Yep... it's official... we have a crawler. He's now constantly in motion, into everything and keeping Mama and Daddy smiling all the time. We've started baby proofing (outlet covers, cabinet locks, etc.) and will be ordering gates for the stairs soon too. Jake's 6th tooth just popped through today and I'm also very happy to report that he's now saying Mama... yippppeeee! It's still a tough word for him but he's getting better every day. He's been saying Dada for about 2 1/2 months but he's also now saying cat, duck, truck and Grover (his new best friend) and participating with his reading videos like clapping when they show the word "clap" and waving when the word "hi" comes on the screen. Jake has learned to sign for milk so he let's me know when he wants milk now which is so cute. When you ask him what the ceiling fan does he waves in a circular motion because we've told him it goes round and round. Jake is also pulling himself up in his crib and by holding onto his truck as well as the ottoman so he might move on to walking sooner rather than later.
As you'll see below, we took Jake for a walk one evening recently. He LOVES to be outside and he loves cold weather so he was very relaxed and fell fast asleep. He fell so fast asleep that we were able to pick him up out of the stroller, carry him inside and lay him down in his pack 'n play for a nice long nap. Jake normally sleeps very lightly and wakes up immediately when he's moved so we were very surprised.
Jake will be one in just 10 days and we're going to have a little Winnie the Pooh party for him. I promise to post more pictures after his party and possibly more video if he really digs into his on personal smash cupcake.
I'm including lots of new pictures in the post and a few new videos too.

| Wow that walk made me tired. |

| Shoot, I fell asleep before I finished my snack. |
