13 Months Old!

I debated whether or not to continue the monthly Snoopy pictures. I've rolled my eyes at people who have continued the pictures after a year. However, I decided I didn't want to give it up yet. So deal with it.

He only wanted to smile with his tongue out.

The happiness and drooling still continues.

He can almost do a full sit-up on his own.
Especially when we hold his legs down.

He now has 8 1/2 teeth.
4 1/2 on top.

And four straight-up-shaped-like-a-W on the bottom.

As of late...

The child has finally caught up with the rest of earth and was 70th percentile on height, 50th on weight and rockin' the 98th percentile on head size. And he got his 12 month shots and got this super great camo band-aid because he was so tough.

Our trees in the backyard bloomed!

He has returned to the age of chewing on his socks and feet.
That age being 6 months old.

He has started to pull up on the coffee table.
Sometimes he stops to take a bite out of it.

And sometimes he finds the newspaper
or magazines on the coffee table.

He isn't crawling or walking or anything, but started his physical therapy last week. They said they think he's going to progress really quickly, and I agree. He's started making progress on his own at home too, with the trying to stand and pull up, and moving around faster on his belly non-crawling style (such as pushing backward across the room, or rotating in place.)

Sunday

There were several essential photo taking opportunities today.

This morning his eyes were super shiny at breakfast.

He's so happy at breakfast time.

I love Cheerios!

I bought the shirt he wore to church today back in the fall, hoping he could wear it sometime in the fall, since it was 6-9 months. It got too cold before he could wear it, but it shockingly still fit when I tried it on him today. So yay! I had to get some pictures of him in it. Yay argyle sweaters!

Mwahaha. I got what I really wanted... the lens cap!

Nothing makes me happier than a lens cap.

It's the most fun when you shake it around speedy quick.

I will smile if you let me hold the lens cap.

I will be sad if you take it away.

This afternoon, I pulled Jake around the yard in his wagon just for fun.

Wagon? Still love it.

Wait. What's Jack doing?

Don't I look a little suspicious?

Hey! I can lift this thing with my foot!

Whee! We're in motion and this is fun!

It Happened Again



This was the first time.

Happy Easter!

"He is not here. He has risen, just as He said!"
Matthew 28:6

Last night we went to our church's HUGE musical production of the life of Christ that they do every other year. It was incredible!

The crowd on Palm Sunday.

The Crucifixion

The Ascension of Christ

We had a weekend long Easter celebration 'round these parts. We went over to Jon's parents' house for Easter dinner on Friday night, because it was the only time the whole family could be there.

Jake loves his cousins.

I'm sad that it's blurry.

Then we went in the backyard to hunt some eggs.

I found one!

Wow! This basketball is shaped like an egg!
Or is it an egg that looks like a basketball?

Egg hunting is fun!

Checking out the findings.

Look Mama! A football!

Jake's bounty. Including a green dyed
egg with a J on it from Alyssa Kate.

Jake and Daddy lookin' sharp.

Mimi made cute Easter basket cupcakes for dessert.

Eatin' some Easter ham.
I edited his bib from last year...

Then Saturday afternoon...

Jake likes his bunny ears.

Jack wondered where his bunny ears were.

Hey up there!

And Sunday after church...

I'm ready to pounce on you!
Oh, and this is my Easter basket from Mimi!

He got two swimsuits, a play outfit, and a stuffed bunny.

Sometimes it's fun to ride your Easter basket.

He enjoyed it a little more than last year.

It's funny how baggy this 12 month shirt is!

Hey Mama.

The Easter Bunny came to our house too!

Checking out the gifts from E.B.

Can we go take these for a test drive?

Jake was more interested in playing
with Snoopy than posing with Snoopy.

Snoopy shrank since last year.

New Jammies

When we were in Fort Worth we found Jake some new "big guy" pajamas... aka two piece. We went into a resale shop and found a bunch of them, so he's all set for the spring and summer. I think he looks pretty darn cute in them!

I like my new jammies!

They make me super flexible!

They make me super smiley!

They're great to lounge around in!

Breakfast is more yummy in new big guy pajamas!
