Round and Round We Go!

Today, Jake kept walking around his music table while talking very loudly to himself. He is pretty proud of himself that he can get around so well! He was too funny!

Standing Mania

Now that Jake has figured out the art of standing up and sitting down, it is all we do. He is starting to slowly cruise along the edges of the furniture, so I'm sure just standing up will soon be out of style. Jake had his 9 month checkup a few weeks ago. He is 20 lbs 3 oz and 28 in. tall. Jake also just cut his 5th tooth. He is growing up way to fast!! My favorite thing that he does is that when he hears the garage door at night, he crawls over to the top of the stairs to wait for Jason. He is always so excited to see his Daddy come home! Jason and I spent our first night away from Jake last weekend. We had a wonderful, relaxing time and it was really nice spending one on one time with Jason again. We missed our little guy and were so excited to see him when we got home! Thanks Grandma Connie for watching him! Jake and Reagan are now inseparable! They have quickly become BFF's. Jake has always loved Reagan, and now that Jake feeds himself and her, Reagan LOVES him too :) We have to baby gate Jake out of the kitchen when Reagan eats her food because he will try to eat the dog food right along with her. They are quite the pair. Well, I'd better wrap this up and head to bed. Here are just a few more random pics of Jake playing.....well, Jake and Jason :)

Look Mom!!!

Jake has been pulling himself up since the day after Christmas, but last night he figured out that he can stand up in his crib. The sad part is that he can't quite figure out how to sit back down. Not a big deal during the day, but at 1am and 4am it's a little harder.

Corpus Christmas

We went to Jason's parent's house for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We had such a great time. Here are a few pics. I will update with more later because I have some of Jason, Jake and I together, but they are on Jason's work computer. Speaking of computers, Santa got Jake just what he wanted!Jake loves looking out the window....and licking the window as well :)Jake loved playing with his Aunt Melissa and Aunt Alissa! Jake played a lot with his Grandma and Grandpa too! Jake's cousin, Payton, got a special email from Santa!! Jake had to check out all of the excitement! Jake did well on the car ride home. He took a nap and quietly looked at his books. This is pretty rare for him :) I wanted to thank both of our families for making Jake's first Christmas such a special event!
