Jakie Jake!

Here are some cute pictures of Jake from March. How could a picture of Jake not be cute?!

Jake is sitting up by himself for short periods of time. One day Luke counted to 21 before Jake toppled over. Luke ran to his room and got his soccer medal and hung it around Jake's neck.

Jake really likes Tummy Time now, in fact prefers it to being on his back. He can roll over now, too, quick as a flash. But he only likes to do it when he thinks no one is watching.

Ooops, sorry Grandpa.

He was kind of iffy on the swing

Luke's 5th Birthday

Luke's 5th Birthday was Saturday, March 16 and we had a party at our house! I was so busy making sure everything at the party was going OK that I forgot to take pictures. I took more pictures BEFORE the party of the cake and food than I did of the birthday boy. So, uh, here's this cake I baked.

The party theme was The Moon and Space.

We had fruit rockets and two different cupcakes that Luke decorated, homemade chocolates, snacks, and cake.

Before the guests arrived.

Luke during the cake ceremony. Broody and pensive as usual.

Luke blew the candles out in one great blow. Here he is looking cool afterward, like it was no big deal.

Here is a new video and some pictures of Jake from today!

Luke's Last Month of Being 4

February was busy for Luke. He got to go sledding for the first time ever!
 Yes, what a travesty that it took this long but I'm sure he won't suffer for it.

Luke got a fish tank for Christmas and we finally filled it with some fish. After this picture was taken, we have since added two more-- Roe and Ray.

I went to Seattle on a business trip for a week and Luke sent me this picture after I arrived. I almost got on the plane to go back home.

A Whole February of Jake

Here are some of my favorite pictures of Jake from the month. All but the last three were taken by Grandma Siorek! Jake goes over Grandma and Grandpa's house every Tuesday and Thursday while mom and dad work.
