A day in the life of Jake...

How exactly do you wake up this happy?

Find a balloon I guess...

He undecorated the christmas tree several times

Is she really letting me touch these?

He refound the balloon

and chased it EVERYWHERE!!

He played with snowflakes

Picked up snow..

and ATE IT!!

Jake washed his hair

and rinsed it out...

He practiced with his fork (he will not use a little one)

and almost fell asleep doing it!

Practice makes perfect

Aunt KeeKee bought our sweet girl her 1st baby doll. Jake found it in the bag and was instantly in love. He completely soaked the doll with kisses and wanted it out of the box. Luckily Austin found an old doll and he was perfectly content to smother it with love. I am hoping with much pratice our sweet little brutus who is very content to dish out "smackdowns" on a daily basis will have a sweet side once his sister arrives! I am not holding my breath but we'll sure keep praticing...

We are so proud of all his hard work!

We didn't get very good news at the doctor's. Well at least not what I expected. He has a level 3 (the worst) sprain/tear of his lateral collaterall ligament. The good news is that he does not at this time require surgery. I am soo grateful for that. She explained how extensive a surgery would be at his age, drilling through growth plates etc, so again I am soo relieved that this should heal. He completely tore the ligament from the bone so he will have to keep it immobilized and stay on crutches for at least another 3 weeks. She said this type of injury can take as long as 8 weeks to heal but she will recheck him in 3 and we will go from there. She was a wonderful doctor but he was in alot of pain when we left from all the moving that she did. Here are a few pics from the weekend.

It's a healthy..

Baby Girl!

Sorry for the picture quality. It's a pic of a pic. But you get the idea. We are OVER the moon excited. I still think I am floating somewhere above cloud 9! I think we only knew for about 15 minutes and her big brothers and I were already headed to the mall. I soon realized that nnothing seemed quite perfect enough for her and that this was going to be one expensive adventure. I truely cannot wait to meet her but am wanting her to stay put until she is good and ready. Daddy no longer seems to be in shock but is still threatening with putting me on spending restrictions...gotta love 24 hour shifts!! I really can't believe it and am so looking forward to welcoming our sweet little princess into this overly manly house...and finally it looks like dinner is about to change :)
