Pictures!

Finally.....some pictures! We are still having problems with our camera, so we are using disposable cameras temporarily. Jason has been busy working on our place at the beach. These pictures were taken on a recent quick trip we took there.



The film overlapped on some of our photos as you can see by the black stripe running down/across some of the pictures, but they are still cute! Here we are enjoying the beach:

Camera Problems!!

Sorry to all those waiting for updated pictures of Jake! Something is wrong with our camera. I am having trouble uploading pictures to our computer, so it might be a little bit before I can get some new pictures up for y'all to see. I will put some up as soon as I can!

The Zoo

Here are some pictures from some of our recent trips to the Zoo. I thought this would be a great thing to do with Jake, so we ended up getting a membership. The Zoo here is amazing. I have often heard people compare it to the San Diego Zoo. We have definitely been enjoying it!

Graduation

Jason's nephew is graduating from high school today. Here are some pictures from his graduation party yesterday. Jake was able to get in the big pool, but he was a little timid. He really loved playing with his cousins though!

17 Months

Jake turned 17 months old yesterday- he seems more and more grown up every day. He had fun playing in the little pool in front of the house, but I really need to take him to the big pool soon- he loves the water!



Later that night, we took him to a free concert the City put on in the park. They hold this free concert series throughout the summer months here. That night happened to be Blue Grass, so that was really fun! Here are some pictures of Jake enjoying the evening:







This past month, Jake seemed to grow much more aware of what was going on around him. When you talk to him, he has a look in his eyes like he is really starting to pay attention and comprehend what you are saying. He continues to say more words- he even floored us the other day by saying "crocodile". One of us had just said the word and he repeated it almost perfectly, we almost fell out of our seats!

His climbing skills have continued to grow. He can get higher on the playground set pretty much on his own now. He loves to climb into his stroller by himself. And really loves to fasten the seat belt. He will stand by his stroller for 20-30 minutes sometimes, just playing with the seat belt latches and trying to get them fastened. He is amazing and so, so smart!
