So Behind

OK...so having a one year old, working full time, and still trying to find time to see friends & family is kind of hard. I don't know if anyone out there knows that! Anyway, so much has changed since October. First of all, Jake is walking, well I guess I should say running everywhere. He wants nothing to do with a stroller, cart, or anything that resembles a restraint. Mr. Independence is what I call him, Jason tells him "you're just like your mother!" :) Jakob has 5 teeth and counting. The 6th & possibly 7th teeth are coming in. He looks so funny with two bottom teeth, one top tooth, & two upper molars. But none of this stops him from eating whatever he wants. He is really starting to talk now too. When you ask him what a dinosaur or cow says, he will "roar" & "moo" appropriately. Sometimes, he will "quack" for a duck and the rest of the animals 'roar' if they should or not. His favorite words are 'more & done' which he uses all of the time, unless it's more fun to throw the food on the floor and then he just does that!



We are finishing up plans for our first official family vacation. We weren't really planning on going anywhere, but we have a week to use at a resort or we will lose it and we have the vacation time so we thought why not!? We are going to Orlando with Uncle Neil, Aunt Michelle, Sistene, & of course Izaiah. Jason can get really cheap 4 day passes to Disney with the military so we have most of the week planned for us! The resort will have 4 pools so I know Jake will be entertained. He loves the water, but hasn't been in a "big pool" yet. We are all getting excited, but there is so much to do in the two months before we leave!



Speaking of Jake in the pool...I'm adding a picture of Jakob in his little pool that Aunt Michelle got for him. He didn't know what to think of the entire situation at first. He kept looking at us like he was thinking, "I'm outside, in clothes, and in the water. Somethings not right here!" By the third time of being in the pool though, he ran to it and jumped in before Jason could catch him, clothes, sandels, regular diaper and all! He was really wet when Mommy got home!!









Well that's enough of an update for now. I really will try to get better about updating more often. Especially as Jake is doing so many new things all of the time.
