Easter 2008

What a wonderful Easter Sunday this turned out to be. We started the day at Grandma's house with Easter baskets full of goodies and Easter eggs aplenty. Jake's cool camo basket was stocked full of videos, cups, a new toy, and a new book. Although, for the first few minutes none of it seemed near as interesting as Grandma's camera . As we made our way outside Jake wasted no time searching out all ot the Easter eggs and filling his cool camo basket to the brim. Mom helped him "crack" into his new found treasure and shared with him the rewards of his hard work. His first Easter seemed to be a smashing success with the bar set high for next year.

I'm over a year old

I realize that it has been over two months since we have updated our blog and for that I'm sorry, but rest assured more pictures are to come. Jake has now flown past his one year mark and seems to be well on his way to two. His walking has improved tremendously and he seems to be able to reach further onto the countertops each day. He has four teeth on top and four on the bottom and eats like a horse. His favorite foods at this point are fruits (especially strawberrys)with vegetables coming in a close second. Although I don't believe there has been anything put in front of him that he hasn't eaten. I sure hope his height continues because the belly is already there. Thanks to everyone for all of your support this last year. We've never been on such an incredible emotional rollercoaster with the highest highs and the lowest lows as we have been on this year. Jake has been our shining star brightening each day no matter how dark it became. We love him so much and don't know how we would have made it through such a difficult time in our lives without him.
