Jake the Toddler

I am so used to doing monthly updates on Jake that it's hard to stop! He is a walker now, but I don't have a picture! He toddles and does the monster walk (arms up by his ears) all over now. As much as I love it, I miss the crawling already.

He also has a huge love for balls. He squeals and giggles and throws them. Its cute to play back and forth with him. 

He's into everything. That mess behind him was his own doing. But look at that snaggly grin--can't help but love it!

And those overalls... nothing like a baby in overalls.

You get him outside, and he's even more trouble. All he wants is the dirt. You would think he might know after one try that it's not chocolate, but I guess he keeps hoping.

Jake is a peacemaker in the family, especially with Ella. A squeeze from him makes everything better, even scraped up knees. Not so much with Ty... usually Jake is screaming "uncle" because Ty has him pinned somehow. Oh the joys of boys, already beginning.

Bye bye babyhood! It's been sweet.
