Jake's First Hair Cut

We were going to wait until he was one but it just didn't happen. His hair is not growing on the sides at all and the mohawk was just getting bigger. Plus it is so fine and always looked crazy. So we decided to even things out. It took awhile to get used to the new do but we like it.

Our Valentine

Here is the Valentine card that Andrew made for us at day care. I thought it was so sweet. It is the first handmade thing I have received as a mother. I know there will be many to come over the years but it was so special to get this first one. Thank you my love, Andrew. You are a sweet boy.

Guitar Hero

So my awesome husband bought me Guitar Hero III for our Wii. I absolutely love it and can waste way too much time playing. But Andrewis also a big fan. He wants it on all the time. He comes up to you and starts bobbing around, pointing to the guitar and saying dancing, dancing. It is really cute. However it does get old pretty quickly when that is all he wants to do. Here are a few shots of my little guitar hero. Sometimes I let him sit on my lap and he helps me play. Let's just say that it adds a whole new difficulty level to the game.

Standing Man

Yup, it's true, Jacob is now a self standing little man. He pulls himself up on anything and is even cruising around. He so wants to walk but just doesn't have the balance for it yet. Keep working on it little dude, you'll get there.

Tooth #2

That's right, Jake has managed to get a second tooth. Popped through today. Poor kid is in teething pain but has 2 teeth to show for it. What a trooper!

Amazing

It is amazing. Jacob pulled himself up today. That is right, pulled himself up to standing. We could not believe it. He was so proud of himself and smiling. Of course we are so proud of him too. Then we went to lower the mattress on the crib. The last thing we need is for him to pull himself up and go over the side. We are predicting he will be walking in the next few months. It is just unbelievable. Our little guy is growing up so fast.

7 month update

Jake had his 7 month check up today. It wasn't the best news in the world. We got a double ear infection diagnosis. But at least it explains the fever he has had for 2 days and we now have medicine to treat it. Poor kid has been through a lot the past few day. The ear infections and he is getting teeth. The first one popped through on Thursday morning and the one next to it is trying to break through. The bottom teeth that is.

Stats:
Length - 26 inches and the 25th percentile
Weight - 16 pounds and the 10th percentile

He is definitely our little man. His big accomplishment this last month is crawling. Jake is all over the place. It is so cute to watch him take off.
