With Jake's first birthday less than a week away I thought that I would list some of my favorite things that he does.

1.  His toothy smile.  When Jake smiles its big!  He's now sporting the three tooth look.

2.  The way he claps when you put in him his high chair. Make sure loves his food.

3.  The way he bops up and down when listening to music.  It's too cute (now if I could just catch it on camera).

4.  The way every time you try and get him to say mama, he says dada instead.

5.  His big blue peepers.  Jake's eyes are usually the first thing that people compliment him on.

6.  His love for playing and exploring.

7.  The way he gets excited when Fred comes around him.

8.  The way he waves bye-bye. Jake just flops that little arm of his around...it's so darling.
