The Jakesters journal

I have tried numerous times to get the best video of Jake to load, but it is 18MB too large and I am having trouble chopping part of it.

Here are some recent photos in the meantime.

A charmer at heart - this is going to make correction very difficult in the future - well it actually already does. He flashes that grin and it's hard to be firm.

Jake is getting into everything. He scared the daylights out of me the other day when he took a toy apart and I found him chewing on one piece with the tiny nickel-sized battery on the floor beside him. I praise God for watching over my child! (And I've been accused of being over protective! I'm wondering if I'm not protective enough. I'm thinking I should not let him out of my sight.)

My growling Goliath! Jake is almost 30 inches long. (They measured him wrong at his 9 month check-up as only 28 1/2 inches) and weighs 19 lbs and 4 oz. He is crawling over me here and growling with glee. I thought I was having a baby, not a monster! :)

And one more:

Here he is with his beloved and beautiful, Aunt Emily. He adores her and she him, I dare say. :) She and Aunt Clare came for a visit and homemade pizzas yesterday. We had a fun time.
