I just have to post a few pictures for my own memories - So Wesley was out of town a few weeks ago and along with morning sickness, Jake and I both got the flu, or something close to it. Jake had the world's worst diarrhea (sorry - journaling for myself - skip ahead if you don't care for this part). I was changing his diaper every hour or so... and his poor bum - SO sore, poor thing. But with my sensitivity to smell, those were the longest 3 days of my life without Wes here. So, there were lots of times in the day where I couldn't muster the strength to feed him anything wonderful so here's an example of some food he enjoyed. Yeah, I gave him the entire bowl to munch on - he did more dumping over of the bowl than eating, but it made for a cute picture, I think.

Just yesterday I heard Jake playing in what I thought was the living room but as I went to check on him, I found him here (above), working his way into the hamper in the laundry room. He thought it was the funniest thing! Cracked me up.

I thought this was very cute. Wes started reading to Ella and Jake was not having that, so he worked his way onto Wesley's lap to join in the fun. He was bothered that he had to share Wesley with Ella. (He's so protective of his daddy.) It was cute watching him read to the two of them. It's so cute, Ella just lights up when Jake comes around!

Sigh... I understand that messy eating comes with the age. But, I really have to think hard whether or not to give my boy peanut butter and jelly... here's why: I put it on ritz crackers and he would open the 2 crackers and smear each cracker all over his face... Needless to say that he doesn't eat peanut butter and jelly very often

Here we go again. Why can't he get more in his mouth that all over him and the table? I've stopped watching him while he eats because the mess drives me nuts. I just come to clean up - his new thing with yogurt is to squish his hands in it... yuckAt Clint and Kara's house: Jake and Ella getting quite a fun ride around the house in this bin

We watched our friend's kids a couple of weeks ago (Janna and Luke). They were a lot of fun! We gave them ice cream and they all sat there so cute at the table, I had to capture it! Jake has really grown to love these boys - he gets all excited to see their oldest, Stone.
