This is Jake tonight in Cowboy mode. He was inspired to "Giddy'up!" through the living room by his new cowboy hat from my friend Wendy's mother. While in San Antonio, she bought him the hat and Baby Annie the cutest onesie with cowboy boots on it, decorated with the American flag. That's a terrible description of it, so you'll just have to wait to see a picture of her in it next 4th of July. :)
Today was my Baby Shower! I mean...Annie's baby shower... Put on by my friend Leslie (who also did Jake's shower before he was born) and my neighbor Mary, it included several close friends, neighbors, and family members. I'm so grateful and so overwhelmed by everything I received. I mean...everything Annie received... I have many thank you's to write and as much energy as a slug tonight. Looks like the thank yous might have to wait til tomorrow.
One gift that has gotten Jake's attention (other than his hat, his videos, and his Gertie ball, all from Wendy) is the "infant care" set (which includes a thermometer, nail clippers, etc). For some reason, he jumped right into that. We took each item out to talk about what it did for the baby, stopping occasionally to try it on him (he gets to keep one of the nail files). When we got to the aspirator (you know, the big bulb thing), I explained that since babies can't learn to blow their noses yet, you use that to "suck the snot out." (Technical jargon only in this house.) Jake's jaw dropped. He crinkled his nose. And he said, "Oh. My. God." Then ran out of the room to explain it to Ike.
I can't tell if it was disgust or admiration for the thing, but the aspirator certainly made an impression. :)

That's the cutest darn cowboy I've ever seen! Oh, and you might want to watch Jake with that aspirator because Caila had a huge fascination with trying to use it on Emi. But of course she was only like 2, so that was definitely NOT a good idea.
