Dear Jake,
It was fun to be back to our regular Friday's together this week. You were off on vacation with your Mom and Dad last week. We did get to see you at the beach at your Aunt Terese and Uncle Dan's house over the weekend. Then you stayed at a cozy cottage with your Mom and Dad. You loved going to the beach every day and the feeling of the sand in between your little toes. I was very happy that your Mom and Dad are keeping our family tradition of having ice cream every day on vacation! Any day that is filled with salt air and ice cream has to be a good one!
Your parents are now in full baby proofing mode trying to keep you out of mischief. We are going to have to be very crafty because you are so unbelievably quick at figuring things out. You are practicing your words nonstop. Your favorite thing to say is; "Ba, ba, ba, ba". We aren't sure what it means but you sure make it sound very official!
Love, Grammy

Dear Jake,
One thing is for sure, you love a party so you sure loved your first 4th of July! You woke up bright and early and went downtown with your Mom and Dad to cheer Poppa Crowley on at the annual road race. Poppa was very proud of the great finish time he had but even more proud to show you off to the crowd. Next you were off to your friends, Brendan and Daniel to see their new home. You looked very envious of Brendan's big boy bed!
The next event was the 4th of July parade. You couldn't believe the marching bands especially as the drums went by. I have a feeling we may be watching you in a band of some sort one day! The rest of your day was filled with ice cream and some beach time and ended with a tired but happy little fellow!
Love,
Grammy

Dear Jake,
You are a man on the move! After weeks of practicing you have mastered crawling and you are going fast. Its like a whole new world on the move. You love seeing a favorite toy or book and being able to get it yourself. Of course this has led you into getting into a bit of trouble at home and your Mom and Dad have had to say,"No Jake" a lot! After crawling for about 1 week you seem to be thinking that crawling just isn't going to be fast enough and you want us to help you practice walking. I am predicting that you will be on 2 feet well before your first birthday!
Love, Grammy
