Best Buds

My two favorite people in the whole wide world.  I'm thinking Jake is starting to look an awful like his daddy.  I mean seriously, could they be ANY cuter??!!

Golden Retriever?

Now that he's mobile Jake had to figure out how to get from point A to point B,C,D,E and so on with whatever toy he is fixated on at the moment. Well, now he's reminding me an awful lot of a dog...

Oh, he LOVES his lovey!  It's his best friend, it goes every where with him.

Jake, his bull dog, and a little bit of pink eye...

Ritzy Rugrat

My friend Jessica and her mom Anne started a monnogramming company not to long ago.  We sure have had fun picking out all sorts of cute things.  They are really affordable and have some SUPER cute things.  If you want to check them out on facebook, look under Ritzy Rugrats. Or you can go to the website at www.etsy.com/shop/ritzyrugrats

Seriously, could he be ANY cuter??!!

9 Months Old!

Hard to believe it, but believe it folks - Jake is 9 months old! We went to his nine month check up and he is weighing in at 21 lbs 10 oz (64%tile) and is 28 1/2 inches (50%tile).

Boy oh boy has Jake been busy acheiving some MAJOR milestones since we last checked in with yall.  He can say "mama" which melts my heart when he looks at me and says it.  However, quickly thereafter he will look at our dog and say "mama..."  BUT he knows exactly who I am when he wakes up in the morning and I haven't come in to get him out of bed yet and I will hear "mamamamamamamamamam" over the monitor.  After a lot of coaching he now will say "dada"

He has also started crawling(real crawl, not army crawl, 8 1/2 months) and pulls up on everything.  When he isn't thinking about it he will lift up his hands and will be standing on his own, as soon as he realizes it though he falls.  We think he'll be walking really soon

I am still his absolute most favorite person.  I'm not just saying this because I am the one writng this post.  Sean will absolutley agree but he knows he is a close second.    

Here is Jake on his first day back to school.  He loves his teachers, they are the same ones as before.  Nice little expected bonus, Jake got pink eye and an ear infection first week back.  Poor baby! 

Amber and JJ!

Jake's cousins, Amber and JJ, came to visit us. We had so much fun hanging out with all of our family.  We did so much fun stuff.  We went to NIOSA, to Rudy's, had a pool party at Mimi and Papaw's house and a BBQ at Travis and Nicole's.  Here are just a few snaps of such a fun weekend!  Thanks Amber and JJ for coming to Texas!  We love yall!
