Inflatable Zone

Jake's playdate at Inflatable Zone in Katy. I think I got more battle wounds then he did...I'm all beat up.

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.


Happy Little Family

Birthday Party

Our Friend Ty turned 1 yesterday and Jake had so much fun at his Fish Themed Birthday Party!! We had so much fun with all our friends...Ty, Emmy Lou and Andy.

First Official Haircut

Jake got his FIRST OFFICIAL HAIRCUT yesterday and let me just tell you, it was an experience. Mom had been trimming his hair every now and then but decided that it was time for a REAL big boy haircut. So we went to Snip-Its, which is a children's salon, thinking he would love it. As you can see in the photos, he was having a blast with all the toys and other kids until it was his turn in the chair. Once again he was the ONLY kid who threw a tantrum. He was NOT having it and wanted out of the chair FAST. We had cartoons, bubbles, candy and juice and nothing seemed to calm him down. The hairstylist was so sweet and patient-God Bless Her! Of course Mommy had a Cha-Chi stashed away for emergencies like this...and it seemed to calm him a little. The last picture is Jake getting his prize and then out the door for lunch. After lunch, we headed home for our nap. Jake must've been worn out...he slept for 4 hours :) Mommy did too!!! :))
