Jake was super excited to dress up and partake in his first Halloween today. (Well, his parents were, and he seemed to be ok with it too). Jake was dressed as Yoda, the great Jedi Master, and willed himself into a candy bath. The costume lasted all of about 10 minutes before the great master started voicing his great displeasure. It was a blast though, and the neighborhood kids and parents enjoyed saying hello.

Jake was super excited to take his first trip to the Zoo. We got some memberships a few weeks ago, but Kristen said we had to all go together for his first trip… or else!  🙂

We finally got a free day on Saturday October 30 and joined the crowd of costumed kids. Jake did really well as his mommy carried him around to see the animals. Some of his favorites were the Giraffe, Elephants, Monkeys and of course the CHEETAH! Seriously, the Cheetah show was pretty amazing. They actually let them run… just breath taking to see in person.

We were so excited to have Emily join us for the day. Jake loves his Aunt Em! She is taking classes at the Zoo now, so we got lots of great facts and info on the animals. She also knew her way around which was a big bonus.

I finally got to use my new camera lens… hope you enjoy the pics!

Big day today for Jake! For dinner tonight he had his first taste of REAL FOOD! Very exciting for him and his parents. He did well in the beginning and then started to wonder… “What exactly is this stuff?” We got a system down after a while. Daddy made some weird noises, which made him smile and then the spoon went it. Seen enough, the whole bowl was gone and he topped it off with some bottle. A great start!
