Jakey Firsts

As the little tagalong in our family, Jakey has had quite a few first experiences long before his brother and sister ever did.

The first beach visit came at only a few weeks old, tucked in a stroller and sleeping away. A few more trips followed, either on morning walks or afternoons watching Lucie and Ryan boogie board.

Our last beach visit was the first time little toes dipped in the waves. I think the water was a bit too cold for him. He wasn't a big fan. We all liked seeing him in big brother's old rash guard and swim trunks though.

Another of our little guy's recent "firsts" was the first soccer game (of many to come). With Lucie and Ryan on their own teams, we spend a good portion of our Saturdays on the field. Here's our little fan with a proud member of the Forest Green Pirates:

And next, a smiley moment for Jakey trying out his first high chair. He was getting tired of looking up at us from his exersaucer during meals, and is now thrilled to pull right up to the table:

With the first high chair came his first meal. He took one spoonful of oatmeal and looked at us like, "Where has this been all my life?"

Yes, Jake — we know. You love being just like the rest of the family. Just don't grow up too quickly, little man.
