8 months Old!

Jake is a big 8 month old! He's got one and a half teeth, ok i say this because i think there's only one that has poped through, but chris swears there are two, so i am left to deduce that that second one has poped its head up and went back down! :-) Our funny little man is crawling all over and as soon as i leave the room to, , oh i don't know get dressed he gets into everything possible you know like climbing underneath the end table!

He's also, i'm hopeing, at the end of a yucky cold which i think are so unfair for babies to get! Especially when they do that big cough and you know that they should be spitting something out after except they can't!
Also thanks to those 1.5 teeth, he's started the non stop drooling! Which i hate! I never thought i'd be that mom that was constantly wiping the strings of drool away from my babies chapped face but here i am, and recently that slime is accompanied by snot too! So yummy iknow. can't wait till teething is over, you know in 2 years or so - right Heather?

This video was taken by Kaitlyn my 6 year old niece, she wanted to see jake walk on the beam, she didn't want to get him in trouble by telling us he spit up I didn't know until i watched the video! But it makes me laugh!

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?)
