Everyday is a battle with him to wear his glasses. For some reason Jake always holds his hand over his left eye and when he has his glasses on he can't do that so he pulls them off. I think it's going to be hard until we can communicate more with him and explain why they are so important to wear. Jake's eye disorder has been stable since his surgery. We still have exams under anesthesia frequently to monitor his eyes but we've been blessed with all good reports so far.

Jake loves to be outside. In fact if I let him he would stay outside all day and night. He loves going down his new slide. He loves wagon rides with Gizzy. Jake LOVES bath time and brushing his teeth.
Jake is growing up so fast and doing so many things now. Where did my little baby go. I think it might be time to get him a big boy hair cut but I am having a hard time with that. He is still in a crib and I think I am going to keep him in there for his safety for a while.
I cherish the moments I get to spend with Jake. B and I are discussing me going back to work because money is getting really tight and I am scared to leave him and sad to lose all the time I have with him during the day. I do think it might be good for him to be with other kids during the day though. Sad.
Here are some newer pictures of Jake.
Jake loves the yard. The neighbors cotton tree makes a mess out of our yard. |

Friday nights is pizza night. He loves pizza. He is now able to pick it up and eat it instead of me having to cut it up in little pieces. Tonight he ate two whole pieces. Growing boy! |
Jake just learned how to use a straw. Now he wants to drink everything out of a straw. |
Jake loves rides with Papa and Molly up at the cabin |

Jake and his friend Emily. We were blessed to meet a family with a daughter that has the same eye disorder as Jake. Now he has a friend just like him that he can relate to. |
First bike ride. He doesn't look like he is having fun but he had a blast. |
Dare Devil |
First real injury. He went down the slide face first as you can see from the picture above this one. |
So there you have it. Jake please slow down so I can take everything in. You are just growing up way to fast for me. I love you baby.

I love the glasses. You should keep doing posts like this - it is amazing how fast kids grow up.
He looks like a kid with character - I'm loving the glasses!
Nice pictures. I love the first one of him in the grass.
Ah yes, how a little one in our house loves the head first sliding!
