Here is the real Bear in action. I used his emergency stand in for the previous post. Bear has three stunt men in case of loss, puke, or poop. We are still on the original Bear, but he's lost his ribbon and his fur is a bit mangy as a result of a year and a half or so of sucking.

Payton's bear only has one stuntwoman, but there are more out there.

Think they are the cutest bears ever and need one for yourself? They are both discontinued Beanie Babies. Jake has Fuzz and Payton has Curly. You can find them on Ebay and via tons of Crazy Cat Ladies all over America.

Payton doesn't know it yet, and neither do her parents, but this is going to be her most favorite bear ever.

Payton doesn't know it yet, and neither do her parents, but this is going to be her most favorite bear ever. I'll have Jake give it to her the first time he sees her. Isn't that cute?

This is Jake's favorite bear ever. His name is Bear. Not Beer, as Jake will have you believe.

Here's Beer and Bear sitting nice.
That didn't last long.

Beer wins.

explanation

for those who asked why i don't do videos more often, this is why. jake thinks that the camera is only for regular pictures.
for those who don't speak jake, he is saying "cheese" and "smile"

just a few more

helicopters spin and buses have squeaky brakes. duh.

important note

that's an air pump jake is playing with in those videos.
not a gun

one two three twice

tomorrow

jake sings happy birthday

to himself.

cookies!!!

Jake really likes cookies.

"i kip"

Jake is still sick, but not enough so to skimp on grooming.

And this is what I get for leaving a tape recording of Poppa A. and a book to babysit while I got some work done

Can I still call this a "roll" of paper towels?
Jake calls it "pape-ah bankets". Everything is a blanket.

It's cold out.

more video

unless you share DNA with this child, you may not enjoy this. I was attempting to get him cracking up at the TubbyCustard (if you don't know, don't ask) and perform some of his tricks. getting him to pay attention to me while the Teletubbies are on is nearly impossible

i do it

jake took these pics all by himself. prodigy.

all done

new year's day is over. dave is asleep on the couch, exhausted from his parading. jake is passed out upstairs, exhausted from time at kat kat's house. i had every intention of taking him down, and we even did his shoes, but no. i didn't watch any of the parade, and i skipped two street, but i'm pretty beat too.

who dat?

happy new year to those who dream in color and black and white. personally, i love the b&w's.






Jake says, "adios 2007! seeya-bye! ciao! arribadiachia! hab a good day!"
