Jake

Jake is now almost seven months old.  He is growing very fast.  At his last checkup, he was just shy of 20lbs, and I am sure past there by now.  He is sitting up with ease and can roll around the floor.  He is trying to pull his knees under him, so I am sure crawling won't be too far off.  Aside for not sleeping well (up three times a night, every night), he is a very happy baby that we are very lucky to have as our son.

Shelli:  where?
Kailey:  the numbers...what is that?
Shelli:  oh, those are the addresses
Kailey:  what?!?
Shelli:  you know, like our address....
Kailey:  no no no, those white things on the houses...what are they?
Shelli:  they are addresses
Kailey:  MOM, stop the car...  [pointing] RIGHT THERE..WHAT IS THAT
Shelli:  Kailey, I am telling you...that is the house's address
Kailey:  Mom, that IS NOT A DRESS...TELL ME WHAT IT IS
Shelli :.....

it was at this moment that Kailey learned that an address is not a dress.
