"Our shelter"


Lake went on his 3rd camping trip this weekend. Even though the weather called for thunderstorms, we decided to go anyway. Instead of trying to use our tent, we rented a screened shelter instead. I'm glad we did, because last night the weather was a little rough. I'm so happy Lake likes to go camping. Since a lot of my childhood summers were spent at Cumberland Mountain State Park; its very special for me to share this with him.

Basketball Star

I just had to post this video of Lake. When I came home for work today, I heard him playing basketball in his playroom so I went to watch him, he hit 7 in a row! I had to run and grab a camera to see if he'd keep playing and I caught him shooting a few. He may be the next Michael Jordan.... Enjoy the show!

New Firsts

I am amazed everyday by the new things Lake is doing. Today, he had two firsts. This morning, I was getting ready for work and Lake said "Mama, poo-poo" I wasn't really sure what he meant by this so I checked his diaper and he was fine. He said it again so I carried him to the bathroom and sat him on the toilet and he did his business right away. I could not believe it. 16 months is a little early for potty training and I know it was probably a one time thing but I was excited anyways. This afternoon he sat at his table and put his puzzle together by all by himself; he is becoming a little boy!

Teachers Fund Run

On Saturday, Lake and Mommy and Daddy participated in 5K run for teachers. For us, it was actually a run/walk. Lake does not enjoy being in his stroller longer than 30 minutes so by the timeit started he was on edge. He did really good the 1st half, but coming back, he screamed the whole way. He was so happy to get out of his stroller. Radio Disney was there playing music so afterwards he had a lot fun dancing and playing with the other kids. Saturday night we went out to eat for a friends birthday. They have a huge sandbox/playground. Lake started to climb inside one of those playhouse things and a liitle girl screamed in his face and said "No boys aloud!" So what did Lake do......he picked up a handfull of sand and threw it at her! I had to tell him no, no we don't throw sand but I was laughing the whole time.

Always makes us laugh...

"Cheese"

"Getting ready for the Super Bowl party"

This first picture of Lake cracks me up! I kept telling him to say "Cheese" and he was making the funniest faces. He is at a really fun stage right now. I love to hear him say new words and try to mimic everything I say. He is growing up so fast. This weekend I was going through his toys and packing up his baby toys and I felt like I was going to cry; I can't believe he is almost16 months old.
