Jake turned 1/2 today.

He is 1/2.

I'm 1/2. You're not.

Taller than Snoopy!

And at the request of Mimi and everyone at her work...

We celebrated Jake's 1/2 birthday with 1/2 of a cake.
(By the way, I'm VERY bad at icing cakes.)

That had 1/2 of a candle.

He was ready to go after that cake.

Happy Half Birthday Jake!

Recent activities of Jake:

Holding, grabbing, and eating his feet at all times.

And eating his hands at all OTHER times.

Oh, and also eating everything else.

He recently discovered he has functioning fingers.
He's enjoying that discovery.

I've been reading to him since he was born, but now he seems to really be paying attention to the books, wanting to touch them and grab the pages.

He finally plays with all of the toys on the exersaucer.

And reaches for things too.

Although he's not big enough for the doorway jumper...

doesn't have any teeth...

and can't sit up or roll over...

He can stand for a few seconds when leaning against something.
Go Jake!

1. The guy in front of us was confused about what team he was watching.

2. People around us got mad at me for making fun of the band for playing Proud Mary.

3. The moon was orange.

The End.

Oh yeah. And the Razorbacks won 48-10.

Mama and Daddy love Dr. Pepper. Jake wants some too.
We were up at Jon's classroom a few weeks ago and Mimi and Pop stopped by with some lunch. Jake wanted the Dr. Pepper.

Last weekend my mom came to visit. Here were our adventures.

Granna loves hummingbirds.
So she read Jake his hummingbird book.

He was very interested in it!

We tried to show him how to roll over.

Granna tickled him a lot.

Granna wanted to go see the ducks at the Peabody. So we did.
Jake was excited about the Duck Master.

Yay ducks!

Yay Jake!

Jake plus the ducks.

"Tee-hee-hee. I love ducks."

Ducks ducks ducks.

And ducks.

Then we walked around the Peabody taking pictures.

He has a jungle picture frame I was trying to get a good picture for.

And one with Granna.

Jake, Granna, and art.

The fancy bathroom at the Peabody: towels to dry your hands on.

Back at the house the next day.

And then Jake said, "Jack! How dare you get in our picture!"

And Granna took pictures of me cutting Jake's toenails.

He was very excited about the backyard.

Standing up!

Bedtime.

They are obsessed with each other.

He pinned me Mama!

Jake now opens his mouth to lick anything you put in front of it. Unfortunately, if you're not paying attention, that is Jack's tongue.

We're buds.

I can't leave them unsupervised.

And the rest of these were with my little camera that doesn't take as good pictures. I just didn't want to miss the chance to get these, not knowing it was going to last so long. Therefore some of them are super fuzzy.

Why is this dog licking my hand?

Posing it up.

A little more hand licking. Jake seems to like it this time.

And a little more french kissing.
(I don't allow it. They're just so quick!)

Each morning Jake spends a few minutes chewing on his pajama feet before letting me know he's awake. How do I know? They're wet every morning. These are when I took him into the living room to change in to day clothes on two different days.

Since I did an A&M theme back in May, I thought I should honor Jon's favorite college team in September for football season.

Go Hogs!

Be tough!

But be cool!
