Poor, Poor Pitiful...Jake!

Jake feels more than sorry for himself when he gets sad. I seriously think it's the cutest thing I've ever seen. Is it bad that I ignore him for a second to take pics? :)

Happy Friday!! And, by the way, he is 3 MONTHS OLD TODAY!! I think that is crazy!

Girly Man?

Does this long, bigfoot, deep-voiced, couch potato "chick magnet" look like a girly man to you?


Probably not. But there's more to it than meets the eye. We have noticed several things that we crack up about, since Jake is a boy and all!

Here we go.....

1.) PINK BOTTLE!

2.) Big closet FILLED with clothes.

3.) TONS of SHOES! about 25 pairs to be exact. There are more that aren't pictured.

4.) DISNEY PRINCESS WIPES!

Now- my excuses for all of his girly things!

1.) The pink bottle was part of a fabulous deal on a box of bottles. It was the only pink one...the rest were orange, blue, and green.

2.) I LOVE clothes, especially baby clothes. The day I found out he was a boy I got home and started ordering online from Janie and Jack and baby gap! Plus he has family and friends that have completely spoiled him rotten! And, in my defense, he has worn every single one of his 0-3 month outfits more than once! :) Thank you everyone! He's the best dressed baby boy ever.

3.) I LOVE SHOES, more than I love clothes. Period. Jake wears shoes all the time!

4.) The Disney Princess wipes were part of a box of the small packs of huggies wipes. I had no clue what patterns were on the inside. Who cares, anyway? They're wipes!

He's gonna kill me for this when he's older. We LOVE our girly boy. :)

url change!

I have been thinking that it was time to change our url from jeremysgirls...now that Jake is here! I was hesitant as I didn't want an address change to cause us to lose touch with anyone. However, I needed to reinstate Jake's manhood... as he is not a girl! :-)

Thanks for sticking with us... :)

Jake's First Bluebonnets!!!

Today Jake and I went to Creekside Park in The Woodlands to take bluebonnet pics. Rachel and Taylor, Jess, Kinley, and Jaxon, Kayla and Rachel, and Krista and Kate also met us there! I think some of the pics turned out cute.

After the bluebonnet pics we walked to the nearby pavilion for a picnic lunch! The weather was cool and the kids were all happy, despite it being naptime! Jake was so content laying on his back watching everyone that he didn't even need a bottle or his paci the whole time we were there!

My Favorite!

He can't sit up straight for very long. Hehe. And it was so windy, I think the wind was blowing him over!

Jakey's signature tongue out. :)

Jaxon's had enough. :(

Haha! Exact same face! The wind was blowing hard and it was bright outside. :)

Kate going for the bag... :)

Kayla and sweet Rachel. She's a little over a month older than Jake.

Kinley "helping" Taylor. :-)

Have I said yet how much I love our camera? I am so glad I got it before Jake got here! I think that these turned out great...despite my inexperience as a photographer. :) I love how the background is blurry in some of them and how bright the colors turned out. I can't wait to see them printed out. I only wish Jake could've kept his eyes more open. :) We hope to venture more into the country where the bluebonnets are more concentrated and take some family pics next weekend. This was a great trial run for that!

Have a great week everyone! Our's has started out great! :)

A Little Update

Soooo long! :-)

Most recently our sweet Jakey has found his hands. He's stuffing them in his mouth and also staring at them all the time...while swinging them around. He sometimes follows them with his eyes...from having them straight up in the air (top pic), crossing his eyes and then lowering them-hitting himself in the forehead. It's pretty entertaining. Now, not only is he literally smiling half of the day, but laughing out loud!! It's so sweet and we are just having way too much fun with him!

In not-so-new news he is still enjoying the "just chillin" position with his hands behind his head. I'm not sure if you remember but he did this in every ultrasound we had! We knew he'd be a pretty laid back little dude! Doesn't he just look so relaxed? He's such a little man. Oh...speaking of little man, and now that he's out of the womb he likes to be entertained before he falls asleep. I'll have to post pics of our little tv lover soon. He'd watch it all day if I'd let him!

He's such a blessing to our family. Hope everyone's having a wonderful week!

Jake's First Trip

The back of our car! Jeremy and I packed together in the purple bag (on the right), you know the ususal clothes, pajamas, toiletries, etc. Everything else was Jake's. Stroller, pack-n-play, play mat, and tons of burp rags, diapers, wipes, bottled water, formula, bottles, changes of clothes, etc. :) My mom and Jeremy joked that now we dont' have the space for me to pack heavy anymore like I used to!





Jake borrowing Gran's sunglasses - it was too bright!






Almost (Lissa took our pic) all of us in front of the gym complex @ Baylor

Baby Jake getting way into the game...oh wait, that's his bottle. He's not a very good spectator yet. ;-)

We wore him out!! This was him the entire way home.

This weekend we went to Waco, it was Jake's first overnight trip. We left Friday afternoon and got home Saturday evening. We went for 'Junior Nationals', it's an invitation only tournament for high school players. Letters are sent to their coaches and college scouts are also supposed to be there. It was held in the Baylor gyms. We had a fun trip! Gran, Lissa, Gammie, Papaw, and of course Uncle Matt were all there. Jake loves getting loved on by family and he was awesome the whole trip!

Today after Matt's third game we went to the 'famous' George's Bar. I love the Pat Green song and had heard about it but had never been there. It was soooo good! Any time we pass through Waco (which isn't very often) for anything again atleast we'll have somewhere good to stop and eat! :)

Too Sweet Not to Post

Do any of you remember "An American Tail: Fievel Goes West"?

Well I loved that movie when I was little! And Jeremy thinks that Jake looks like Fievel in the below pic. What do y'all think? :-) Do you see the resemblance?

Can you believe he doesn't have his tongue out? I love his little mouth!!

Holding his own bottle! :)
