Jakey --3 years old

Jacob is 3 now. He is our little buddy. He loves to play with Playdoh, watch movies and play with his cars. He sometimes sleeps with his George Monkey or his superhero cape. He really likes his cape because he can fly in it. He was inspired to ask for a cape because his friend Jasper sported one at Jakey's birthday party.

He loves to ride on trains, go on walks with mom and dad, ride in the bike trailer, dogs and cats, go to parties, eat lollipops, sing Deep and Wide, read Berenstein Bears books, watch Bug's Life and Cars, listen to Sesame Street songs in the car and go swimming in the wading pool with dad.

He has recently started to wear underwear. We've had a few accidents, but none while we were out. He has managed to go to the bathroom pretty well in public restrooms, but he seems to forget about it while we are at home.

He really wants 3 baby brothers like his friend Z., and he wants a dog.

Friends

Here we are visiting some old friends. Jakey got to play in their amazing treehouse, and he got to watch Curious George all in the same day.

These are some of his last moments with the Sponge Bob wall. He had a great time throwing beanbags at it for days after his party. He also got to have a little puppet show, but it finally had to go back to our neighbors.

Fun in SF

I think the highlight of our trip to N.CA was Jakey's first ride on a cable car. He was beyond excited. We had to wait for about an hour to get on and rode it to Fisherman's Wharf. I think it might have been my first time on one too.

We also visited the children's playground at Golden Gate park. It was a lot nicer than I remembered it.

10 Years

It's funny, but this was how I was dressed on our honeymoon 10 years ago. I guess we both just like going to cold, foggy beaches instead of sunny, tropical ones. Mendocino was beautiful and it was fun revisiting parts of the Northern California coast that I hadn't seen in years.

Of course we had to visit a lighthouse. We surprised a few deer as we were walking back to the main trail.

This is the view from our B & B.
