Can You Believe It? Either Can We!

We can't believe that our little Jake is now a month old! Where has this month gone? It has been such an amazing, wonderful, yet so tiring month! We are finally getting adjusted to the new routine in life and are loving every minute of it! Jake is such a wonderful baby and we are so blessed to have him as ours!
One month stats:
10 lbs (50%) Can you believe he gained 2.5 lbs in one month? Crazy!
22 inches long (75%) He is def. catching up and we think he will end up being tall just like his sissy!
Jake has become much more aware of his surroundings, is starting to coo and caw and loves holding his head up to look at the world around him. He holds onto our hands and has just discovered holding onto my hair! Ouch! He also loves to eat, eat and eat!

This past weekend he went on his first road trip to AZ! Hailee, Jake and I went with my parents to go to my cousin Ali's wedding and reception. Gregg was working all weekend, and we missed him so much!
Riding the golf carts...Hailee insisted on having her baby ride in the back...hopefully we didn't give any old people a heart attack with thinking it was a real baby!After our walk in the 90 degree heat! Yes...she is actually resting! Only lasted for a couple minutes though...then she was back up running around!Jake wearing his big boy clothes! Playing legos!At the zoo in AZ. It was amazing!This was RIGHT above our head! You could stick your fingers and touch it if you really wanted too! (Crazy if I say!)I didn't zoom in at all....the zebra was really this close. The huge rhino!Riding the choo chooOur little JakesterI really wanted to get a picture of Hailee, Jake and Great Grandma and Grandpa, but this is what Hailee gave me....Hailee enjoyed Great Grandma alot. They looked at pictures and sang alot of songs together. It was really sweet.

We stayed at my Grandparents extra house in AZ and while we were there we took many rides on the golf cart, went on a walk at 8:30 am and it was already in the 90's! (I don't know how anyone can live in that state! It's so hot!) And we also went to the zoo which was seriously the best zoo we have ever been too! The animals were so close and we even got to ride a train through some of the animals cages! We had so much fun!
It was a great weekend, even though we all ended up sick! My cousin Ali's reception was also wonderful, but I forgot my camera to take pictures!

I really can't believe your little boy is already one month. Just crazy! Such a handsome little guy. It must be fun having a little boy in the house now. And the trip to AZ looked fun, especially that zoo! How neat! And I am really impressed that you went on a trip with a little baby. I wouldn't be that adventurous, though I wish I could be :)
