Jake is making progress like crazy this week. We were all playing on our bed in the morning this week and he stood up all on his own…he fell over right away and has been trying constantly since. He’s done with the walker and the jumperoo he would much rather be on the ground or on the move. We just bought the Baby Einstein “Baby Signs” video and he’s already picked up the sign language for “milk”. He’s all about the pursed lips and popping his mouth too. When he eats you can hear him “smack smack smacking” clear across the house. And he’s recently found a great love of getting in the tub with mommy when she’s taking a relaxing bath. Jake just insists on getting in and plays and splashes until he gets all pruney.

We’re very excited to have a court date for Jacob’s adoption finalization. April 17th we’ll be heading to the courthouse to make our family a forver family. April 21st our friends and family are joining us for our first HUGE party in a while. We’re going all out with a weenie roast, big fire, smores, tons and tons of great food (of course I’m cooking up a storm) music, and lots of fun. We’re even closing our lincoln service center in honor of jake’s big day. I’ll be sure to post pictures. Speaking of which, a few from this weekend.
