| MADE YA LOOK!!! |
Jake has invented yet ANOTHER game to keep himself entertained! I call it the “360* Booty Scoot”. Basically he sits on the slippery wood floor in his fuzzy jammies and scoots around in a circle like he’s on an imaginary Sit-N-Spin. It’s all fun and games until he barfs. I have no pics or video. In lieu of such, I thought you’d enjoy a nice PHAT AZZ. Who doesn’t:)

Cool thing number 1 from today: Jake and I drew our first picture! I was so proud that I brought it home and hung it on the fridge. See the scribbles picture…
Cool thing number 2: If you look just above Jake’s pictures, you’ll see a very colorful magnet. My little sister made that in art class almost 20 years ago! And to the left of that, is a picture of her and I and Wifey at a wedding a few weeks ago. Can you see the semi-related sentimentality here!?
I can hear The Lion King soundtrack, blasting Circle of Life in my head right now!!!

| I think I’m going to cry!;) |
I’m in a hurry…. Thirteen hour work day on 4 hrs sleep…. Jake’s cutting a toofer….All I can say is….
 |
| I promise I will make a mess while being a complete crank… It’s not me, it’s my toofer’s…. |

Today was Daddy’s first day back in training! Coming off a recent ankle injury, the only real exercise I’ve gotten in months is some cycling to get my leg strength back.
And I want to be ready when Jake takes his.

| The real me… |
The sad news: I had to tell the band I couldn’t play anymore. Mama and I have very unusual work schedules. Throw in Jakey boy and you have a gig booking nightmare! Who wants to keep their buddies from making extra cash!? I did the right thing and stepped aside. Wahhh.
The happy news: Mama and I had our first date night we’ve had in a very long time. It was a very elegant evening. First, a very special viewing of Paranormal Activity 3 (my second in two days). Second, 60 cent boneless wings, the Hawk’s game, and beers at Buffalo Wild Wings! 3.5 hours of bliss!
I didn’t lure this woman into marriage based on sense of humor alone! I’m a class act!

Well, Mama wasn’t just patronizing me by saying Jake belted out a “Da-Da” yesterday. He proved himself this morning. Mama J asked him, “Who is that?”, while pointing to me. Jake immediately fired back with “DA-duh”! No questions. He said it. What a smart boy!
Priorities have definitely changed in the last couple of years. Life is evolving. I may not buy the fanciest clothes anymore. I don’t wash the car 3 times a week. Going to the gym hasn’t been my second job like it used to be. And, I may not hit too many clubs or concerts.
Jake was being awful chatty all morning. Mumbling along as we ate breakfast, our usual conversation. I said “uh oh” when his spoon bounced off the ground. He looked at me, mouthing silent words for a moment and then spat out something like uck-oh. Not exact, but close. I actually thought for a second, “he’s going to say his first words today.”
Fast forward a few hours. All three of us were driving over to snap some pictures at the park before we packed away his monkey-boy costume. I was quizzing Jake on his words again, coaxing him to say mama. And as if on cue, he belted out “Ma-muh!” Plain as day. No questions this time. Both of our heads snapped around to look at him as he giggled away. Our proud little monkey.
So, I lost the bet. Mama won. I think she tried to make me feel better by telling me he said “Dada” later on. But I’ll believe that when I hear it. Today’s one for the baby book!!!
This is Jake’s first Halloween. Even though he has no long term memory yet, I used it as an excuse to go big. We blacked out the garage door with landscape cloth and loaded up the place with strobe lights, a fog machine and scary music. The stage was set to scare the shit outta some kids!
We put him in his monkey suit, anticipating droves of trick or treaters. The family came over. The cameras we’re set, and…nothing! No idea why? We didn’t have 20 twick or tweaters this year!!!
