What have we been up to?

A LOT! My family and I are staying quite busy these days..swimming, playdates, school, work, etc. Typically, after school and work, we play outside in the evenings..taking walks and riding bikes. Last week on one rainy evening my mom and I decided to make cupcakes. We pretended that it was my birthday..again. This time I got to take the cupcakes to school the next day! Here's a picture of Jakey licking a beater. We had to give him something to do so he would stop trying to "help" us.As I said, we've been going to our neighborhood pool to swim and play. We went last weekend again. This time there were no kids there when we first got there and I asked where all the kids were?!. Jake loves the pool and well, I don't as much. Maybe it's because it's still too cold. My favorite part about going to the pool last weekend was stopping by to see our "neighborhood geese" on the way.It's really hard to believe that Jake will be 1 yr. old later this month. Boy, time flies! He's not walking yet but he gets on and off his riding toys by himself and is quite mobile. This week, he even learned how to make himself go on the electric 4-wheeler! He was quite proud of himself. Jake's currently cutting some more teeth so getting up again at night. Luckily, I sleep right through it! Jake says mama and dada and babbles some other things. His new word is yum, yum. Anytime he eats something, he says, "yum, yum". Even if he's eating leaves outside, they are "yum, yum". EWE!
