9 Month Check Up!!....

Well.. its really like "almost 10 month check up" because we are only 5 days away from my 10 month birthday day.. so it goes like this.. I am 33 inches and weigh 25.3 pounds!!!... yea you can say I'm a biggen!! So my mommy called my Mame to see where my daddy was at 9+ months... now if you are NOT sitting down.. this may be a good time....... ok... so my Mame doesn't have his 9 month stats but had his stats at 13 months.. and my daddy was 34 inches and 29 pounds!!!! Enough said!!

A random Birthday Party!

Jake's new friend Adam.. He's 1 and Jake is 9 months!!

Tug of war w/ Adam

This Saturday we crashed a birthday party for a 3 year old girl we didn't know!!!... well our friend Jon was letting his neighbor borrow his yard for the party.. their house was being renovated... so Jon asked if we wanted to come and hang out!! At first we were hesitant but we wanted to see our friends Jon and Deneen!!... To our surprise their neighbors were really cool and the party was a lot fun!!! Jake got to mingle w/ new peeps and DOMINATED anyone who got in his way!!! He even got to play in a moon bounce!!.. He's just so big for he's age!! there was a boy at the party named Adam who turned 1 the previous day... we put them side by side and it was just amazing how much bigger Jake was!! Let's hope he gets taller and bigger... we have high hopes of him being an athlete =)

I love tupperware!!!

The 'dude' has been getting around and around and around!!! NONE STOP!!! but with the none stop action he is FINALLY sleeping through the night!!! We never thought this day would ever come but it has and it feels sooooo good =) Anywhoser... he has taken to getting into our cabinets.. although most cabinets are off limits I have left one unlocked w/ plastic tupperware.. he makes a b-line for it everytime!!! Sooo friggen funny and its really cute to see him playing w/ it..

First word and more!!!

So.. he does it!! says his first word!! normally its the traditional "momma" or "dadda".. Oooohhh no not our son.. Jake's first word is "bye-bye"!!! to boot he waves "bye-bye"!!! He is now the bye-bye king!! Bye bye to daddy when he leaves for work, bye-bye to the techs who came to install our tvs, bye-bye to our neighbors.. you get the picture ;)

And just yesterday, while I am trying to straighten up his playroom, Jake stands up on his radio flyer wagon.. and... TAKES OFF!!! Now its good-bye and have a nice day to you mommy!!! He is just in constant motion all the time!! and now all he wants to do is "walk" w/ his wagon!!

Don't mess w/ my cookie!!!

I love cookies!!! enough said.. and so when my freakin' mommy tries to take it away from me not only do I get alittle annoyed.. I give her some 'tude so she knows its makin' me mad!! Can you blame me!! It tastes SOOO GOOD!!

Just another exiciting weekend!!!

It was another busy and exciting weekend at the Slocum household!! by Sunday night Jakey couldn't wait to go to bed... It's been 7 months since we moved into our new home and I had enough of looking at the white walls.. when we first moved painting wasn't on the top of the to do list.. now we've settled in, I wanted to get our home painted.. I called around got a couple of quotes.... almost fell off the chair when I got them!!! just to get our kitchen and family room painted the LOWEST quote was $2000!!!..... you didn't read it wrong.. that's 3 0's following the 2.. $2000!!! Needless to say we weren't going t be paying anyone to paint and we were fortunate enough to get our good friend Jon to volunteer to help.. he painted and built homes throughout college and he knew exactly what to do!! so on Friday he came over, prepped and painted our family room!!! then on Saturday morning we painted our kitchen!! The results are AWESOME!! and very cost efficient.. it colors made our family room and kitchen more warm and inviting!! we've now on our way to paint our entire first floor!! On Sunday John's family came over.. Uncle Josh, Aunt Tina and Mame!! we haven't seen Uncle Josh and Aunt Tina since their wedding in June so it was really nice catching up w/ them!!! On to Jake... he has been an eating machine these days.. although at times his teeth hurt too much that I have to give him baby food...but w/ the large amounts of teeth his got he can eat graduate meals.. his favorite is the beef raviolis!! And now at meal time we have to entertain him any which way we can so he sits still!!! so John has been sword fighting.. well its spoon fighting w/ him so I can feed him ;) its pretty funny!!
