Back By Popular Demand...

You asked for it (mom) and you got it!! We sure have been busy growing, eating, and living!!  Jake is now 8 MONTHS old!!  When he was first born I remember around 2 months (when I was EXHAUSTED)  people would ask me "doesn't it go so fast" and I would think "um, NO.  You clearly are not waking up with him every night.  I have felt ever SINGLE day that has gone by!!!"  But now I can totally see what they meant. 

So what has Jake been up to??  Well, let me tell you.  He has been VERY busy growing teeth.  He has 5 teeth!! 3 on top and 2 on bottom!  My sister calls him Dr. Teeth, because he has a PHD in teeth growing!  Seriously, he cute 3 teeth in ONE week! 

The first 2 came in February which I fondly refer to as the month of hell.  After my adorable little post about our time in Dallas for Valentines Day where Jake was such a good boy he decided to retaliate.  In his defense, he cut his first 2 teeth at one time and that was literally HELL for him... Then after the week of torture from the teeth, I got the stomach flu - of course I couldn't be the ONLY one to get it.  The next day as I was still recovering, Sean started to feel bad.  Then the next day guess who got it?  If you guessed Jake you were right!  

In March, Sean and I took our first trip without the babe. We went skiing in Beaver Creek, CO.  He stayed with my sister and her family and had a great time!  Thanks yall for watching him!

Jake is ALMOST a full time crawler.  For now he will crawl a few steps, stop, do a push up, then decide to roll where he is going.  Sometimes I think he is perfectly content rolling everywhere...       

I'm Back!!!

Everything, and I mean everything goes in his mouth these days, but it is usually his fingers.

Jake is giving the camera his look at how handsome I am face

Papaw and Jake being silly and having fun!

What's up next for Jake?  Well, his CA cousins are coming to visit him in April for a little Fiesta Fun!  We are so excited to see them!!  Stay tuned...

Jake's First Easter

For Easter, we went to Marble Falls to visit Sean's mother's side of the family. We had a great time catching up with everyone. Nice meal, Nice wine, Nice Holiday!! Last time we were up there I was about 7 months pregnant with Jake, so it was nice to not be and show off our little (big) guy! Thanks Kim and Byron for having us, we had so much fun and can't wait to go swimming this summer in your new pool!!


Rare picture of a sleeping Jake and wine drinking Mommy!

Look at how nice Sean looks, me blabbing...

Jake knew he was supposed to be looking at the camera, he tried to tell us...

Malcomb and the animals, she is loveable, but also has a bag of carrots!

Thanks again everyone for making Jake's first Easter so special!!
