Can YOUR baby read?
Mine can! Well, sorta, kinda, not really.
He can, however, watch the Your Baby Can Read DVD's now!
A few months ago I found the Starter Disk of the set at Goodwill - SCORE! I think it was $2. Jake has been watching it off and on since then and really loves it. He will do the motions and giggles at the dogs and everything.
So, while we were watching it on Sat with Lollie, I got an idea to check Craigslist to see if I could get the set for a reasonable price...
DOUBLE SCORE!
There was an ad for the whole set with extras for $65! Lollie immediately jumped on board and we loaded up into the car to meet the lady. Guess what - the set was BRAND NEW - still in the wrapper!
So now that we have directions and know what to do - Jake is watching the DVD 2x a day and then in a month we'll move on to the next disk!
Stay tuned for updates....

We ended up at the pediatricians office today...
Last night, when Jess was getting Jake ready for bed he noticed big white welts surrounded by warm red skin on our little boys thigh. This pretty much alarmed both of us, but after taking pictures and sending them to a nurse friend we were assured that there was no reason to head to the ER, but that we needed to call the Dr in the morning.
By the morning he had them everywhere, but the ones on the thigh had gone away, so I called the Dr and was told to come in that afternoon!
Turns out, Jake basically had hives - the doctor called them something much more complicated, but basically he said to give him benedryl until the hives stopped coming back.
Talk about stressing a Momma out!
About 20 mins after a dose of benedryl the hives magically disappear - so I HOPE this doesn't last but a few days! The benedryl seems to make him feel a little out of sorts... poor Boogie.

Today, I dusted off the old stroller and Jake and I headed out to the park!
This little boy is so much like his Daddy - he LOVES to just watch people... Other kids showed up and he was mesmerized...

Today we went to meet ANOTHER new baby! Jake actually does pretty well with this, he gets a little jealous, but not too bad at all.
This is Decker at 2 days old...
Decker did not like it when I unswaddled him!
Jake was also adorable today...
Daddy was outside mowing the grass and he climbed on his own into the kitchen window sill.

Jake also loves Layla!
In fact, every time he sees one of the dogs he hugs and kisses them - our dogs get more kisses from him than WE do!
It is adorable though!
Here he is hugging Layla's neck... this was right after he smothered her in kisses!
Layla does not look amused... but she secretly loves it!

We discovered a new playground today! Well, we knew it was there, but just never visited it.
Anyways, I think this is going to be great! It's about 3/4 of a mile or so from the house, so I'm going to start trying to walk there with Jake in the stroller a few times a week.

Jake loves his Grandpa - and he has the shirt to prove it.
Don't worry Lollie - we are working on a shirt for you. :)
