JAKE

Here is Jake on the day that we brought him home from the hospital. He looked like he had a nice tan but it was really the coloring from jaundice.Here he is on his 1st birthday!Here is a current picture showing off his mouthful of teeth and big blue eyesThese are a few of his favorite things . . . he loves watching cartoons (this was his chosen position for the day) and he tends to carry around DVD cases. Sometimes he even naps with a DVD case - some kids have stuffed animals, Jake's chose is just a little less cuddly.Here is our sweet boy in his Sunday outfit. His first Sunday wearing it, he puked all over it in the middle of church. Luckily, Michael was sitting by us, instead of on the stand, because it was the Primary program and so I had extra hands to help.

Jake brings a lot of fun and smiles into our lives. He loves Kyla and likes to do what she is doing. He loves being outside and races for the door whenever he hears the word. He loves blocks and cars and will sometimes pick up a doll to play with Kyla. We are working on trying to get him to talk a little but he just looks at us and grins. He does a few signs, "more" and "milk", and loves to yell "MAMA" and "KYLA." If I am on the phone, he wants his few minutes and does babble a bit.
