Jake got to eat a cupcake for the first time on his birthday. He seemed to like the frosting more than actual cupcake though, Im not sure how much actually went into his mouth.

Jakie the one-year Keiki
Today Jake turned one year old. Because today is a workday for me we didn't celebrate with a party or cake, all that will have to wait until this weekend when I have some time off. Instead we did the next best thing......Mom brought Jake to me at work and Jake got 3 shots to the legs. Jake did well and only cried for a couple minutes before he was back to his normal rambunctious self and immediately went back to working on dismantling the FP clinic. By the way jake is still big for his age, he weighed 25.6 lbs (80th Percentile), was 30.2 (60th percentile) inches long and his head circumference was intially off the charts until we re-measured him but he definitely inherited the McGrail noggin and is still 95%. Happy birthday Jake!!!!

I'm sorry it's been a whole week since I updated the blog Mandy. The in-service exam is over now and I wont be spending every night studying any more. As soon as Jake starts to have regular sleeping habits some thing changes whether it's a bottle at 8pm or skipping the morning nap. One thing still is pretty regular though. Jake usually wakes up relatively happy. He no longer sleeps in just his diaper becuase he learned to take it off when it was "poopy". Kate and I learned the hard way 3 times before the rule became hard and fast. I put a couple pics of Jake waking up in the morning you can see how long his hair is getting.
The other two pics are from church today. Jake is really likes the playroom now that he can walk around and get into every possible object without getting into trouble.

A visit from Friends
Tim and Robyn Brand came by yesterday with JR their 16 month old son. Both He and Jake enjoyed the pool and seemed to play well together. Jake is fast as ever and likes to climb from the lanai into the house only this time the sliding door was locked only partially open. Undeterred Jake squeezed part way through before realising that his hips couldn't fit through the opening. Don't worry Mandy I only laughed for a few minutes before taking this picture and going to rescue him. The first picture is Jake riding one of his new birthday presents. I have to admit, it was actually fun taking him to the store and setting him loose to see what interested him. He only threw one tantrum that was short lived. We came home with a few toys but decided that we would let him play with most of them early.

Jake discovers the Ocean
Jake, Grandma and I went to the beach twice this weekend. Today was especially nice weather. By Hawaii standards the weather has been disappointing lately so it was nice to finally have some blue sky. Yesterday he finally discovered the ocean but I didnt have my camera. Today I came prepared. He is walking and crawling better every day it seems and so far he has no fear of the ocean (a little would be healthy). As soon as I set him in the sand he scrambles to the water into the waves. Gets knocked down, crawls out and does it again. He doesnt seem to get tired of it despite mouthfuls of salt water. Afterward he quenches his thirst with some water for the first time using a straw.
