Yesterday, we met some friends at the park. It was a good way to get some fresh air and tire everyone out before lunch and nap time! We met our neighbors who have a daughter that is Megan's age, a daughter that is Jake's age and a 2 month old daughter. Well, Megan ditched Jake immediately when the girls showed up. Poor Jake was left to fend for himself. I did, however, get him to take 4 steps yesterday. Then, he got so mad (because I kept backing up and not giving him my hand) that he threw himself to the ground. Very dramatic. I'm sure he'll be running soon.

Busy Body
Ah, Jake. This guy really keeps me on my toes. One day, I got home from work and went upstairs to change my clothes. Megan and Jake were with me and they both went in to their bathroom. Usually Jake just likes to throw the bath toys into the tub. Well, on this particular day, Megan was climbing into the tub (no water) and saying, "c'mon Jake". He climbed over and landed on his head.
Prior to that, he was riding this little scooter through the house and his back wheel caught the rug. He toppled over on to his face, but luckily missed the corner of the fireplace by a hair. I picked him up to hug him (he was crying pretty hard) and when I looked down, I had blood on my shoulder. He had split his lip and gum and had a slight bloody nose. He bounced back quickly.
Now, in this photo, he's decided to open up the drawer and take everything out. I didn't mind too much - he was having fun and not getting into much trouble (other than the occasional pinching of the fingers in the drawer).
These days, I have to close the door to the basement and gate the stairs that lead upstairs. He just learned how to go down a couple of stairs backwards, but I don't trust a whole staircase in front of him. This boy is gonna give me a heart attack with all of his stunts.

Birthday fun!
Megan's 3rd birthday was last Saturday. We had a pizza party for our family. Here's Megan with her cousins Lili and Madison. Megan chose pizza because that's her favorite -- well, either that or peanut butter and jelly. She's eaten pb&j for lunch and dinner for the last two days.
She had a great time playing with her cousins and she got lots of nice gifts -- art supplies, a Barbie car, cool clothes (she is a fashionista, you know), dress up supplies (a necessity for a fancy girl), a play grill, and a keyboard and a fishing rod. Darin taught her how to cast the fishing pole after everyone left and she is a natural. After her second try, she caught right on and could cast and reel with the best of 'em. Looks like she's got a future of fishing at the lake with her dad!!
Tonight, I read her "Kitten's First Full Moon" at bedtime and she said "Can we get a kitten when it's my birthday again?" Oh boy....if she only knew how allergic I was - I'd have to move out!!
