Like Father, Like Son

Every blog needs a post title like this.

Last week, Jake was pretty sick. He had a high fever which turned out to be caused by a bad ear infection.

Anyway, one day, Cam took the day off to stay with him. Before I left he started working on cleaning up an old inherited sewing machine.

Of course, Jake was right by his side!

Cam assures me that Jake actually spent most of the day like this. :)

When Jake was feeling better, we went out on a play date (more on that later).

After working up an appetite, we headed over to Krispy Kreme to "educate" the child.

No surprise, he LOVED his doughnut. In fact, I picked a blueberry one for him, but he opened the box and took out this pumpkin one before I noticed. Silly Kid.

And, this is why I say, "Like Father, Like Son."

Don't Say I Never Share Pics of Jake...

Against Jake's wishes, I will be sharing some of his latest antics.

A crib pic. He is still napping well two times a day most days.

And getting into the fridge any time it is opened.

This is soy sauce.

My panic of potential spills was set aside for a few moments while I snapped some pictures.

Soy Sauce Boozer.

Running to Mom. This is what most pics look like these days.

Jake is also a handsome little fellow.

His first tie!

or when he isn't wearing hardly anything. :)

Renaissance Festival 2010

We kept up with tradition this year and headed out the Ren Fair this weekend.

Archery

I'm better. :)

A rock wall climb.

(4 years ago, Cam turned a profit on the speed wall. Not this year though. He says he is getting old.)

Jake enjoyed his time as well.

Waiting in line for his first elephant ride!

And, here we are!

And, just as we were about to leave and get our fussy boy home, he fell asleep.

So I took some time to get some pictures of him

(don't judge his ridged toenails. :p)

Chubby cheeks, sunscreen spiked hair, cuddling his sword.

(I made his sword. I think I will be putting a tutorial up on my craft blog soon!)

A Little Jake

I think I promised posts this week. Well, that was when I thought I was going to be able to schedule them right then. That didn't happen. At least I can say that technically the week is not over! So, enjoy some Jake!

In order to make this project... I needed Cam to cut some wood for me.

So, off to the garage we went because Jake was whining at the door like a puppy.

And being the good mom I am - I made him wear ear protection. :)

and... handed him a dum dum to suck on. ;)

He loved it, in case you were wondering.

Tonight

Cam and I have been really busy today. It was good to be home all day and catch up. Catch up days always make our lives run more smoothly. First on the list? My office/craft room. All the other rooms in the house have gotten some sort of de-clutter time, but not my office. This is mostly due to the daunting nature of the task. :) Well, It is done now!!! We moved some furniture around and now I don't have to sew down on the kitchen table. Sweet!

Some other happenings of the day included a fussy Jake. I am sure he is getting one molar. He is chomping on his index finger shoved all the way back and when I feel, there seems to be a slight bump. We wont mention the three bottom front teeth he is working on to match the one what popped up last week. Poor kid! So on top of all that, we decided it was time to finally cut Jakes hair... again. This will officially be Jake's 3rd hair cut.

We wrestled him to get this picture... haha.

It looks like a baby mug shot, but oh well!

This is what we took off.

And the phone is how we bribed him to sit still.

I used a 2 on the sides and buzzed it and then I cut the top myself.

I am pretty pleased. He actually sat mostly still!

Here is the series of after shots where he is thinking, "Where'd the phone go! I'm hungry! My teeth hurt! And, I want to go to bed!"

Baby Mug Shot #2

This is Jake crawling over me while I am trying to get some kind if picture.

Can you even see a difference in his hair?

And then he was mad because I wasn't sharing the camera and I was holding him back with one hand while taking the picture with the other.

Poor kid. Lots of loves followed.

And dinner.

After dinner we did a bath.

Are you bored yet?

I have been feeling like I haven't been getting good 'ol classic photos of Jake lately.

Like the bath. :)

Posing.

He doesn't ever sit in the bath, but him not crying while in the bath is a huge improvement so we let him stand. He hasn't fallen yet! (Knock on wood...)

This is him squatting. It is the closest I have ever seen him voluntarily get to the water.

And, some bath-time smiles.

It is blurry, I know.

My point and shoot does that. :(

Hope your day was as fun as ours.

Picture of my current projects, my new office, and of course Jakey are to come all week!

For the Korea-residing siblings...

Meet Jake - the 14 month old version.

We never turn on the TV. Not because we are opposed, but because we don't have cable and we are never home - so, I have been slowly training Jake to entertain himself in front of the TV. This was our second lesson.

He sat in front of the TV watching very intently with the Catch Phrase timer beeping for like five minutes. It was too funny.

Another thing Jake is good at is growing. We just pulled out all of the stashed 18 month old clothes and are starting to transition. :) The reason I tell you all of this is because we found this little gem.

Yeah, it's a Wall-E (The movie. Have you seen it?) shirt. Wall-E lights up. He.Was.Mesmorized.

And, as of right now, Green Beans are Jake's favorite food.

Well... next to cotton candy. ;)
