Four Years!

Four years ago today, I married the most handsome, respectful, loving man a girl could ever ask for! He is SUCH a great father, too! I couldn't ask for more!

I LOVE YOU JOEL!

6.six.onetwothreefourfiveSIX.

I am a mother of a six month old child. Half birthday. Six months. He's HALF way to being 1! Where has the freaking time gone?!!

I haven't taken his six month pictures yet...but when I do, you know you will see them ;)

We went to the doctor for his 6 month check up...and hes moving right along! He is now 15.8lbs and 26.5inch long! We go the go ahead to start food, which I was really excited about. Jake hasn't been too thrilled with rice cereal, or oatmeal, so I was a little worried on how he was going to like the good stuff.

I decided to start with veggies, hearing that if you start with sweet fruits, they won't like veggies (even though my pediatrician said that's not true). I picked carrots. He.Loved.Them! WOO! I'll stick with those for a few days, then maybe do a fruit.

Ohh..and Jake is 2 teeth..and the doc said his upper gum is swollen...so more to come! aye yi yi. My baby is growing up so fast!

Here are some pics for you to enjoy ;)
p.s. His baptism was so great...he did great with the water and was content and too cute for all the congregation to see! I'll post pics when I get some :)

Better late than never!

Here are Jake's 5 month pics. Even though we took them at a little over 5 1/2 months, ya get the picture :)

Ohh and how could I forget....Jake has his first TOOTH!! I randomly did a mouth check the other day and BAM...there it was!! With a few fussy days here and there, Jake is taking it like a champ. Lets hope its like this with all his teeth.

ANOTHER exciting event is happening this weekend...Jake is getting BAPTIZED! We are so excited to present Jake to God and promise to raise him in the faith, along with our church family!!! After the service, we are having a little luncheon at our house in our NEW backyard (which the hubby has been slaving working away at for the past two+ months- Pics to come)

Anyway, enjoy! He is getting so big so fast!!

Videos and Updates!

Hi Ya'll!!

I know, this poor blog of mine has been neglected. I would love to say I'm SO SO SO busy and can't update, but really...I'm just lazy unmotivated. Of course I love sharing Jake with everyone, which is why I'm posting today!!

We have yet to do our 5 month pictures... *time out* holy crap, I have a 5 month old!! Next month he will be half way to being ONE YEAR OLD! Okay, slow down. I'm getting ahead of myself!!!!! :)

Jake has started being such a wiggle worm when feeding him and holding him. My grandma said , "Hold him now because he won't want to be held like this for very much longer." I almost cried.Hes getting big TOO fast. Slow down, Jake!!!!!

Here are some fun videos of Jake giggling and eating rice cereal.

Easter Extravaganza

I posted some pics on FB...HERE is the public link so you can see :)

If you're too lazy to click on the link, here are a few of my favorites of Jake and our little family!

More pics of Jake, duh!

We took Jake’s 4(and a half) month pictures today. I got a few shots, but we had to end early due to a drool/tie mishap. (See last picture). Ha! Oh well. Jake’s been having these “Why-are-you-taking-my-picture-mom/shocked” look on his face…but I think its kinda funny. I’m glad there are cameras to capture moments like these.

Here are a few for you to enjoy!

Lazy Saturdays, Good friends, and Photography!

My niece, Brooke, came down with her mama and i couldn't resist snapping some pics of a little girl for a change, instead of my handsome boy.It was such a perfect day... Sun was shining, Auntie Chelsey was loving on Jake, all out on the front lawn enjoying the day!!!

Here are a few of my favs:
