I love Baton Rouge

This weekend we went to visit Nana, Pops
and Uncle Matt in Baton Rouge. We went to visit Mike the Tiger
and to see my brick at Mike's Habitat. My very sweet "aunts" Linda
and Remy gave this wonderful gift to me. Thanks so much!
We also went to ride the carousel at the Mall of Louisiana and to eat at
my mom's favorite restaurant, Parrain's. Yummy!

A Warm January Day

January 2009
I know this sounds crazy, but you have
to remember we do live in Louisiana....
today we spent the day at the park.
It was so warm that we were all in short sleeve shirts.
Jake was not sure about the swings. He thought he may like them,
or maybe not.
It was so nice to get out and enjoy some sunshine:)

Play Hard, Rest Well

December 2008

Merry Christmas to all!
What a wonderful holiday season we had!
Santa was good to all of us this year.
Jake was given his very own mini four wheeler, a play set for the back yard,
a cozy coupe car and so many other things.
Santa left me a beautiful pair of earrings with Jake's birthstone.
Santa left Johnny some random things and money so
that the picky, picky man can buy for himself.
Jake had a great time at the Christmas Eve
family festivities. He was decked out in his Christmas best.
Jake had a blast playing with his cousins and opening his gifts.
So fun!!!

November 2008

Jake had a great time at Halloween. He ended up trick-or-treating as a bee since he decided to outgrow his puppy costume. Oh well, he was still adorable! He had fun going around the neighborhood and racking up on candy. His favorite was the huge pixy stick.

Jake's First Birthday was November 1st. We had a party at home to celebrate. It was a great party! All of Jake's friends and family were there to party with us.

We had our first petting zoo adventure on November 15th. Chance had his 3rd birthday at Hidden Oak Farms. Jake was not sure what to think about all of the animals. He called them all dogs.

Jake is now running everywhere! He is hard to keep up with!!! He has added a few new words to his vocabulary. He now says dog, mama, dadda, bottle, bye bye, no, uh oh and uh uh.
He loves graham crackers and vanilla pudding. Jake started a new "school" on November 3rd. We are amazed at the change in him in just 3 weeks. His new teachers are wonderful and we are very excited to see what all he learns with them.
