Christmas was GREAT!

Look at some of my great toys! I was a little overwhelmed by all the wrapping paper, bows, bags, people, and of course toys....I wasn't sure where to look!

But it sure was fun! :)

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone!

I can't wait to open all these presents. I have been so good and not played with them too much. I'm so excited. Mmie and Poppins are coming today and I can't wait! We hope that you have a very merry christmas! We sure will!

Grand-daddy's Christmas party!

I got to crash G-daddy's Christmas dinner this year. I ate mashed potatoes, green beans, and chicken. YUM! Gammy tried to hold me but she couldn't contain me! I was very interested in the spoon and standing under the tables. I flirted with some ladies and for being oh so cute was even handed a bracelet which I then broke and flew beads everywhere. I'm not sure if I'll be invited back next year!

Playing...

I'm thinking of my next move!

(Actually he was watching Daisy,

trying to figure out how to get her ball away from her! Haha)

Jake loves to play! This is him chewing on a palm tree that goes to his navitity scene. We talk about who all the people are and he likes to carry around baby Jesus in his mouth. I think that he senses this is a special time of year. He loves all the decorations and lights especially the tree in his room. He is obsessed with wreaths! He points to them everywhere we go. We are so excited to have this first Christmas with him and then to celebrate his first birthday! So much fun....so much to cherish!

Walking? Not yet....

But I fling myself from place to place. I can make it!

I like to walk with assistance! Dad is giving me a helping hand! I've taken a couple of steps by myself but I'm not ready to make the plunge yet. I think that I'll wait for a special audience for Christmas or my birthday! :)

I like to clean!

What??? I don't like to clean. I just like to play with this thing!

I will figure it out!


Jake is very interested in "non-toys". He wants to play with the swiffer, the vaccum, the tupperware cabinet, the laundry basket, waterbottles, remotes, etc...
It's fun to watch him want to figure things out and study each item. He's learned how two objects when banged together make quite a loud sound and he loves it! He loves to do things to get my attention. He's quite a little ham. So much fun!

Bathtime is fun with Dad!

I like taking a bath! It's Dad's job to help me! He always plays with me and teaches me how to splash and squirt water! It's fun!
