Kendall came over to visit a lot over the weekend. We had a lot of fun at the pool and beach. We ate a great "Thanksgiving" dinner tonight complete with Auntie Addie's effort at making Auntie Christine's wonderful sweet potato casserole. It was really good! Here's a cute picture of the two of us. Eat your heart out, Parker...
I've officially arrived! Not only do I have an actual Mommy and Daddy who are present in my life, I now have a big boy haircut! My before picture is above and after is below. More pictures to come with Mommy and Daddy. We haven't been very photogenic all together since Mommy got home. Grammy Barb is still here so hopefully she can get some good shots!
Mandy has sketchy computer access now and should be starting her trek home in the next few days. She asked me to post the information on the blog so people know what is going on.
Happy Birthday to Mommy from Jake. I have been much more independent lately. I still like Grammie and Daddy to hold me but only for a few minutes. I can run really well now and even walk on my tippy toes. So much is in reach and I like to explore everyhting around the house and get into as many things as possible. I really like playing with my wood blocks as you can see even though I somethimes get frustrated when they fall down. Auntie Meg has been here for the past few days taking pictures of me so I can someday be famous.
Here I am getting rolled by a a Tsunami wave that got everybody wet at the beach today. Don't worry everyone including the camera is fine. Come home soon mommy I love you!!
Before we had Jake I used to wonder what babies did to let you know they are full. Jake sometimes defies his size and eats what I think a 300 pound Samoan should and I used to worry we were force feeding him. Eventually I learned to notice what he did when he was truly finished eating, sometimes funny but always messy. The cats have learned to steer clear of him except when he is eating becuase if we are too slow to notice when he is done the food will start flying. Sometimes he actually tries to feed the cats or me if I will let him. In any case we say "Pau" for done here in Hawaii and I think he knows what that means now as well. This morning he had peanut butter toast, much of it was spread over his face.
Happy Valentines day Mommy from Scott and Jake. I have the weekend off but no new great pictures yet but I thought I would post a video of Jake soaring through the air. One of his favorite things to do.
It was another nice day so went spent the afternoon down at the beach again. Jake Played int he water until his lips turned blue. After that we took him up on the beach and he warmed up for a while. He always loved the Jake gym (see previous posts if you forgot) and he also likes to to go Airborne sometimes. For all those concerned no I have never dropped him or even come close and I have to Grammies as witnesses, one with a camera. I am not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow but another day at work means one more day closer to Mandy coming home.
