Climbing up wasn't a problem.  Getting down on the other hand...

It wasn't long before he was climbing it on his own.

Jake got a little play structure as an early birthday gift.  He was having fun playing on it - under the watchful eye of mommy.

Lots standing these days...

Jake and daddy took a walk down to the water this weekend.

Until we get the big pool warm enough for the little guy, he's now splashing around in his little pool.

Here is Jake chillin in the sandbox at daycare.

Jake loves climbing in and out of his toy chest.  He gets stuck a lot.

Here is Jake doing his new routine: stand up, take a few steps, then jump!!!

Here's a view through the monitor of Jake asleep in his crib.  No wonder they call it child's pose.

Now that's he's getting more vertical, Jake loves cruising around the coffee table playing with the tops to his bottles.

This was Jake's first run with his cool new bowl.  It was a hit.  So was the bottle cap he played with the whole time.

Jake and daddy out for a walk down the driveway.

Here is Jake's first official work out.

Lately Jake has been into a new toy at daycare.  You hit the top and everything inside spins.  Over and over and over and over...

Jake likes to climb into this chest at daycare.  Sometimes he gets stuck.

Jake practicing taking steps with Mommy.  It's just a matter of time before this little guy is fully mobile.  Scary thought...

Jake and Daddy watched soccer together on Saturday morning.  He couldn't believe how awesome Lowton's goal was against Stoke.  Go Villa!!!

While Grandma Ida was out of town for the weekend, we went over to hang out with Grandpa John for the afternoon.  Jake was showing how good he is at standing up.

No drawer is safe when the little man is in the kitchen.
