Pineapple Upside Down Jake
On February 1st, Jakey and I were playing a little game of Pineapple Upside Down Jake while waiting for the bus. Here comes his third tooth! Pretty soon he’ll look like this…

Jakey’s Top 40 Count Down Encore
Here we go with the top hits of the nation this week on Jakey’s Top 40, the best-selling and most-played songs from San Jose to South San Francisco, from Canada to Mexico. This is Jakey Jakesmom in Mommywood, California. In the next three minutes, we’ll count down the 5 most…
Jakey’s Airplane Batting Average
I’ve been meaning to keep a little running Airplane Report Card for Baby Jake. I’m thinking of it kind of like a batting average. I confess, I’ve never really understood how batting averages are calculated and why they have to be down to the thousands digit (.215?!!), and I’m sure if…
Dr. Google
OK, now I know Dr. Nancy would not approve of this. And it goes against all modern day wisdom: Looking up medical ailments on the internet is the worst thing to do. There’s really nothing freakier, is there? So when I picked Jake up from an overnight at his grandparents…
Gone Baby Gone
Our life is changing…. again. It’s clear that our previously oblivious, spacey child is starting to become accutely aware of his surroundings. Last Tuesday we were playing on the floor and Jake got ahold of my iPhone. He turned around and I kid you not, pointed it at the TV and…
The Best Day of My Life
Today is the best day of my life. Okay, that might be over exaggerating, but it’s definitely up there. The first wash cycle has just finished on our brand new Bosch dishwasher. James came home to Jaimie singing a little song, doing a little dance, and generally putting on a…
Happy Holidays 2009
We had to pare down our card this year to make it fit, so here’s the full version with a few extras that didn’t make it onto the hard copy! We’re list people. If you’ve received any of our past cards, you’ve noticed we like to commemorate the holidays with…
The Baby Jakey, I mean The Baby Jesus
So today is the last day of Jake’s very first Christmas vacation. I’m not sure he relished it as much as he should have… Yes he slept in a couple of times. Yes he enjoyed some Christmas cookies and other indulgences. But really, it didn’t seem like he relaxed at…
HA HA.
As a follow-up to the pine needle incident… That evening Jake was super happy and crawled and played and wrestled with abandon. Yet all of that exercise and happiness did NOT lead to joyous, uninterrupted slumber. It felt like Jakey woke-up every two hours. Crying and sputtering. In the fog…
Taking Candy From a Baby
My son just ate a pine needle. It’s Sunday, January 3rd and our Christmas vacation is coming to an end *sigh*. Fortunately I go back to work for one day and then we’re going to Disneyland! N-e-way, James and I were busy taking down the tree. The teeny little tabletop…
