...Take me out to the Ball Game!

Our little family was able to go to the Texas Rangers baseball game!  This was Melissa's and Jake's first Major League Baseball game and my second. (My first was with my Daddy-O at the Angels when I was just a wee lad!)  I was so excited to take my son to his first baseball game. 

They played some crazy team from Canada...lol!

"Dad...Are those ants down there on the field?"

Opening Pitch...

"Mom is excited that crazy Canadian team won, grrr!" 

 At least there was cool fireworks after the game... and Jake loved every minute of them!

Jake at 8 months and random June moments

Here are some random photos of Jake through the month of June. 

Standing a little on his own.  

 Ready for church! Mom had to hold his hand down  to show off his adorable smile! 

"Haha, Mom! I got a white shirt on!...and I'm in the grass... 

Playing with the inner tube out of the pool is just as fun! 

Jake's first time swimming...

Jake likes to swim at our apartment complex pool. 

Nature Walk!

We found a great new place that we love to go walking only a few miles from our place.  It's called Oak Point Nature Reserve.  My brothers family and us had a picnic and then a nature walk.  

Jake had lots of fun laughing and playing with his cousins! 

Happy First Mother's Day!

Brandon had to work that day.  But when he came home, he took Jake into the other room.  He then came back into the room and both he and Jake each had a bouquet of flowers for me! 

The two bouquets looked great together!

It was a great Mother's Day!  I am so lucky to be Jake's mom.  

He is such a wonderful boy and a great joy in my life!

Jake is 7 Months!

Jake turned 7 months on May 11.  At this stage he is sitting on his own and starting to scoot around. He just needs to learn to move is arms in crawl motion and he will be all over the place.  For now, he will just lay back and roll around to where he wants to go.  He is also starting to have some teeth come in on the bottom. 

Jake got a high chair seat since he is now eating lots of fruits and veggies. He is really eating like a rockstar! 

...and he smacks his lips when he gets the good stuff... 

...and he found that the box his high chair came in to be great fun! 

Here is a video of Jake at the zoo.

Zoo Trip...

Saturday we went to to the zoo. We actually have two zoo's here...one in Dallas and one in Fort Worth. We heard that the Fort Worth Zoo is better than Dallas Zoo, so off to the Fort Worth Zoo we went.  

We found that this zoo is really pretty cool!  Easy to navigate and lots of animals to see with fun exhibits. One exhibit we liked a lot is the tigers. They had a white tiger and two malayan tigers. The white tiger was really beautiful! 

Jake loved watching the animals. At times we had to keep Jake from jumping in to join in the fun...

Watch out Jake! 

Of course, Jake loved the elephants just like his mommy does...

I personally like the big cats.  I think Jake agrees! Sorry, Mom!

Overall, the day was fun and look forward to future zoo trips.  If you would like to see more pictures of our trip, click on the link below.
