Just Because

Although he's a really fun and interesting little guy, sometimes Jake isn't doing anything at all, except being cute.

Witness Jake waking up:



I wish I looked that good in the morning!

Here's an endearingly goofy smile:

I wish they made these for grown-ups.

On a baby, a bad hair day is just totally awesome:



A mad scientist in the making!

Momma could go on and on, but Jake is SO over it.


(I have a feeling that in about thirteen years I'm going to see that look a LOT.)

Going Bananas

Jake continues to grow big and strong - his pediatrician declared him "exceptionnel" at our last visit - and so the time has come to introduce him to the wide world of solid foods.

He was a bit skeptical at first.


"Mom, that does not look like a bottle."



"What is this spoon?"



"Interesting..."



"Okay..."



"I'm starting to get it now..."



"Mmmm, I find it rather full-bodied, with an excellent finish."



"I did good, didn't I?"

Yes, you did. Bon appétit, le bébé!

What could he be militating for?


Liberté?

Egalité?

Fraternité?


Pacifierité!


Phew! That was a close one.
