Baby Doran

We just got back from visiting with Angela, Charlie & Baby Doran Joshua Pooley in Santa Rosa.

Isn't he so precious? Handsome like daddy.

Born 10/28 at 3:20pm

8lbs 9oz

All are doing great. Angela is a rock star, and is gonna be such an awesome mommy (she already is). He hardly made a peep while we were there, a good baby :)

I don't have any 'approved' pics of Angela with Baby Doran, so here's one with me & one of proud Daddy Charlie.

Great job you two, he's definitely a cutie! I'm so excited for our little guys to play together, and can't wait for you to get peed on ;)

Anyone Wanna Go Swimming?

Yea, I thought not. This is what happens when you inherit a piece of you-know-what pool. I was really wanting to get Jake in & start him swimmin, but I'm not fully convinced there isn't an alligator or something else living in there. So until next summer :( Maybe then we can have a pool party. I haven't forgot about you Melanie!

10 Months

Already 10 months old (tomorrow) and tearing down the house. At his doctors appointment a couple weeks ago he was 20 pounds & 28 inches. He's gettin' big! He's started to figure out he can kinda walk, but still would rather crawl. He already pulls himself up to everything, so I guess it doesn't matter much to me. He's got 4 teeth with one more starting to poke through, and he's already talking back & throwing tantrums. He's a very inconsistant sleeper, some nights he sleeps for hours, others just a couple before the crying starts, and by the morning has found his way to bed with me. He's a good eater & eats just about anything I give him. Lets hope it stays that way. Doctor says he's healthy & smart, the kind of kid that deserves a little sister. His words, not mine! But I must agree :) I need a good nights sleep first.

Here's Jake walking

Jake's First Friend

He's been kind of interested in babies when we go out, so we brought him home one. I think he likes him. He crawled right up to him & kept looking & touching. Poor Jake, looks like he needs a real friend!

I Have an Awesome Neighbor

Cause she brings us these...

They're cupcakes! And mighty tasty.

Jake was tryin to get one, but he knows better. This lady is so cool, she makes us cookies & made Jake a little basket full of cool stuff when he was born. I love living next to nice people like that :)

My Offensive Boobie Boy

It was kind of a bummer when I washed this Khristie because the pacifier faded! Oh well, it's still cute & so funny. I love seeing the reaction from people when they see him in these shirts.

This is one of my faves. We were watching the Miss USA pageant (yay Miss CA!) last night & while I was nursing him, he kept turning his head to see the swimsuit contest. Apparently girls in bikini's are more important than milk.

I have a video but it's too long & boring to post, but Jake is pulling himself up now. He likes to crawl to his toy box and pull up to see what's in it, he picks up what he wants & sits back down to play. It's so cute. This is him crawling up onto the fire place. I wonder how long it's gonna take before there's blood involved with this.
Does anyone know how I can edit a video I took? I just want to stop it after so long...

Memorial Day Weekend

We spent another Memorial Day weekend in Santa Rosa, visiting Angela & her hubby Charlie. Looks as though this might be turning into a tradition. Although traveling this weekend isn't the greatest, so we'll see.
The weather was so wonderful, except on Saturday when we went to the beach. It was raining. So Jake's first official trip resulted in just a picture from the car. I'm guessing he'd have wanted it that way.

He slept right through it, with his Sophie giraffe.

The girls got to spend some time together while the guys played with gadgets, discussed BMW's, and whatever else guy's do.
Angela got some quality Jake time in, to prepare for her little boy due the end of October! Can't wait for him to have a little boy cousin to play with.

This is me on the left (I almost couldn't tell for a minute).
Mario fell in love with Charlie's car. Who wouldn't, right?
Here's a futuristic family picture of the Pooley family. Get ready guys, this is gonna be you a year from now!
I don't think many of the family has had a chance to meet Charlie, or spend time with them as a couple, but they are so awesome together. They compliment each other so well, they're just the cutest. It's so nice to have another couple to do things with, especially who have patience for a 6 month old. I love you guys & I'm so excited for your little arrival in a few months. You'll both make awesome parents.
