What's up with Jake these days?

These are just a few of Jake's Favorite things:

Riding around in his big red car indoors or out...he also does his fair share of pushing it around. We tried to put his cabbage patch doll in it and he just took him out and threw him..."this is my car!"
He loves swinging and clapping hands so why not do them at the same time!
His yard stick...what every child needs. He loves carrying it around! Future engineer in the making???
He loves playing at Grandma & Grandpas Yard...he has the big pool, a little pool of his own, a log cabin and a swingset! Can we say SPOILED???


So for those of you who haven't seen us in a while I thought I'd give you an update in the goings ons in the world of Jake. As many of you know Jake is walking around like a pro...running at times, especially when chasing Tiki (the dog) or trying to elude diaper changing time. He loves to scream especially when he wants to get a reaction out of people. He isn't really talking just yet. The occasional "Mama" and a lot of babbling going on but no "real words" as his Dad likes to say. Jake has a temper...many people say he is "too much like his mommy". He is a generally happy little boy who loves to laugh and play and is always up for nonsense but if he doesn't get his way watch out!!
He loves to play "boo!!" with mommy...he actually likes to be scared with a big "boo!" the more mommy makes him jump the harder he laughs! He is just starting to take an interest in other kids. He loves watching them play and has even started to interact with them which is really cute.
That's about it for now....Hope you all are enjoying the blog!!!

Rutgers Day @ the Bronx Zoo

On June 14Th, 2008 we went to the Bronx Zoo for Rutgers Day!
It was excruciatingly hot and humid but Jake had a blast!

Jake & Daddy checking out the groundhogs! Jake's face says it all!

Jake, Daddy & a real live Billy Goat!

Jake got to pet a sheep!!! He was grinning ear to ear!!

He road the bug carousel which he found fun and exciting for the first 2-1/2 trips around and then freaked out and climbed off into mommy's arms!

Jake and Daddy enjoyed their pre-father's day trip to the zoo together!

The Cedar Street Cafe

Jake and Mommy enjoyed breakfast and lunch on the balcony!
Mommy is trying to teach Jake the art of eating off a plate and thought
it would be less messy to do so outdoors since Jake thinks plates are for
flipping food off of onto the floor!

The plate didn't make it through the whole meal! At least he is good at sharing!

He's cute even with his face full of food!

Welcome to the Vick Family Blog

Since so many of you are always asking for new pictures of Jake and how he's doing I decided to create our very own family Blog. Since I have very little time to myself to write all of you individually and send pictures I figured it was a good way to reach out to all of you at once. This is my very first time "blogging" so it may take me a bit to get the hang of it. Hope you all enjoy the chance to keep up to date on the Vick family.
