Today I recieved the Blog book in the mail. It is so interesting to look back at our journey together. And, now it is in hard copy for him to read when he is older. I am very pleased with how it looks and how easy it was to complete.As I look back through the pages, I am amazed at all of the living we have crammed into our eight months together. Here is a list of the more exciting experiences we have shared with Jake;
- airplane ride home from Ethiopia
- two trips to the ocean
- boat ride in the ocean with a storm that caused hail and rocky seas
- two trips to Vermont (with one attempt at skiing for him)
- two train rides (Philadelphia and the Strasburg Railroad)
- two trips to Dutch Wonderland
- Museum of Natural History in DC
- tent camping
- trip to the Finger Lakes in NY with a water park(our trip later this week)
One of my friends, Claudia, laughs as she watches the journey, and wonders how we will top these events. I didn't realize we were quite so busy. Through all of this, Jake has continued to love new things and learn from them. Also, he is more trusting of us and better behaved.
Jake looks so much older and more mature in this picture. I can't believe it's been 8 months already! He's grown in many ways in those 8 months. Keep working on those colors! :)
