Summer Fun

This is Jake walking between Jason and I on Monday night 7-2-12, he was so proud of himself, it was the cutest thing ever!!!

Cute cute brothers :-)

Jake was seriously cracking up.....too funny.

Trip to the zoo....

Went with some new friends, Emery really liked hanging out with his new friend Rees, she's 4 too.

Highlight of the trip....Emery loved his ride :-)

Owen got a kick out of it too!

Jake and his new friend Cole hung out and watched the older kids ride :-)

18 weeks

It's hard to believe that I am almost half way through the pregnancy!  I am feeling rather huge these days, but feel good for the most part, just exhausted most of the time.  Chasing 3 little ones can do that :-)

My BIG ultrasound is scheduled for Tuesday July 10th....so we are anxious to go and pray that baby is healthy.  I had an early ultrasound at week 15 and my doctor said he was 80% sure he saw girl parts.  To say Jason and I were in shock is a huge understatement, but we still are not convinced :-)  I had another ultrasound the other night at work (one of the perks of working at a hospital), and the 3 people in the room said it was a girl, but we are still NOT convinced :-)  Until my doctor confirms it, we will wait another week to find out for sure!! 

Jake's 1st steps 6/30/12

Jake has been taking a couple steps here and there but last night, he decided to take a lot more.  We went boating with the family and when we got back to the dock, he started taking 15 steps at a time.  It was so fun to watch him discover this new skill.

The ground is full of sticks and lots of obstacles but that didn't stop him!  He didn't have shoes on since we were boating but he was determined :-)  We are SO proud of you Jake!!

1st day of Summer

We spent the first day of summer boating :-)  It was a gorgeous day, in the 80's with lots of sunshine. 

Jason was cracking up when Emery was driving since we were all over the place!

Big preggo lady :-)

Checking out the ducks below the boat at the dock

We think we might have a gymnist on our hands....he held himself up without Jason's help in the pullup position too, he's a strong boy!

Update on Jake

There have been so many changes with Jake in the last week.  He started standing by himself on Monday June 19.  He must have stood up 20 times and with the biggest grin, he was very proud!  He took 4 very baby steps,  but steps by himself between Jason and I, it was very cute to watch.  He has been without a night bottle for several days now and he doesn't seem to miss it, yay!  He is copying what we are saying more and more.....he has been saying "up" and last night he said "hot" many times, so cute!  He finally said "mama" too, he has made the mamamamamama sounds but he finally decided to say it to me :-) very clearly.
