Beach Trips

Jake had so much fun visiting with his Nanny down at the beach recently. We went back and forth to see her a couple of times during her nice long two week stay! Here we are enjoying the intracoastal waterway near our place:







Jake also had fun playing around the house. He even got to enjoy a fudgesicle one night, thanks to his Nanny!




Jason worked a bunch during our first trip there. And Jake helped:


We enjoyed many bike rides while we were there too. We would ride through the neighborhood or down to the boat dock to dip in the water or catch some sunsets. It was such a nice trip!


We miss you already Nanny- thanks for everything!

Front Page

Jake made the front page of our local newspaper on July 15th! His Pops was swinging him at the park and a photographer with the newspaper snapped several pictures of them. Here is the picture that was in the paper:



This is the link to see the actual clip that was in the newspaper:

It was so neat- the clip was huge in the paper and right in the middle of the front page!

Sorry I haven't posted any new pictures lately, we have been back and forth to the beach visiting with Jake's Nanny. I will be posting pictures from those trips soon!

Another Milestone

Well, Jake just turned 1 1/2 yrs old on the 4th of July! Wow- he is growing up so fast. It was a little hot that day, so we escaped to the mall where Jake likes to run around in the play area:




Look, 1 1/2 and he already knows how to drive. Jake loves to get in our cars or sit on anything that runs and act like he is driving! It is really cute- he imitates the motor sound with his mouth:



Here he is being measured afterward (he has already grown a couple of inches since his 1st birthday!) :



And here he is later that night doing a "potty dance" in his crib because he was so excited that he had used his new potty seat! We recently started potty training and I have to say that Jake is doing a great job- we are so proud of him!

And here are some more cute pictures taken of him the next day:



Hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend!

Problem Solved

I figured out another way to upload pictures from our camera, so....problem solved! Here are some pictures I was wanting to post back when we started having problems with our camera. So, they are out of order. But, oh well...





Jake was happy because he "talked" me into letting him walk around with the whole bag of chips!



Too Cute!

Tricycle

Jake has another little radio flyer that he rides around by pushing his feet against the ground. He has been having fun with it lately, but his legs have outgrown it....so we upgraded to a tricycle. This one is still a little too big for him, but he has really been interested in it (especially after he got to go out on bike rides with us at the beach recently)!



And some cute pictures of him goofing off:
