Baptism


He did it! He got baptised, ok it was last week but we've been busy. He did well, and by well i mean he screamed like a naked boy getting dunked into water in front of hundreds of people he didn't know and only a dozen that did! I didn't blame him. Then he even was announced a few times as Jacob Matthew - oops and oh well. We're deciding that its a good luck charm after all our Priest at our wedding - same church - introduced me as Katie Schmidt.





The second piece of big news is that we have a bonafied crawler moving at the spead of light, it was followed quickly by the amazing pulling up to standing boy. Both are keeping me on the moved and doing lots of catches right before a head or lamp or anything breakable is falling toward the floor. Mostly because pulling up isn't enough anymore jake thinks he's so cool that he can pull up then let go with one hand and look around resulting in the death drop often down on dancing with the stars (you know when they hold one hand and the girls head spins quickly to the floor only for her partner to spin her on the ground - well jake doesn't have a partner just gravity pulling him to the floor! So more than a few clunks happen every day. (who can tell me where to buy a helmet?)

lol! Omg your description of Jake pulling himself up(and then falling!) is just too funny! It's so crazy to me how different our boys are. Yours..dare devil/risk taker. Mine..cautious and careful! Like I said before Jake will be the one convincing Sam to jump off a bridge for fun..lol!

Yes, I love the description as well. Crawling does make life a lot crazier.....and these kids are fast! I hope we can see Jake do his stunts in person sometime now that you are back in MI :)

He's huge! And already crawling! Wow!
On a slight side note, I love how you compare him to the dancers on Dancing with the Stars. Too funny!

I can't believe he's crawling already! Any chance we can get him over here to encourge Audrey to get a move on. I guess I should be careful what I wish for though, huh? You're probably getting a lot of excersise chasing after him.
Congrats on the baptism.
