Recent picture:

Jake is pretty much the only thing we take pictures of these days. I really wish we were better at taking pictures of us with him though. Definitely something I’m going to be working on. But here is the most recent picture I’ve taken.

We bought Jake a jumper thinking he would have a blast in it because he’s quite the kicker and he loves standing in our laps. He absolutely loves the lights and sounds and has even started jumping a little. He’s definitely a little short still (notice the pillow he’s standing on).
