Here is Jake holding his little brother for the first time.  He was sooooo excited to finally do it.  All was great for a bit, but then Cole finally had enough.



Jake didn't want Cole to have all the fun in the vibrating chair. 


This is what maternity leave looks like.




Jake had a fun time last Saturday playing at the park with his neighborhood pals, Ayla and Dom.

Jake watching videos of trash trucks during dinner.

Cole's first nap in his crib.


Jake can't get enough of his little brother.  He especially loves to tickle is feet. 



Jake got a cool new monster truck for the bath from our neighbor Judy.  As you can see, all other toys in the bath took a back seat.

Ryan and Drew were looking on as Jake navigated the icebergs in the kids play area.



Jake just couldn't get enough of the swing.

Jake had a great time having Ryan and Drew take turns pushing him on the swing at the zoo.

The first family unit trip to the zoo.  It sounded good on paper, but it ended up with mommy breastfeeding half the time and Jake scared of just about every animal he saw - especially the reeeeally loud monkeys.   



Jake out on the town having some pizza and spaghetti.




Ryan, Drew and Jake having some fun playing wiffle ball on the neighborhood open space.
Ryan, Drew and Jake having a snack and watching some TV.


Ryan and Drew were teaching Jake how to fill his shopping cart up with balls then knock it over.



Jake and Cole's cousins Ryan and Drew came to visit last week.  Jake got to have a lot of fun play time with some other Peters boys.

Grandpa Bob rolled back into town to pick up Grandma Kathy.  Here he is getting some Cole time and watching some trash truck videos with Jake.

Here is the family unit getting ready for bed, however, only one of us gets to sleep through the night these days. 

When ran into Jake's daycare pal Olivia when we went to the park at Blackie's Pasture last weekend.  They looked surprised to see each other away from daycare, but had fun playing together.
Grandma Ida getting some Cole time. 


Cole had his second doctor appointment when he turned 3 weeks.  He check out great and is growing like a weed.  He's already 10 lbs 6 ounces.  Yay for Mama's milk!
