Jake gets baptized

Jake got baptized on Saturday. He slept through most of the ceremony and only let out a little whimper when the water was poured over his head. His god parents are Devon (Erik’s sister) and Pat (Erik and my college friend). Jake is a lucky boy to have these two people in his life.



On Sunday we were lucky to have a visit from the Blanco family just after all our house guesses that were here for the baptism cleared out. Jake and Vanessa got to meet for the first time. They had a good time checking each other out. At one point Vanessa was holding Jake’s hand (so cute and I hope it was captured by Juan). While the Blanco family was here the Manahan family stopped by while they were on their walk. All the dads were holding the kids. Jake was lucky little guy two of the cutest girls around here together. Jake already has a lot of “girl friends”.





One of Jake’s new favorite things to do is to suck on his hands. Sometimes he sticks his hand in his mouth so far that he makes himself gag.
