Second Haircut!!

Well, Jake's hair grew faster than we ever thought possible, so he had his second haircut today. Plus he wanted to be a little "cooler" for when we leave for Phoenix (over 110 degrees!) next week. He was great, as always, and loved the sound of the clippers. He also thought the Jeep chair was very similar to his Jeep walker that he has at home! :)

Another BIG Weekend!!

The Lessmans had another busy weekend! We had Jason's sister Rebecca and brother-in-law Wes in town from Grand Junction, CO and then his other sister Rachelle stayed with us too! They got to be there for Jake's first trip to the local rec center pool on Saturday, where Jake loved the water and watching all of the kids splashing around in the pool! Then we all headed up to Windsor to see Jason's parents, and they all watched Jake that night while Jason and I met some friends for the Brad Paisley concert at the Greeley Stampede - great concert! Then on Sunday Jake went to his first birthday part for our neighbor, he made sure the check out all of her new toys!

8 Months Old!!

It's hard to believe, but little Jake is now 8 months old!! He really seems to be growing before our eyes, he weighs just about 20 pounds now. He is honestly just the best baby - up for any new adventure and just loves to look around at everything going around him. He's the best eater, he'll eat any kind of baby food (fruit, veggies, cereal, ect.) and is even starting to feed himself little crackers. No crawling yet, but Mommy is okay with that - not sure we're ready for him to be mobile! :)

Father's Day Weekend

We had a busy Father's Day weekend, but very fun! Two of Jason's high school friends and their families were in town from Nebraska, so we had quite the "crew" together - 8 adults and 6 children under the age of 5! We had some fun dinners and went to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo on Saturday (in CO Springs) - it was Jake's first zoo trip, he loved watching all of the animals & people around him. Then Jason had a great 1st Father's Day with a yummy breakfast, watching the US Open, hanging out w/ Jake in the baby pool, and griling steaks for dinner.

So Grown Up!!

Jake is growing before our eyes, and just getting bigger & more grown up every day. As you will see from the pictures, he now sits up all on his own, takes "big boy" baths, drives our car w/ Jason, swims in his own little pool, and even drives his Jeep walker!! Hard for us to believe that he will be 8 months old in just 10 days!!

Full House

This past week we had Kelly's Mom, Sister, Brother-In-Law, and Nephew stayinging with us, all in town for Jake's baptism. Needless to say it was a full house, but we had a great time! Drew, who is almost 2 years old, was all about the Hummer who our neighbors were very nice to let Drew drive in all his spare time. Some other fun things we did while everyone was in town were visiting the Denver Aquarium, a Coors Brewery VIP tour, a few walks to the local Starbucks, and then of course a lot of "street time" so Drew could drive the car. Everyone left today, so the house is very quiet and we miss them already!

Jake's Baptism

This past Sunday Jacob Paul was baptised at Pax Christi Catholic Church in Highlands Ranch, CO. We had a very nice private ceremony with some special friends and family in attendance, including Jake's godparents Jenny and Mike Johnson (Kelly's sister and brother in law). Jake did great, though he chose that time to really "talk" a lot. After the baptism we had a fun party at our house, where we of course served Boston Market food and Coors beer. :) Thanks to all of those of you who helped us celebrate this special day, it meant a lot to us to have you there - and for those that couldn't make it, we missed you!
