Get me out!!!

This is jake during room time. We made sure to get an extra tall gate so their would be no climbing out till he is 12...hahaahah, kidding. Sometimes at the end of playing in his room he will use toys to clank the metal really loud....kinda like he is in jail......funny.

This was a pic of the kiddos i nannied for 3 years. Jake was a little overwhelmed at this point.....can you tell by his face?:)



We will be leaving to go to the beach house this weekend and spend some time in charelston. Please be praying for a safe travel, this is the first time back since the accident in may. Ill post a lot of pics when i get back.

I'm really sad. I totally regret getting Jakes hair cut this week. My friend Marybeth cut it and she did a great job but.....I MISS HIS CURL!!!! yeah, his hair was kinda long and curly in the back but sometimes looked like a mullet. So, we decided to cut it. I miss the mullet!!!! So we decided we need to let it thicken up before it looks ''beachy long'' like we want it. Thanks marybeth! oh yea....he did EXCELLENT for her! he even sat in the chair by himself for most of it...just licking his root beer lollipop that had huge amounts of hair stuck to it and wondering what was going on. Here are some pics.......i have been MIA lately....i'll post more later.

This Week

well, we have been keeping busy this week! Jake had his 1 year checkup and everything checked out good! his stats are 20 lbs. 1oz. height 30.5 inch. so he is on the same curve as always...skinny and tall. He can say (and wave) bye-bye, daddy, thank-you(tatu), .....we are STILL waiting on mommy though!!!!!James taught him to raise both hands in the air when we say''PRAISE GOD!!!!'' REALLY cute! so when you all see him, say praise god and see him PRAISIN THE LORD!!!!!
We went to frank liske park twice this week to play....its only 5 minutes from my house and it is a WONDERFUL park to go to! big lake with ducks and a lot of different swings and stuff. Teething woes are thankfully over!!!! He was cranky for about 2-3 days and then his pain let up. Thanks for the suggestions ladies! Just as i was about to try them...he started feeling better. Now we have two more wonderful teeth to brush! here are some recent pics...enjoy!

Jake NOT helping

This picture could have been WAY worse i know.....but I turn my head for a split second ,......okay okay,not true, I was really on the phone.......and my toilet paper is everywhere! I found him before he could unravel the whole roll. Now that would have been a cooler pic!

Teething help

HELLLLLPPPP!!!!! I need some good advice on teething remedies with my little man! He is cutting hie eye teeth at the same time and has been crying/whining constantly over the last 2 days! I feel SO bad for him! I have tried orajel, motrin, tylenol, teething washcloths and sticking them in the freezer, cold stuff, etc. nothing really has helped. He will get distracted for a few minutes but then feels his pain again. I have even taken him in to the pedia. thinking he had an ear infection,nope she said those teeth are the WORST to cut. any advice that i have not tried would be greatly appreciated!!!!
