Little Surfer Boy


Jake has just about grown out of his 0-3 month clothes and needed the next size up... so, taking advantage of a coupon I had, I went to Gymboree and bought him such cute stuff! This is his first bathing suit! I love the board shorts, although they look like pants on him. He was so excited when we put them on! He is such a water baby. I can't wait for him to be able to go into the swimming pool for the first time!

Uncle Adam's Birthday



Adam turned 23, yeah! We all went to T.G.I.F.'s for dinner to celebrate with him. Jake got to see his cousins and some of his aunts. We had a great time.

Idaho...Our Crazy Trip





So, I took Jacob to Idaho to meet his other set of grandparents... what an adventure! Most of you know the long story it was to get to the actual state of Idaho, so to avoid re-telling the very long yet humorous story, I will just say that it was a typical start to any trip that I take when going to that lovely state. My dad has been insisting on my moving there, and though I know this would make him very happy, the answer is no. The city that my dad and Jan live in has grown a lot and it is very pretty there. The mountains that surround the valley they live in were covered in snow and made such a beautiful sight in the morning. The town has grown so much that it is even bigger then Newbury Park. It is sad, however, because all of the new houses are the same 5 colors, making the landscape somewhat uninteresting. Although our trip out was horrible, once there, we had a good time. Jake was able to wear his snow suit that was bought for him in Italy by his grandmother and he fell asleep in the snow! He also got to meet two of his great-grandmothers and many other family members. His second cousins loved him and couldn't stop playing with him. It was really cute because Jake is finally starting to really interact by talking and smiling with everyone around him. We spent 10 days in Idaho, despite the diet contest I am currently in, I gained 1.5lbs eating all my favorite meals and they were worth every calorie! We are glad to be home but, we were sad to leave everyone. Enjoy our pictures!!!

The Face


Many people will hold my son and he's slightly gasy. I'm always being told "I think Jake is pooping". My response- you'll know. There is NO question about it! This is one of those pictures and stories a parent saves for the serious girlfriend...

Smile Time!
















I finally did it! I was able to capture some of Jake's greatest smiles on camera! Here is my little angel at 7 1/2 weeks old beaming from ear to ear. He's been cranky all day as he gets use to his new schedule, but you'd never know it by these pictures. Oh yeah... ingore to spit-up in his mouth... :)
