He's walking!

We went to pick him up at school and his teachers said that Jake has been walking all day! I didn't believe them at first but it is true. Jake is walking and walking and walking. For a month now, he would walk taking 3 to 4 steps at a time when STRONGLY encouraged with claps and "yeahs". But not any more. He does it on his own. With his new found skills, he has also found his freedom. He has developed a very strong will to go wherever he wants. Oh boy....

SARS Pit of all SARS Pit

We take Jake to various indoor amousement areas. My husband and I call them SARS pit. A little disclaimer, we are not saying there are any SARS. We just think that is funny. We've gone to the one in Zona Rosa and Oak Park Mall in Overland Park. We decided to take him to the one in Indendence Mall because they have a huge play area with a merry-go-round and a food court.

Well I don't have to tell you that Jake started yelling for joy when he saw it. We were there for at least an hour playing and eating. When you have a rainy and cold Saturday and wonder what to do with your active child, you should try it. Here he is on the merry-go-round with his dad-o.

Jake loved the merry-go-round. The first time around, he was enjoying the ride. The second time, he was studying the horse. The third time, he wanted to know how the horse was going up and down. Jake is very analytical.
