August 2nd

Here's a few pictures from the last few days. He's found his feet and his new favorite thing is to suck on his toes. Another thing he's started to do is to sit in his bumbo seat next to his toy box and I move a toy close to the edge, he grabs it, throws it on the ground and then goes back for a different toy out of the toy box. As you can see all the toys end up on the floor around him, but hey whatever entertains him right!

Well Jake's almost been gone a week and we're still surviving:) Jake has internet in his room there so he's able to see Cruz at least once a day on the webcam so I think that's helping Jake out a lot:) That webcam is gonna be a life saver for him when he's gone for 6 months in Iraq! I'll put up some videos later today or tomorrow.

Well Cruz had a big belly laugh today but of course I didn't catch it on tape. Here's a few smaller giggles.

July 28th

Well Jake left this morning for California so I'll probably be posting more then usual so he can see plenty of videos and pictures of Cruz while he's away. Here are a few pictures from the weekend and videos of him from today. The first video is his latest thing he does...

July 24th

Hello everyone! Here are a few pictures and a video from the past couple of days. He's eating carrots in the pictures, today he's gonna try green beans. He's been eating really well for us, so far we haven't found anything he doesn't like. The last picture I took on Sunday when I was cleaning out his closet trying to pack up all the clothes that are too small for him. I found this hat that Jake and I loved but it was always too big for him. It's a little bit too small for him now but we still had to take a picture of it:)

So anyways, he's still is rolling over all the time. He won't stay on his back for more then a minute but once he gets over to his stomach he gets so mad because he can't figure out how to roll back over. He's been rolling from his stomach to his back since he was 7 weeks old and now that he can roll from his back to his stomach it's like he just forgot how to roll the other way. I'm sure he'll get it soon, I hope anyways!

He's never really be a pacifier baby but he used to at least take it when we rocked him to sleep, well that all changed this week. He no longer takes the pacifier at any time and he'll no longer let us rock him to sleep. When he gets tired he wants to be laid in his crib so he can curl up on his side and suck his thumb. I'm happy that I won't have to worry about taking a passy away from him eventually but now I have to figure out how I'm gonna get him to stop sucking his thumb at some point.

Jake leaves on Monday for training in California and won't be home till August 15th. My mom is gonna come out for 5 or 6 days while he's gone so that will be nice to have here out here and to help break up the time of him being gone. That's about all that's new with us, until next time...

July 21st

Here's a video from this morning, I don't think it will be long and he'll be crawling. I didn't think Jake would get to see him crawl before he left for Iraq but maybe he will!
