Peanut butter boy!

I was busy fixing dinner and Jake was finishing his peanut butter and jelly sandwich.....it was quiet for a few too many moments and when I looked over, I saw this sticky mess! Bailey would gladly have licked him clean, but we opted for a bath instead :)

Bailey and the BBQ

We love our Bailey boy....and he loves his BBQ drippings! We made rotisserie chickens recently and he has literally had his head stuck up the BBQ to get all of the drippings. Of course, his face ends up loaded with charcoal dust. It's impossible not to laugh when his sweet face looks up with you, full of guilt....and covered with charcoal remnants!

Daddy's Little Helper

Nothing makes Jake happier these days than being in the "workshop" with Daddy. He knows the names of all of the tools and points them out as Daddy uses them. But the cutest thing is when he wears his "gasses", just like Daddy. It's a rule that when the saw is on, he has to sit on his stool with his glasses on....he gladly abides by this if he can stay in the garage with all of the exciting power tools!

Holiday duds

I went to all the trouble of getting the cute outfit, dressing him in it, and then forgot to take pictures! Soooo, here is a picture of Jake in his holiday duds....it's amazing that one month later, the sweater is already too short. This kid grows like a weed!

Belly Progress

We are taking pictures of "the belly" again, so here it is at 21 weeks. I still have a lot of growing to do, and it already feels big and in the way!

Jake's going to have a baby SISTER!

cute little legs

definitely a girl....nothing between the legs here!

isn't she cute!

Yippee! Jake is going to have a baby SISTER! We had the final ultrasound today and the Dr. said that it's time to paint the nursery pink! Here are a few pics of our little one.....we can't wait to meet her!

Visiting Uncle Tim at the fire house

Uncle Tim is on his fire rotation, so Jake got to go on a spin around the block in the BIG fire truck and play around inside....so fun!

Jake loves chocolate CAKE!

We've had at least one birthday per month recently and Jake has become a BIG fan of "happy birthday to you", followed by CAKE! As you can see, he was allowed to use his own fork.....can you say "bath time" :)
