Jake & Taylor


Jake is such a sweet older brother! He is always giving "T" kisses and loving her! It is enough to melt Mommy's heart!!!
He will do things like throw his ball or catch it and look over to where Taylor is and say "Look T" and I even caught him talking to her when we went for a walk in the stroller...he was babbling about the beach and boats and rocks in the sand as we walked along the boardwalk and I kept hearing him say....T blah blah blah and pointing to things as he leaned over to her side of the stroller. It was too cute. Unfortunately Taylor was sleeping so she missed out on the lessons of her older brother!


Hitting Age 2 he has become quite the little man! Here he is sporting his shades before going out to play with his water table!


Jake loves when he gets to "hold" Taylor and she seems to enjoy sitting with her brother as well!
This duo is quite a handful both wanting Mommy's attention ALL the time but when you are this cute how can Mommy say no?!

Let's not forget Taylor Marie!


Taylor may have slept through the park but while her big brother napped she played on her mat kicking and swatting at the toys and smiling for Mommy!
She is getting so big and really smiles a lot now! She loves kicking her legs and trying to reach for toys though she hasn't the control to do so yet its lots of fun to try!

A Day at the Park


On June 30th, Aunt Chickie, Connor, Jake, Taylor and I headed to the park in Bayonne so Connor and Jake could get in some cousin bonding time! The fun started on the swings! Jake loved Connor pushing him really high!


Jake held on tight while Connor gave him some big pushes!


Then it was on to the slide!!! What's more fun than sliding down the twisty slide with your big cousin?!


It's hard to say who was having more fun...Jake or Connor? hahaha


Then it was on to the sprinklers! "Whoa that was cold!"


Jake wanted everyone in on the action!


That Aunt Chickie...she tricked him walking around the outside of the sprinklers so she didn't get wet!


Connor drinking sprinkler water...Yuck!


Jake was just amazed by the water falling down. He was a bit intimidated at first and probably a bit frozen by the icy cold water but he was loving it a few minutes in!


It's like rain but with the sun shining! He ran around squealing with joy. Ah the joys of the simple things in life!!!!




And of course there was a need to stop and play in the puddles!


How cute...he's like Connor's mini me!



"Run Connor Run!" Connor had his hands full trying to keep up with his little cuz!


Jake with blue lips and shaking from being so chilled had to be bribed away from the sprinklers! Connor pulled out every stop in the book to try to convince the little guy that the water was just too cold to keep playing in! haha


So the little energizer bunny got his big cuz to play ball with him in the grass!


He hasn't yet mastered the hand eye coordination required to play ball but he did manage to hit the ball at least once!


Coach Connor did his best to show the little guy how to swing the bat.

Where was Taylor during all this? She was fast asleep in her stroller! Boy did she miss out on a fun day! Jake was so wiped out by the time we were leaving he walked half way to the car and decided he was just too tired to make it the rest of the way! Aunt Chick had to carry him! There's nothing better than a fun day at the park with your cousin!
