Happy Birthday Daddy!

We are a few days late but Jake and I hope Daddy had a great birthday!! We got to celebrate a bit while Grammy watched Jake and we had dinner at Crazy Burger here in Narragansett. We are trying to soak up as much as Narragansett and it's surroundings before we move up north.
Also, Happy Belated Birthday to Mia Madison - 5 YEARS OLD!! Where did those five years go? We are looking forward to her carnival themed party this weekend!

The summer has been busy for us with birthdays,online classes, more birthdays and lot's of house hunting. Once we found "the one" we have been busy just trying to get everything in order. We plan to move mid-September and are looking forward to being closer to both families.

A big welcome to Jake's new friend - Lillian Jean Goodrich! He was patiently awaiting her arrival and is so happy she finally made her debut (only 13 days late!)! We look forward to visiting the new Goodrich family member very soon!

Jake is growing before our eyes and seems to be doing something new everyday! He loves to sing "Row, Row, Row, Row, Row (Your Boat) and still rocks out to The Wheels on the Bus. He is walking all over the place, getting into everything and anything he can get his hands on! Stairs are still a constant source of entertainment for him as well! He loves to shake his head NO whenever he is asked a question..but throws in a few Yes nods once in a while. Blowing kisses to the ladies and showing lot's of TLC make him the cuddliest little boy! We love every minute of his cuddlebugness!

Hope you are all ready for August!! Here it comes!!


Cheesing it up with Mommy!


Chillaxing with Daddy!

Bye Bye Hair

We have been asked a few times this past week "boy or girl?" in reference to our beautiful "ALL BOY" son. Another incident - OMG, SHE has the most BEAUTIFUL blue eyes. She is a boy, thank you. So.. we took Jake up to Daddy's barber shop and got his haircut. We have been saying for weeks if not months now that we were going to cut his hair. It's not that easy. In fact, it was very very very very hard. But, we did it. I have regrets, Alex does not. I look back at the pictures pre-cut and I miss his brown locks..I really do. I know this haircut will grow on me (please grow fast long lost hair) but it's just that I miss the little baby boy look he had. The baby look and the baby hair. It's gone.

Here are a few pre-cut, cut and post cut..










































































































Mommy got her hair cut today too..it doesn't matter..I miss Jake's hair more.

On a positive note..we had a great afternoon at the beach today with Grammy, Auntie 2, Dick & Auntie Kaylin...loved the sun sand, surf and great company!

Happy Fourth!

Happy Fourth of July! Today is Jake's first second holiday! Does that make sense? It's the first holiday he will celebrate for the second time...

Just 365 days ago he was this...







We hope you all enjoy the sunny weather and get to see lots of fireworks!

Walking! And lot's more.

First things first.. HAPPY (Belated) Birthday to Grampa Jack...Jake had a great time celebrating another birthday and eating more cake..



Jake had a great time feeding Auntie her cake..




And playing Hide and Seek with Auntie 2:



Last week we had Jake's one year appointment. One YEAR! Wow. It went very well and the Dr. said he is right on track for everything. She even had some changes for us. No more bottles or formula and no guilt over stopping the nursing. So, we have switched things up and Jake is now drinking milk or water from sippy cups only and eating big boy meals. So far, he has been great and loves to drink from any sippy cups and has some foody favorites: mac and cheese, chicken nuggets, kiwi, green beens, chicken and lots of other foods. He even had Sal's pizza last week, he will be well prepared when he goes to Merrimack.


Jake is walking, all on his own. On Sunday we cleared a ton of room for him in the living room and let him roam free. At first he was walking from person to person just a few feet, diving into us when he reached us. Then he started standing on his own while drinking from a sippy cup. He is now walking even more and standing more on his own. He is gaining confidence and will be running in no time. We are in for it! It's such a fun time though. He tends to laugh a lot when he is walking and has a great time doing it. Our little man is on the move!

I'm working very hard to get the video up of him walking..but it wont work. Try back!

We hope everyone has a safe and Happy Fourth of July!
