Hitting Our Stride

We're all starting to get used to each other here in the Vileation Nation. Luther has stopped howling when Jake cries, Amy has stopped crying when Jake cries, and Kevin has stopped wiping Amy and Jake's tears every two hours. We're calling that progress.

Jake is a superstar. He can lift his neck, he can roll over from his tummy, he can make eye contact, and he is always guessed to be a boy by people when we're out in public. As a nod to the Olympics, there are only two events left in which our JD needs to achieve gold. Those events are sleeping through the night and smiling at his parents. We'll let you know when those hurdles are overcome (ha ha, another Olympic reference).

It should also be noted that Jacob made a trip to Pennsylvania to meet Great Nana and the extended Bowser family. We had a great time and he's already begging to go back! Check out the four generations in the first picture below. The second picture is Grandma and Grandpa entertaining Jake (and Luther). The third picture is 4 Bowser siblings! Uncle Rod, Aunt Helen, Aunt Mary and Great Nana! And finally, the last picture is Jake meeting Great Nana for the first time. Such a wonderful occasion!

Tomorrow Jake is attending the birthday party of his soon-to-be-friend, Kayla. She's turning one and we hope that she'll coach Jake on those events of sleeping and smiling. Stay tuned!
