It's amazing how much they change week by week at this age. And then to look back on the progress he'll make over a year--it's incredible.

Jake is so cute. How fun for you guys to be in Colorado...it should be a white christmas. We have had snow for the last three days and it is beautiful outside. Did you see that Jill and Sherri got blogs. You can get there by using my blog links. Their little ones are adorable.
