OOMPA LOOMPA!

Marissa performed in her school play again this year. It was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. She was one of the Oompa Loompas. She had 2 speaking parts and the only Oompa Loompa to have a solo.

Oompa Loompas dancing!

"It's the Mother and the Father!!"

(blaming the parents for Veruca Salt's behavior).

Marissa's Solo!

End of their last song! They are kinda scary lookin...huh??? They were cute litte dancers though!!

7 MONTHS ALREADY!!

This little baby just got his 4th haircut!

These pictures are before his 4th HAIRCUT!!

I had to throw this picture in, cuz jake likes to hold his pacifier like this these days, since he is getting teeth! :)

Jake...After his haircut!

Don't ask what is going on with his mouth, by the end of the day he gets a red rash around his mouth, i don't know if its because of teething and drooling or baby food!

JAKE AT 7 MONTHS:

He has 2 bottom teeth now

Jake has had 4 haircuts.

He weighs in around 25 pounds...he is huge....and who care about the bottle or

baby food, he likes when his daddy gives him the real stuff!

He is still soo close to crawling. Gets really frustrated, and holds him self up on his hands and toes, but usually goes backwards.

This kid still DOES NOT sleep well, so lets all pray that ends soon.

Jake yells LOUD CONSTANTLY!!! It wears me out!

He smiles big for ANYONE and EVERYONE he sees. If they only knew what a monster he is at home.

He is as happy as can be if he is on someones hip walking around.

He LOVES to go outside, and will yell his head off if the kids or daddy go out, and he doesn't get to go!

His spitting up is getting a little better, its not as often, but when it comes, it comes big!

He loves to chew on everything, lately he'll go grab the kids shoes...GROSS, i know, so we have learned to put those away!

lets get this kid to sleep, and he would be perfect!! even though i'm completely exhausted...i'll keep em!

HANDS AND KNEES!!!

Jake has been getting up on his hands and knees this week, but usually moves backwards!

Still trying....

"I'm so frustrated!!!" says Jake

"Fine...I'll just do some push-ups" up.....down...up...down. My buff baby!

He is crossing his feet for this push-up, to make it a harder work-out! HA HA!

JAKE AT 6 MONTHS

Jake turned 6 months on the 12th.

This kid just wants to get up and go!!

Jake and Kallie love each other!

Jake's 6 month Stats:

He is 20 pounds 9 ounces...i think he lost some weight...he just had his first cold, and it was a bad one. i weighed him before his cold, and he was around 24 pounds.

He is 27 1/2 inches long.

He just had his 6 months shots today, and didn't cry very long at all!! :)

He still loves to kick his legs, whether he is in the bath or just hanging out on the floor, they are ALWAYS moving.

He rolls around everywhere, and sometimes pushes up with straight arms, and gets on his knees.

He still spits up quite a bit, which is a pain in the nite.

He can sit up for longer periods of time, but still falls over.

He got his FIRST TOOTH! Bottom left tooth, so its really cute!!! He was my earliest child to get a tooth.

He pretty much likes every baby food he has tried. Going to start to feed him more food, so maybe he'll spit up less.

Just took his first trip to Disneyland. He did great, even though he was soooo sick!

Now he says DA DA all the time...no more MA MA! :(

He loves to go outside and be in the fresh air.

He loves to look at everything, but still doesn't like looking anyone in the face.

He has had 3 haircuts, and is ready for a 4th.

He wears a lot of 12 month clothes now...Big Kid!

Jake Loves to laugh, and is really ticklish!!!

WE LOVE THIS KID!

DISNEYLAND!!

Jake turned 6 months our first day at Disneyland. He has a really bad cold, but he was still so good!

Grandpa and Grandma came to visit and went to Disneyland with us. Here is Parker/Grandpa and Kallie/Grandma in the bumper cars.

Marissa and Parker on the little roller coaster.

Kids had so much fun, they went on ALL the big rides, which i don't have pictured. Even Kallie...everything she was tall enough for, she went on....Parker was more scared then her sometimes.

The only one that scared all 3 kids was the tower of terror....i didn't even get a chance to go on that, but heard it was really scary with the ghosts, and the drops. poor kids, they all came out with tears in their eyes!

We had sooo much fun...we didn't tell the kids where we were going until we walked out the motel room the morning of...they were shocked!!!! :)
