Uncle Josh and Aunt Tina's Wedding!!!!!!!

This past week was very busy for me and my family!!! And to be honest with you, I've got a cold too :( But it was a amazing and memorable week! It started off when my Grampy and Granny Myra came from the Lake to visit mommy, daddy and myself... we had lots and lots of fun and laughs!!! Then we were off to the Saybrook Point Inn for Uncle Josh and Aunt Tina's wedding festivities!!!! It was so nice to see all my extended family... and of course my Mame was there to give me lots and lots of hugs and kisses ;) The rehearsal dinner to the wedding went off without a hitch and we all had such a great time!!! Aunt Tina looked like a fairy princess and Uncle Josh her prince charming ;) My mommy and daddy had an extra good time because I slept over with Mame the night of the wedding!!! Take a look at some pics to see for yourself!!!!

June 17, 2008 (just a week shy of 8 months!)... the day John Kenneth McLean Slocum II started to CRAWL!!!! The day started as any other day... I fed Jake and was about to enjoy my morning Joe... when he just got up on all fours and started to crawl... I thought it was a fluke so I waited and he did it again.!!!.. so I got our vidoe camera to capture the moments!! Well.. you can take a look for yourselves!!

It Starts....

What I mean.. by it starts is... the eminent totally manic craziness with our son running around like a manimal around the house! A couple of nights ago AT 2 AM!!!, I hear rumblings from the little man's room.. I go in and see him bright eyed with the biggest sh%$ grin on his face and HE IS SITTING UP!! and might I add with his arms dangling over the crib! I really didn't know what to do! I am so happy to see that he hit another milestone but am p.o'd that now I have to have another all nighter with him trying to get him back to asleep... (he finally went to sleep at 3:30) Needless to say by grumpy husband (John is such a bear to wake from sleeping!!) doesn't want him back in his crib so Jake sleeps with us! The very next day, I pull out my tools and go at the crib.. it takes me about 45 minutes to take apart the spring and I lower it to the lowest position! Its so low that we now can't give him kisses at night and me being vertically challenged has a hard time even lying him down to sleep ;) Take a look at how close Jake is to crawling and him sitting up!!!!

Just an Update!!!

Last night while John and I were out to dinner for "date night" we were thinking about how far Jake has come!!! He is growing and changing every day!!! But we are gearing up to one of "those" milestones.. those meaning crawling!!! When we sit him on his butt he can get his right leg in the position but has a hard time with his left.. but he is just weeks away!!! We will make sure to post a video as soon as it happens!!!
