Santa - I love Santa!

Ok maybe this picture doesn't capture it but he did seem to enjoy the meeting. When asked Santa reported that he and jake had a long conversation about what he'd like for Christmas - he said he talked his ear off! Got to love a funny mall santa! Yet the little boy before Jake did have a "Sammy esk" experience So santa must not be that good! He he! We're headed home on friday so we hope to see some of you while we're there but till then we'll be blogless! Ho Ho HO!!!

If you have a minute check out this video, it was a couple of weeks ago when jake was just starting to try to crawl? Judge for your self but he's picking up his little booty and everything!! So proud!

Carrots?

This picture is a bit deceiving it seems that after just 5 bites of unprotested spoon fulls of carrots, my little guy decided they were disgusting!

On that 6th bite he closed one eye and quivered his head as i would after a sip of mint julep! (oh how i want to go to the derby again) They were his official first real food so i've got high hopes that the next one goes better. Today i decided to make it easier and just spike his cereal with a little carrots and again the first few bites were fine but then it was back to the one eyed head quiver! Too funny!

This is our happy guy in his Adored red outfit which he loved because it is a hooded, and footed, head to toe outfit so lots of ends to chew on. Oh how excited he is when he finds his toes and then gets to keep chewing on his outfit long after he's lost the actual toes!

The Coast

Jake at tom O'Brians in New Orleans. He just wanted to hold the Hurricane. To bad we didn't run in to Jocelyn they could have shared a shared a juice! On the beach in Biloxi. It was 65' but a bit windy.

How is it possible for our little guy to cry for hours at night and still wake up this happy! Its like he doesn't even remember! Lucky little shit! Jake's had a few rough nights where he wakes up and for about 15 min just crys and doesn't open his eyes. Chris sometimes will wake him up and as soon as his eyes open he's better. I just pace the house until its over. Maybe he's dreaming of Sammy's santa. During the day however he's the happyest camper, he loves his jumper of course but also any chance for someone to hold him or help him stand and he'll giggle like mad if you find one of his tickel spots!
