Brown Update

It's been a while since we've posted. Life with a 10 month old is always busy so I don't get very much time to sit at the computer. Sorry! I will try my best to do better!

Here is a quick update on what has happened with us since our last post:

I haven't posted anything about being pregnant, but most of you know anyway. In late October, Jason and I were shocked to find out that baby #2 was on the way. While it took me a while to get used to the idea, Jason was excited from the get-go. I guess that's another reason we haven't posted in a while, mommy is tired all of the time!

Anyway, we found out last week that we are having a GIRL! We were both thrilled and I know Jake will be a wonderful big brother to his little sister. We don't have a name picked out yet, but she will be here sometime around our anniversary in June. What an awesome present that will be!

I know that most of you check this to find out the latest with Jake. So here it is... He is a MONSTER! Not really, but he is into everything! He is crawling very fast and cruising around holding on to couches, tables, hands, legs, anything he can get his hands on. He has taken some small steps when he forgets to hold on, but we are still waiting for that "first step moment." Right now, he is just content to drop and crawl if he sees something he wants.

Jake went for a magazine photo shoot last week. He modeled baby swimwear and he was absolutely adorable! Hopefully, his picture will appear in the May issue. If so, I'll be glad to get you all an autographed copy for your coffee tables. (Can you tell that I'm a proud mom?)

And finally, because I'm not that delusional, I know that you all check this page for the latest pictures of Jake. We've been so busy lately that we've forgotten to snap pictures. Aunt Fabby got a new camera for Christmas so I've been relying on her to get the good ones. But anyway, here is a quick cute one of Jake. Hope you enjoy!

Racing to Jake's Second Birthday!

Image
Rev your Engines and Shift into Gear... Jake's Second Birthday is almost here! We celebrated Jake's birthday a few weeks early this year because of Jason's work schedule. His official birthday isn't until March 29, but extra partying never hurts anyone! We also combined his party with a special surprise for Nanna Nette's big 6-0 party. Jake had a blast celebrating with all of his favorite people. Jake found his gifts before the party even started. He was riding his new tricycle from Nana and Papa before all of the party guests arrived. Nanna Nette was surprised to find out that she had helped plan her own party! Cousin Alex helping Jake open his presents Jake loves his laptop. He feels like such a big boy! Claire is on the move! She loved all of the attention she got during Jake's party.

Babyland General

On a recent trip to visit the some of the grandmothers, we took the kids to Babyland General. While they aren't mature enough to adopt their own babies yet, they enjoyed all of the babies at the nursery. I expect that we will be going back to adopt when they get a little older. They had a blast! Claire really liked the ones with big hair. I think the school bus was Jake's favorite part. He wanted to get on and ride!

Jake and Nanny Shewbert

Image
Nanny Shewbert , my great-grandmother, is 98 or 99 years old. (She says she is 98, but the family Bible says 99.) She lived with us some when I was a child to take care of Allyson and me so that Mom could work. Because of this, she and I have always been very close. In fact, I like to joke with my cousins that I'm her favorite. So when Jake came along, I wanted him to be around Nanny Shewbert as often as possible. She lives in Helen, so we don't see her (or the rest of our mountain family) often enough. Jake is incredibly blessed to have 1 great-great- grandmother, 3 great-grandmothers, and a great-grandfather to all welcome him in to the world. For Labor Day weekend, Nanny Nette and I decided to take advantage of the long weekend and get up to see the family. The Nannies felt like getting out so the 5 of us piled in the car to go visit family that we never get to see, do a little tourist watching in Helen, and made quick stop at Dairy Queen. During our 3 h...
