Roll Over

This morning during tummy time Jake did it! He rolled over, and i wasn't helping him or anything! I couldn't believe it when he wasn't scared or upset afterwards so i put him back on his belly to see if he could do it again and he did! So exciting! So I called Chris and then Mom and then Katie - telling everyone who i knew would answer their phones, and while talking to Katie he did it again! Busy Man!
So exciting - and yes i cried! I think its because yesterday he had a great day 2 long naps, and a full nights sleep, i know i'm jinxing it but for the first time in for ever he slept from 10pm to 7am! Yes i had to wake up and pump but it was soooo wonderful! Now if i can try to do exactly what i did yesterday we'll be very happy campers here in mississippi!
This week we were so excited we actually were planning on going to jackson on Thursday so chris could play in a golf tournament and jake and i play at a hotel pool - then head down to the gulf for chris' birthday vacation a little late. Too bad Ike is coming and again will probably fill all the hotels let alone ruin the weather. so another weekend in Tupelo with not much to do! We'll be thinking of all of you fun people going to sara and dave's wedding so do an extra dance for us!
We are heading to michigan on the 19th so we'll see you soon!
Till then enjoy this picture we took last weekend of Buffalo park with Grandma Janet - notice the wonderful sights of the camel, donkeys, Buffalo, and the huge car sale at the furniture market a very natural landscape don't you think!

10 weeks


Baby Jake is 10 weeks old and watched his first Michigan game on Saterday, and as much as we tried he just wouldn't look angry with the score.

We headed to Birmingham Alabama on sunday to find some kind of adventure. What we found was a town a bit like detroit a bit old and 1/2 abandoned, but luckily it had a satilite campus of the university of alabama which had a decent sized area of life and micro brews! We also found a beautiful botanical garden to walk around until night hit and the bugs came out. This is a great shot of me pinching Valcon's butt who looks over the city of Birmingham. don't worry as we walked out another couple asked if it turned out because that he done the same thing!


Yesterday we finnaly made it to the pool so i could get a bit of a tan - what i've been looking forward to for ever and of course because of Gustov it was not sunny or even very warm! Its been averaging 90' since i've been down here and not that i'm complaining but the past few days have been cloudy and only around 85 or so.


Jake is doing well trying to giggle at least once a day and is very happy to be healthy and back on breast milk. Hope you all had a great holiday weekend.
