If you are in the area and haven't been already, I strongly suggest the butterfly exhibit at the Academy of Natural Science. It is a big room full of free-range butterflies, and Jake got to visit with his Grandma and Grandpa Arrowsmith who stopped in for some baby love on their way back down South.
i am soooo not supposed to have this right now oooh sweet, sweet sugar happy birthday aaron!! thanks to your mom for spazzing jake out! and for those who are alarmed, jake only had two tip o' the toungefuls of icing and a wee bit of mommyspit-soaked cake
happy eight months buddy! i bought jake a new old fisher price phone, only to realize he'll have no idea what the heck that thing is. unless he works in civil service, because i know for a fact they are still using avocado green rotary phones.
this seems to be the new order of things. jake in the playpen, hanging off the side. he can't get there by himself, and he has learned that once he lets go, that game is over. so, he stays there. and pukes on himself from the effort.
