Hope you all enjoyed the slideshow......I thought you might like to see some pictures taken on Jake's birthday as well. Jason made him a three flavored super decker birthday cake with chocolate icing! We kindly placed the entire cake in front of him so that he could enjoy it before we got our hands on it as well!
It has been another big month for Jake- lots of changing and growing. He is still very focused on learning to walk......and even took his first steps the day before his birthday!! So far he has taken about 3-4 steps on his own- he does this when I hold him out in front of me so that he takes steps back towards me or when Jason and I sit apart from each other and he takes steps back and forth to each of us. He gets sooo excited and is very proud of himself (as we are of him)!
He has also been fascinated by the concept of in and out.....he loves pulling things out and putting them back and taking them out again and putting them back in something else. He moves from one toy to the next, crawls all around the house, and pulls himself up to a standing position on almost anything. He is all over the place and having so much fun. We also switched him to cow's milk, which he is learning to drink from a cup. And he now gets to sit in his forward facing car seat when we are driving in the car, which he likes so much better. We go for his one year check up on the 11th, so we will find out his stats soon and will keep you posted!
