Jake's Newborn Pics

My friend Carrie did some newborn pictures of Jake. He was 10 days old here. I haven't posted them because I am using them for his announcements and I didn't know which ones I was going to use so I didn't want to post them until I decided. But the announcements are done and will be put in the mail tomorrow! Finally! So those pictures aren't posted on here. Anyhow, here are some of my favorites! Thanks again Carrie!

One Month Old & other stuff...

Our little baby is one month old today! I can't believe it has been one month already! It feels like we just brought him home from the hospital. One month down and a couple more to go with this being up every two hours to eat! AGH!!

James trying to show Jake his cars! So sweet!

Craig took James today to Roger Dunn to pick up some stuff and ended up buying James his very first REAL golf club. Craig is working on him being the next Tiger! James loves "playing" golf with Daddy,(putting in the house). He loves his new club and even took it to bed with him tonight!
Watching Daddy to see how it is done!

Daddy helping James

Craig was invited to a charity event tonight for OCHSA, (O.C. H.S. of the Arts) by a client and was able to bring his wife! That is the first time I was invited to something for work and I couldn't go! :( One, the baby has never had a bottle and two I am not able to get into any "normal" clothes yet so I am not going anywhere nice till I can! But here he is all dressed up in his tux! It was black tie...so bummed, it would have been a fun night out!

Birthday Party for James!

Yesterday we had a small family Birthday party for James, with 24 people! Family just keeps getting bigger and bigger! And BTW we had our newest addition arrive today! Congrats Vince & Lisa!!
James was taking a bath before his party, I had to put this picture in because James was so cute in Jake's tub. He was just sitting there relaxing for the longest time!

James' Cars cake! Made by my friend Taegan & Frosty Tops Bakery!

This time James didn't mind the candle being lit and here he is blowing it out! Yay!

Digging in! Yum!

Nina & Nonni & James still trying to play with his cars on the cake! He LOVED his cake!

Opening presents! James got lots of cool presents, thanks everyone!

Happy Birthday James!!

Today was James' 2nd Birthday! I can't believe it has been two years! I know I say it all the time but they grow up SO fast! We have had a lot of Birthdays in the family so James understands that it is someones Birthday. He is always singing Happy Birthday and whenever he sees a cake or cupcake he sings Happy Birthday to Daddy. Craig's B-day was in December and we have had others Birthdays since then but for some reason he is stuck on Daddy's. So when we told him it is his Birthday he didn't get it. He had his two year check up today and he is doing very well. He weighed a whopping 36lbs. which put him in the 97th percentile and his height they couldn't get an accurate read because he wouldn't stand still. But the Dr. is guessing he is in the 97th percentile for that too, since at 18 months he was 33 1/2. He got his finger pricked and one shot. He was pretty good, he cried a bit but he mostly cried over the toys that he wanted to play with that were in the waiting room! Since he was so good we went to Target after and he picked out his own toy! Here is what he picked out!

After Target, we went to lunch with Nonni and then James zonked out in the car. When he woke up Daddy and Mommy took James to the park!

Trying to climb up the slide!

There were a bunch of kids there who were all together on a play date and James just thought they were all there to play with him! He was running around with them and kept saying "guys" trying to get the kids to play with him. Awe...poor kid!

Jake all cozy in the Bjorn!

After the park Nonni and Papa came over for dinner and cupcakes!

Showing Papa his new truck!

We also just got the Wii and here are Nonni and Papa playing it for the first time! James laying on the ground watching!


He was scared of the candles, he didn't want them on his cupcake nor did he want me to light them! Maybe it had something to do with his hair catching on fire at Christmas!!!

He loves his sweets!

James wanting more frosting on his cupcake! Monster child!

Happy Birthday James! We love you!

Some New Pics

I know it has been SO long since I posted pics of Jake! Kidding...but here are a few from today! He is staying awake a little bit longer now and is getting more alert every day!

Our Future Royal!!!

Today Brianna got her acceptance letter from Rosary! She will now be a future Royal! We are so happy and proud of her!!! And I can't believe she will be starting high school in 6 months!

For awhile now Brianna has been very eager to pass me up in height. I keep telling her that she is done growing and it isn't going to happen. I think I stopped growing in about 7th grade. Well she has officially passed me up! She is now exactly 5' 4". I can't believe it! Well I can, it isn't hard to do but I just can't believe my "little" girl is taller than me! So sad! Hopefully she will be done soon so she isn't THAT much taller than me! She would like to grow another inch, that would be her ideal height!
Here she is finally WANTING to hold the baby and cuddling with him.
She never lets me take her picture, so this is the best I could get!
