He is finally walking!

Jake took his first step on March 18th! He has been standing and taking few more steps since. Mark and I worked with him tonight to get him to walk more. He loved the attention and did very well.


We took him took him to the park today since it was 70 degrees in Kansas City. As you can see from the picture above, he loved the park. I am sure we will be back.

14th Month Birthday

Jake caught a sparrow, tore its head off and ate it. Ok, not really. For his 14th month birthday we got him a red velvet cupcake with cream cheese icing. He thoroughly enjoyed it as you can see.

Happy 14th month, son.

Not a Walker but a Talker


Jake is now 13 months and still insists on not walking. He can "cruise" meaning that he can walk holding onto things like the wall and furniture. He has started to stand on his own without holding onto anything.

He has been increasing his vocabulary and say about 15 words but understand a whole lot more. He learns new words every day and beginning to pronounce them more accurately. The doctor says that the reason he may not be walking yet is because he is concentrating on learning words. Apparently babies can't do both. Why not???

He loves Teletubbies and says "La La" which is the yellow Teletubbie when he wants to watch the show. We will begin weaning him off the bottle. We've been waiting until he is well. He's had a cold FOREVER. He even developed a rash from it.

He is getting all four canines at the same time right now. Poor kid. He got his first tooth when he was 5 months and he hasn't stopped since. I wonder what he'll do when he no longer has tooth aches?

He loves to go to a play area in Zona Rosa. The indoor facillity is a mall that has a play area made up of big fruits that you can climb and crawl. There are lots of children and Jake loves it. He literally screams in joy the whole time he is there. Below is a picture of him on a slide made out of a peach.


He is starting to transform into a boy from a baby. He is starting to test his limits. I think it's kind of cute now but I'm sure I'll won't later.
