big boy room

Jake's new room is really coming together! His furniture is here. the bed rails are up, now we are just waiting for the closet doors to be finished. pictures to come soon. Now time to work on the nursery:) His days in his crib are officially numbered! I am hoping this is a smooth transition. He loves to show off his new room to everyone and jump on the bed.

on the mend

well sort of...my ankle is doing better but I still have to take it easy and stay off of it as much as possible and let me tell you that is easier said than done with a two year old. So needless to say I have not been taking many pictures lately.

first trip to l&d and er

Friday afternoon I put Jake down for his nap and was doing a few things around the house. I went out in to the garage and the next thing I know I was on the ground. Some how when I went down the one step, I stepped on a pop car and twisted my ankle and fell on concrete. I somehow got myself in to the house and called my OB who sent me to Beaumont. I though I had broken my ankle and there was no way I could drive. My parents came, my mom drove me to the hospital and my dad stayed with Jake. David meet us there. It as crazy to be back in L&D it brought back all the feelings of being in labor with Jake. They took me back right away and hooked me up to the monitors. I was not contracting or bleeding so that was a good sign. I had to be monitored in L&D for four hours to rule out a placenta abruption. Luckily the baby is fine...I was not ready for a 27 week baby. My ankle on the other hand is not. After many xrays later, I have a torn/strained ligament. They could not tell for sure with out a CT scan and they will not do that when you are pregnant. The good thing is that it is not broken and I am already starting to feeling better. Being on crutches is not easy. Jake is having a hard time understanding that I can not pick him up right now. He only wants me... I guess this part is a preview of things to come when the baby here. Tuesday when the bandage comes off I will be able to drive, then I will be in an aircast for while. What a way to start the third trimester.

troy aquatics center

I kept hearing how great this pool is and finally it worked to go check it out, and let me tell you it was fantastic. The entire toddler area was enclosed! They even had a little water slide, but Jake was not in the mood to go down it. I can't wait to take him back.

Sydney's 3rd birthday party

Today was Jake's friend Sydney's 3rd birthday party:) They had a very cool water slide to play on. Of course Jake's favorite part of the day was the cake:) Happy birthday Sydney we had a great time celebrating with you!

a few Jakeisms

When you give him something he likes he wants more, he tell me you more before he even took a bite, he must never have a empty plate

He now asks you to turn off his light at night

He now screams "I do not want that" as loud as he can when things are not going his way

He to be wearing a shirt at all times

Cars have taken over his world, they come in the car with us, they take baths in the tub and outside they get fed breakfast. He even goes to bed with several in his hand. He has named them all and knows exactly which one he wants.

Jake loves to be ticked on his stomach and asks for more

hot, hot, hot

So to beat the heat we headed to the Kensington Sprinkler Park.

more fun at the beach

Finally it was a beach day and what a fun day it was! Jake was getting a little too brave in the water:)

at grandma's and grandpa's house

His new favorite activity to do at my parents house is to feed the fish in the pond. He asks to give them dinner. Then he gets upset when he is out of food to feed them.

splish splash

After playing outside and eating pizza these were two very messy kids. They could have splashed in the big tub all night long. This is the first time Jake was not scared of the jets in the tub.
