and counting! What a weekend!
I hope you all enjoy the pictures. This week I am on a mission to find a costume for Halloween. Have a great week everyone!

7 1/2 Months
I hope you all have had a great couple weeks. Lots has happened in the past two weeks. Jake had a touch of hand, foot and mouth disease. Luckily it was very mild and he just had a few dots on his hands and feet. Unfortunately he shared his sickness with his friend Davis. So sorry Davis! Hope you feel better soon!
Jake has also gotten his first tooth. It poked through about a week ago. This has not stopped the drooling. I think he has an infinite supply of drool. But I feel the other bottom tooth trying to come through too so soon he will have two teeth! Go Jake!
I can tell he is just dying to crawl. He gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth. Poor little guy just can't quite figure it out. But he looks so cute trying to reach for things. He ends up just rolling around until he gets where he wants to go. He has also started standing next to the couch, which he thinks is the funneist thing. Jake just smiles and laughs until he topples over.
Jake is also very into peekaboo. For some reason his favorite game is when Brian covers his head with a towel and Jake tries to break free. He just laughs and laughs under the towel. So cute!
Today we visited the pumpkin patch at our church. I know I was the most excited of the family. I love pumpkins! I can't wait to carve pumpkins on Halloween. I still haven't decided what Jake is going to be this year but I know he will be adorable!

7 Months Old
War Eagle!
I hope you all had a great weekend. We didn't really do much this week. I had my first Mother's Morning Out. Every Tuesday I take him to a church around the corner for 4 hours. After the baptism last weekend I decided to do absolutely nothing for 4 hours. It was great but I was itching to go pick him up. The ladies said he did great. I knew he would.
He is trying to crawl. I can tell he wants to so badly. He just reaches and reaches for toys that are out of his reach. He kind of rolls where he wants to go. Poor guy just hasn't figured it out yet. When he does I know I am in trouble! He will be everywhere and into everything!
Friday night Jake had his first fever. So far we have had a very healthy baby so needless to say Brian and I were a little nervous. I don't know how many times we took his temperature but it was at least every 30 minutes. Of course he was fine the next day. I am pretty sure Jake is getting a tooth. The drool...oh the drool. A faucet that won't turn off!
I decided to weigh the big guy since he is now 7 months old. He weighs 19 pound 12 ounces and is 27 3/4 inches tall. Yes he is quite a load.
A couple weeks ago I had his 6 month pictures taken. If you want to view them, the link is on the "My Favorite Links" page. Go to Clients and the password is jakem. He is the cutest baby ever I am pretty sure! Hope you all have a great week.

Jake's Baptism
Well it was a sad weekend to be a Tiger fan but all was forgotten on Sunday when we had Jake baptized. Both sides of our family made it to the big event. It was wonderful. Jake looked adorable in his new outfit. We had 2 pews full of family members.
I was so worried about Jake crying or spitting up but of course none of that happened. We stood up and handed him to the preacher and that marked the beginning of "The Jake Show." He smiled and cooed and laughed. The preacher turned him to face the congregation and Jake gave them his biggest cutest smile and they all laughed. He was a perfect angel.
It was a great weekend and we are so lucky to have such a big and loving family all on hand to witness the precious moment. What a special day for all of us! So, thanks to all who traveled far and wide to be with us. Brian and I appreicate your love and support more than you know.
Have a wonderful week. WAR EAGLE!

Another Week
It was a pretty boring week for us. We had swimming lessons on Tuesday and Thursday. Jake is getting to be quite the little fish. He hasn't totally mastered closing his mouth when he goes under. But at least he comes up smiling. He and his friend Davis have a great time splashing their mommies.
Brian had a bachelor party in Nashville so he was gone this weekend. Jake and I had a great time hanging out and watching some football. He wasn't allowed to stay up for the whole Auburn game...which was a good thing because it was painful to watch. I guess a win is a win no matter how ugly. Hopefully we will kick it into gear for LSU next weekend.
Speaking of next weekend. We are all excited to see the entire family! That's right everyone is coming to Atlanta for Jake's baptism. We can't wait! It's going to be lots of fun.
