14 Months

Jake actually reached the 14 month milestone yesterday, the 15th.

Jake is coming into his own, developing quite the little (BIG) personality.

First and foremost he is finally walking! He is walking more and more from one thing to another. He still prefers to crawl, but he's getting there.

Jake screams "Dad!" like he's at a rock concert. My boys get really grumpy when they're hungry so we're usually sitting down eating by the time that daddy gets in the door and when Jake hears the door open he makes sure to let Ryan know that he hears him and daddy needs to come over and say hi!

Jake also screams...a lot...just to be heard. He will scream (and I mean SCREAM) if Tyler takes a toy from him, if he is waiting impatiently for his milk in the morning, or any meal. Sometimes he even screams just for fun with Tyler- they like to make a game of driving mom crazy.

Jake says "mom" a lot more and it is the most adorable thing that comes out of his mouth! He can scream "mom" too when he wants me to come get him out of the crib.

Jake makes cute little clicking sounds and kissing noises and he knows I think it's funny. He also grinds his teeth and the sound makes me cringe (he knows that too)

Jake has also started to stand up in his high chair- not cool.

He really likes shoes, not matter whose they are. He seems to think that he has to have on shoes to be able to walk. We love to see him work so hard and get from here to there.

What else is there to say about our sweet blondie? He is very passionate about life, he's got a smile that could melt a heart of ice and he makes our home a more complete place.

Love you Jake!
