Say Cheese.

 

Trying out the new camera, here is a family shot. 

Busy Day

The day started off slow, with some sleeping...
 
.. then it picked up with some riding on Daddy's shoulders.
 
.. then he decided to show us that he could stand on his own, in his underwear, for about a minute at a time. That was quite cool.
 
and last but certainly not the least, he showed us that he can get onto the coffee table. I'm guessing things will start to get real interesting from here.

Jake turned 1 year old. What a great day. As you can see, he certainly enjoyed his cake.

Saying goodbye to the 8 south mural at CHOP

We are headed home this week. Jake wanted to say goodbye to the broken tile mural with stars and seahorses, down the hall from his room.

All three of us went for a Starbucks run, the first time that Jake has been outside since Dec 5th, more than a month now. Today he turned 11 months old. Had a very happy day, even though he's cutting tooth number 7, the fifth in Philly. He actually cut his second top tooth on Christmas day, just like the song.

We are anxious to get home, as you can only imagine.
