Jake turned 15 months old a week ago. He is such a ham, I laugh at him constantly. My sweet, precious little boy is growing up way too fast! I’m so so so happy I made the decision to stay home with him more. I am loving every second. He is on the verge of talking up a storm. He tries really hard. He’s starting to say more words – more clearly if that makes sense. He can almost say Lola – which is a hard work for a kid… it sounds more like Wola, TOO CUTE! He’s been saying momma and dada for a long time. His first actual word after those was “Buck” wouldn’t ya know it. ha! He points to any deer and says “BUCK”. He has been saying “Ouch, Dat Mine (ugh), Shhh (for shoe), book, bye bye, bite-bite, and I’m sure I’m forgetting a few. He is incredibly smart. I know, I’m sure every mom says this about their kid… but I just can’t get over how he can see something or hear something once and know exactly what I am talking about. He learns fast. It just amazes me. He waves at everyone and flashes a HUGE smile with his sweet dimples. I mean, melt MY heart! At Wal-Mart yesterday he had all the old ladies who were Christmas/grocery shopping just laughing it up! ;) One funny story – we went to eat lunch last week and in a booth right behind us there was a little girl in a high chair right next to Jake – so they waved at each other, laughed, cut up, cut his eyes at her, then he grabbed my arm and looked at her and said “dat miiiine” HA!!!!!! I thought I was going to fall over! Heeeelarious! Of course I think everything he does is funny. So if you are bored reading this, I’m sorry ;)
Poor baby had strep throat all week. He is still on antibiotics. I’m glad we caught it early enough to where he wasn’t real sick with high fever. I could tell he felt bad though. Plus teething on top of that, always! Blah!
I am SOOO excited for Christmas – now that I am done shopping that is! ;) Jake is going to be so much fun! Santa brought my present early this year… a new big camera. YAY! I’ve been using my phone for a year and it just doesn’t do the trick. I love love love taking pictures even tho I am not good at it! Maybe I will be hitting up Mrs. Wendy White for her class she is offering in Jan. I will have to post more pics when I get the hang of it. I took a few at the creek a couple of days ago…. It was like 60 degrees so Jake and I played in the mud .. he was a major fan.
Here are a few pics from the past couple of weeks (from my phone.. sorry they are blurry).. I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas! Enjoy family time!

Ok, this is what I find in Jake's room everyday. He loves taking this stuff from the kitchen into his room. And he brings his leggo's into the kitchen. lol
trying on his hat - goof ball
His new favorite place in the house, on the barstool!
Sick baby, fell asleep on momma. :/
Tried to upload our Christmas card (which I wasn't going to send but did at the last minute) however; it didn't upload. Dangit.
