Blessed




I just wanted to say how incredibly blessed Wesley and I feel to have such a perfect little boy. I know that everyone thinks their own children are perfect, but this one is just the best! Ever since Jake was born he has gone to sleep so well. There were a few times here and there that it was a little bit difficult if he was teething or sick, but for the most part he does so well. I like to think it's because I worked hard and trained him to be that way, but I know all parents work hard and some children just don't go down as easily. I'm not trying to brag...I just want everyone to know how sweet this little boy is. We are worried that when we have another child, we are really gonna be in for it. But I guess we'll just have to deal with that one when the time comes.


Jake finally said "Mama" this week! I was so proud of him. There's really nothing like your child calling your name for the first time. I know one day I'll probably be thinking, quit calling my name! But for now it is so heartwarming to hear that little voice calling mama. He does try our patience a lot though, because he keeps opening the oven and trying to get in. I know this is very dangerous because it could be hot! I don't know how to keep him from doing it...


Anyway, I think he looks too old in this picture to have his pacifier! He usually only uses it during naps or bedtime. This past week, his back molars have been coming in so he has wanted it more often. I guess that will just be a phase, but I'm not sure when I should try to take it away. I think we will wait a bit longer....I hope thats not a bad idea.


Having someone pull Jake around in the laundry basket is his favorite game....it is very tiresome for whoever gets caught having to do it. We tie daddy's belt to it and use that to pull him. He loves this very much!!

Jake's First Haircut

This picture was the before picture. Barbara, Larry's wife cut Jake's hair so he was very comfortable there. He acted like he knew exactly what what we were doing and why he was there. He made me so proud and he was proud of himself too. He just sat there on the little bench like he had done it a million times. She spent about 30 min. on his hair. He got two suckers for being such a good boy and he loved them! My little boy is growing up and he doesn't look like a baby anymore!! I love him so much!! Hope you all enjoy the pictures! :)

Wordless Wednesday!

(This is supposed to be "wordless" but I just wanted to ask you to please ignore the dusty fridge and the laundry on the floor, because obviously I did too!)

Jake and his Daddy!


Jake absolutely loved riding on the ranger with mommy and daddy! He was sitting in the middle with his own seatbelt on! Brrruuuudddnnnn!!! Brruuuuudddnnnnn!!! Is what Jake was saying the whole time. I caught a glimpse of how worried I am gonna be when Jake grows up and wants to ride on all of these "toys" by himself.

Jake is growing up!

This picture makes me kinda sad. Jake is all of a sudden looking like a little boy instead of a baby. I know everybody goes through these feelings, but this is my baby! It is so amazing how he can really understand what we are saying to him now. He is so smart!We have an appointment for Jake's first haircut this Thursday. I have mixed feelings, we really wanted to wait as long as possible to cut it. But I have already had to trim his bangs because they were all in his eyes. I don't want him to look like he has a "mullet" so I guess it's time to trim the rest! Stay tuned for some pictures and maybe some video if I can figure it out.
