The boy




Well I was going to post some photos from Jake's birthday but I ran across this photo of him sleeping on the stairs and it made me laugh. Since Christmas break he has been fighting us at bedtime. Well he has been found at the top of the stairs or in this case about half way down, and has almost been stepped on a few times when someone did not turn on the stairs light.

He was allowed to open 1 present the day before his birthday and then he opened a few more presents at the house before we headed to the mall. The one he opened on Sunday, he said but that's not what I wanted when he opened a Planet Hero guy. We had just bought one for his friend's birthday so we thought he would enjoy this one. Well he didn't like him at first but later watched the video that came with it and was liking his new hero.



On Monday since most of his cousin's were out of school and so was he, we decided to take them to Inflatable Wonderland for his actual birthday. We will be celebrating with cake and such this weekend. Poor thing had 4 shots and so he was limping and saying he couldn't walk and then once we got inside he ran non-stop until we left. He was definitely feeling it when we went to Serrano's for dinner afterwards. They had a good time and it's always fun playing with their cousins. So he's a little guy but we were a little disappointed when the doctor told his nurse based on his growth rate, he expects him to be 5 ft 6 and 125 lbs as an adult. Now John had a late growth spurt and I know I'm short but I'm still hopeful that the Drs prediction will be way off. Well I know the weight has to be off because neither John's family or my family have too many people in that weight range.
