Just some randoms...

I know it's been a while since I updated. Hope you enjoy some random shots from the last couple of weeks. Note Jake's haircut - we got it cut last weekend and he was such a big boy sitting in the chair by himself. As usual, he was a hit with the ladies who fought over who would cut his hair - he was sitting so still unless he lost his hands in the drape!

Brotherly Playtime

Sometimes, just sometimes, Jake & Nick can play together and have a good time without Jake taking Nick down by the throat or Nick stealing Jake's paci or cup or toy. And those times are FABULOUS!

The Trike Saga

So, Jake loves his trike. He just doesn't have enough height to pedal - he needs just a littttle bit more. So, Mommy & Daddy made a trek to Walmart in search of inspiration for pedal heighteners. After all, where else can you go with SO many choices? Someone should really invent such a thing. Matt & I wandered through the toy section, the hardware section, housewares...and I found paint rollers. I hear you laughing - but how perfect!? Matt got 2 pairs - to balance the pedals. How to attach them, you ask? Why duct tape, of course. What with color choices and all! Jake chose black. You can see Daddy & Jake rigging the trike...Jake did a lot of supervising.

As it turns out...still not quite enough. His feet kept falling off the pedals. So, we tried zip ties - no luck. So we tried elastic (good thing Mom took up sewing...). Nothing worked...he really just needs to get the theory of pedaling and then he'll be good to go!
