Jake's words...

Jake is growing up so fast and talking up a storm. He says so many cute things that I can't keep track so I decided to post the cutest so I won't forget....and to give everyone a laugh. Here are a few of his daily Jakeism's with translation (if needed):

This conversation with Jake took place about 6 months ago but is still one of my favorites:
Mommy: "Jake, did you go PooPoo?"
Jake: "NNOOOO!"
Mommy: "Are you lyin'?"
Jake: (with arm stretched out and hand in the shape of a claw) "ROOAARRRR?" (this was right around the time he was learning animal sounds :))

I know it's a little early but we are starting to introduce Jake to the potty...explaining what it is and what it does and what goes in it. So the other day I had the opportunity to show Jake that his poopie goes in the potty....

Mommy: "Jake, say bye-bye poopie"

Jake: (as he is waving to his poopie) "Bye-bye poopie...uve you" and then he blows kisses :)

"I do it" (he is very independent)

"I Sorry...hug" (with arms out waiting for a hug)

"Fren Fry...peeaaasse" (says this everytime I go through a drivethru...fast food, bank, pharmacy...doesn't matter he wants a french fry)

"Money, kit that" - Bentlee, Quit that (shaking his finger at him, poor Bentlee gets blamed for everything)

"Tway, it up" - Trey, get up (he starting calling his daddy Tway and tells him to get up when he's sleeping)

"Hold u" (with arms reaching out to be held)

and my all time favorite.....

"Uve you, Mommy!!!"

There are many, many more and I will post as I remember them.

James Miller Leslie

He's here and he's PERFECT...all 10lbs 5ozs of him!! That's right...he's a big boy. Trey and I are so excited that we are finally an Aunt and Uncle for the very first time and that Jake has a little cousin. We cannot wait for these two little boys to grow up together and create a wonderful friendship.
