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!

First Step,

Ok so of course i don't have a picture of it who knows when those things are going to happen. But it was friday when Joc, Gwen and Emmit were here jake was standing alone and took one successful step! So exciting!

But his favorite toy by far right now is this awesome ball pit that he's borrowing from his cousins, when ever jake plays on his own now all we have to do is listen for the sound of the ball pit! So fun!





Here are som late, but fun pictures of easter too.

Had to get a picture of the snow, days before easter!

I love dirt!

I just found my beautiful baby boy eating dirt and look how darn happy he is about it!

I know silly me why am i keeping dirt on the floor well look in the back ground it is the biggest pot i could find so that he couldn't get into it easily boy was i wrong!

Oh and just cause its funny i have to share a short story from our first story time group we went to on monday. The group is only for babies 0-2 and after the organized music most of the about 40 women and babies stuck around and played. Jake of course stuck close to me for the first 15 min then went roaming with his maraca, as did another cute little girl that had been sticking close to her mom, and of course as soon as jake got excited about playing he swung his great maraca right into the little girls face! Ands soon as she started crying i looked at her mom and kept saying "I'm sorry it was mine, he smacked her in the face, So sorry!" Jake of course had no idea what was wrong with the little girl and went on to find a great set of 11 month old twin boys to play with! Not the first time jake's been the bully - he often likes to pull up on bigger kids, that also quickly go running away from him. But this was the first time it was a stranger and a weapon was involved.

So ahead of time watch out world, jake is coming!

9 months!

Our little guy is very busy at this age to say the least. He's crawling at the speed of light, PULLING UP ON EVERYTHIG his favorite being the DVD player, chewing on everything my hair is current favorite(then again he love to pull that too!!

He also has all 4 of his front teeth, that all popped up in a two week spanned, during which he also had a cold that lasted forever and progressed into a double ear infection! Ouch ! the sad part is that we were thinking we ere past all that and picked back up sleep training last week and i though we just hit a wall this past weekend, but the Dr. told me today that nope he's just got another ear infection! Poor guy! That's a good reason to be miserable at night time and at naps! Ugg the poor life of a baby!

The good thing is our little man still loves to laugh, and the highlight of my day is always a tickle fight! Amazingly he still did well at the Dr.'s today only one quick cry after the shot but other Wise he was still hamming it up with the ladies in the office!

Here are some great pic's of Jake helping his dad put together the patio furniture, a sure sign of spring.


Jake and i made it to lansing this past sunday to watch Chris play hockey, Lee was able to stop andwatch the game to on his way through too. We must have been a good luck charm beause they won 7-4!
