14 Months

Jake turned 14 months old today. Wow, where does it go? I never want to look back & say I wish I spent more time with Jake. I always feel like everything is so crazy busy, so yesterday, I took a personal day, to just hang out with Jake. We had such a wonderful time! We read lots of books and played with toys. We also went to the aquarium with Connor & Addie. What a fun day! I feel like he changes more & more each day and is constantly discovering something new. Each day he seems more like a little boy & less like a baby. These moments are flying by!

Playing in the water at the petting exhibit. Needless to say, the animals made sure to stay far away.

More water to play in & more animals to scare
He threw a small screaming fit when I finally made him leave. I knew it was time to leave though because he kept sticking his hand in the water & then licking the water off his hand. Gross!

Connor being brave around the snake

Addie said "no way"!

Amazed by the big shark*

*(Okay... not really amazed. He was actually licking the glass [I know, gross again!!] & a shark just happened to swim by as I took the picture.)

Last weekend was our first weekend in quite a while with no snow or flurries! So we used it to spend some time in the backyard training for the Olympics.

Opening ceremony

He is competing for team Auburn

Training for the bobsled. Look at that hair blowing in the wind!

Sweet blue eyes trying to impress the judges

He also competes for team Alabama! (Yes, I stopped the events halfway through, so he could change shirts. Robbie just rolled his eyes!!)

Nervous, waiting for the judge's score

Yea! Celebrating the win!!

Hugs for mommy & her wind-blown hair

Olympians need their rest too
