more mischief

Ok lots more mischief but I'm still learning how to move pictures with my new device. So let me just explain in the last day and a half he has:

Yes gotten him self stuck under a dinning room chair. Learned how to climb into his toy box and yes get stuck. Climb onto the toilet and so far has been happy there checking himself out, hasn't yet had the chance to see if he's stuck! Crazy Crazy boy we have. Today we did put up our christmas tree so the big test will be tomorrow when he wakes up and see's it decorated. Oh how i can't wait to see if he tries to climb it!

We also went to a train show and when contained my little boy is a doll!
Check him out pushing the button to make the train go! And the Leggo train was also pretty cool!


My Friend Jodie came to town with her Piston Friends and trophy! We even had her sign a basketball. Jake, however was unsure of Hoops the Horse Mascot. Luckily Aunt Liz was there to protect him!


On a sad note we had our first big bo boo. We went down to kerry town to see santa (who turned out to be sick that day - no show- ) and on our way back to the car we let our little guy (sick of being held) happily run down the side walk. After getting a running start the poor guy fell right to his face and his little teeth cut right into his upper lip. Our little guy was bleading so bad I got in the car ready to drive to urgent care for some stiches! Luckily chris had a water bottle in the car and was able to rinse it out and see that it wasn't as bad as it looked. That lip sure was bleading though. So much so that 5 hours later after a drive to flint he still had a little blood on his bottom lip. It turns out thumb sucking does not stop even when there in an injury to the mouth!

TP - fun for all ages!

What a 1 year old can do in a quick minute


Don't worry he even knows what to do with the TP. As i took a few minutes and laughed at these pictures, he had shuved it all in the Toilet! Such a smart boy i have on my hands! Jealous aren't cha!
!

Late but still Halloween!

Jake had a great Halloween! My favorite holliday by far which may explain why he had to try on 4 different costums! In the end the Elephant Won the costest but if i would have found a bam bam it would have been perfect, since he loves his bats and of course hitting everything.




Now at 16 months he is really starting to talk more, Last week we counted 8 words, but just the last few days he's really repeating new words a couple everyday! We're so excited and just love the sound of the little guys voice saying new things all the time!



As a few of you have heard he's also climbing way to much i've found him twice now on the table just happily quiet yesterday he was sitting down drinking out of a water bottle. Chris found him on sunday standing up doing nothing but looking around from the vantage point! So funny! He can now climb up on the couch too and running from end to end. But don't worry he still loves toilet paper and actually walked all the way to the living room with some unwinding as he walked and proudly said mom, mom 3 or 4 times offering it to me as a very exciting present! How do you do anything but laugh! Soo Funny!


Thanks to all at the zellers for a fun trick or treat, and of course down town Ann Arbor for the daytime trick or treat on friday! He did so well carrying his bucket and walking up to all the baskets of candy! I can't wait until next year!

I love Fall

Best Skeleton ever!

Jake is so much fun right now, he can't stop saying Hot, even when we're talking about the grass! He is however starting to say Mama, for a few things, and the other day he said bye when we left him with grandma! First times are so exciting. However today we found out we're going through # 5 with ear infections! Oh how our little boy is never going to sleep! Poor guy started to have goop in his eyes at the central game (go chips) then a fever last night so Dr. today. He's a very busy guy this 15 month old of mine. The good news though is that he finnaly hit 20 lbs. So maybe he had all his clothes on this time but still for some reason i've been waiting for that number.


Our other new development in the little man's life is he's becomeing a little buiser! He has a "friend" at story times that is littler than him that he likes to push down! Running at the little dude with 2 hands out push! At first i thought he was trying to hug him but nope its deffinatly a push. He's only done it to a few kids but who would have thought our little guy would be a bruiser! Not to mention he even tried to bite little sam zeller when he was visiting us last week. sorry Sam!

Wish us luck with our little man he's ever changing!
Oh and i went back in time and cheered this weekend at Central and had so much fun! Proof that this old dog and still do tricks! I can't wait to do it again!

OK sorry its been so long with out a post but i too lost my wires from the camera to computer, i finnaly picked up a new device and got them uploaded to snapfish but as i look for them now to put on the blog i can't find them. I'm so tech savy!

Anyway the Carnells are doing well (rejecting the cold) keeping busy and today i'm so proud i even walked to the libary for story time! i haven't done that since june! Jake is going crazy climbing all over everything and getting so many bumps and bruises i can't count.

This weekend we have a family wedding and i can't wait to show his dancing off!

So because posts just aren't the same with out pictures here is a blast from the past. Chris and Jer with Baby Sam!


And of course my mom babysitting after my wisdom tooth removal! Love it!

tiger boys

The tigers game yesterday with the boyz in matching sweatshirts! So funny! We enjoyed the game except for our idea to take the kids to the carosel during the most exciting inning, and of course that after waiting in line Sam decided he wasn't feeling it! Oh well, it was worth a try, Chris says that jake enjoyed it!

Baseball

So jake is getting to be quite the sports boy, since his dad has taught him how to swing a bat, he's now swinging and hitting things at every level. I mean hocky sticks are swinging and wacking everything from balls to our new friend Maggies head. (Sorry to katie and maggie!) But just to make it an even playing field he's also found a renewed interist in his little drummber boy (a bear that plays little drummer boy with moving arms and mouth) he is always dragging that around (if the bad is put away) and wanting to dance to the music and of course shuve his finger in his mouth! Very silly this boy of ours.

Oh a happy mom note its now been 1 week of sleeping through the night from 8:30 - 6:30. Chris and i are feeling more human everyday!

Michigan Vacation 09'

Packing for the big week long vaca around michigan. Who knew we should have packed lots more sweatshirts.

Beach photo in Leeland jake played and then whiped out. Chris and i pushed through after 3 wine tastings though. Jake's just a light weight!

At the camp site blueberry pancake morning we had a very happy camper. He loved the freedom of the campsite he ran everywhere!!!!




It was a long and nice vacation. We got to see lots of fun people and had a lot of fun in travers on our own. Jake became a full time walker while we were gone, and now 2 weeks later he's trying to run like the wind, so we're back to crashing again. :-)

Jake is also learning to play baseball, chris holds the ball up and jake can actually take a swing, of course its all on his time but its really fun to watch!

I'm One

On my big day! First cake! Birthday fun!<
Thanks to everybody for coming to my birthday party even in the hot sun! I was a little overwhelmed by all of the people but i did love eating the cake and playing in the bounce house. Thanks to the big girls for giving me and sammy a turn to bounce a little slower!
So much fun in the bounce house!

Time for beach fun in tawas! We headed up to Grandma Janet's on the 4th and had fun in the sand. As well as watching Victoria and grandma janet use the squirt guns on each other! a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinIaRyyF9PWA1WeEpcetUKpLhICcoGtoQ26WliF68wgNqhi7qCmqrDERWWPHKkL653JawnTh070Mbwh3_hwZD_Xju0C9aJl8nzTaH_H__cq4u-kZZF6YM2dYBcShLxgveUUZTKlm9G6Dw/s1600-h/100_1454.JPG">

My new love of peaches! "I don't share these. Hands off I'm eating the whole thing." Unforchunatly while in Tawas jake refused to nap and when he was a bit kranky at the big pot luck on the beach dad gave him a peach to clam him down and it worked too well, jake fell esleep in the high chair while eating away on his beloved peach!

The big cut

A sad day for mom and a brand new look for baby! We did it we found a great barber with a even better race car chair to get Jake's first hair cut. The before and after pictures are amazing, (ok well to me at least) he looks so grown up with the big boy hair cut. The best before pic! After a bath/watermellon Hair!
Check out the curls!

Funny thing is i just told the guy we wanted it out of his eyes and off his coller, i kind of still wanted it floppy and baby like. It however all went so fast the whole thing took less than 5 min! Amazing, when we were done jake didn't want to get out of the car. They even had a race car cape and gave us a certificate and little tiny bag of hair, love the nickels arcade barber!


So now we're ready for the big birthday next week.

We also went to see Jake's talented cousin victoria at her dance recital and look how cute she is! She was totally the leader of the pack on stage!

Tiger Baby!

We hit the tigers game last friday, and Jake did a great job! He ate lots of gramcrackers (no peanuts and crackerjack yet) thank goodness! We even saw ourselves on the jumbo tron!



We also took a walk through the law quad the other day and look how cute and at home our little boy is!

Backyard Playtime

Jake and I have a new love for our backyard! He loves to play peak a boo in his new back yard toy/slide thing. It is a little tall for him to get into him self but once he's up there he has a birds eye view which i think he loves, and as a fellow short person i can appreciate! Jake is also rediscovering his tounge and how much fun it is to stick out and babble with! He's so funny when he talks and talks, mostly while he's in the car. I will never know what he's talking about or why he thinks that is the best place to chat with himself. He is also in love with his car that we just got back from Sammy, tuesday and wed we went up to my sisters and his cousins, Kaitlyn and Sydney pushed him around their neighborhood in it and now that he's home he thinks he should be the one to push it too! So funny!

Vegas (no) Baby!

So we had our first weekend away and we did it up! Vegas was so fun i didn't remember to take many pic's! We were gone from firday night until monday night and chris and i had lots of fun just drinking and playing the penny slots and the occational roulette table. We went with a big clan of my girlfriends friends and co-workers 14 in all. Which was perfect to sectione off a nice chunk of the lazy river at MGM to relax and catch some rays at after a long night out.


We ended up getting upgraded in our hotel room to the West Wing of the hotel which was all newly remodeled and right at the front of MGM which for anyone that has been there is so huge it can feel like your walking for a mile just to get out of that casino alone!
This is the loby of the new Venision, the Plazzo - Very Pretty Anyway it was great to be home and to see our little guy. It was funny being out there we just missed him because he's fun and would find ourselves randomly reminding each other of the little things he does that are adorable! As for Jake Grandma Tres, and Grandpa Lee say that he did great and loved all the attention he had from them all the time. So that was wonderful!! The funny part was tuesday waking up and saying hi to him for the first time he just stared at me for a while and kept looking back at Lee, it looked like he was thinking is that really her? Luckily it only took 1/2 our or so of him going back and forth between all of us to get used to the idea that he could stay with me. Funny Guy! The trip did remind me how much i do love going out and having silly fun with chris and of course drinking 3 drinks before breakfast, Or doing shots in the sports book when the red wings win, or shaking my butt while singing at the top of my lungs until 5am michigan time. Crazy fun!
Tosha and I at the top of The Hotel at Mix - 2 hours before i realize how bad of an idea it was for me to skip water all day in favor of the good stuff!
