Jake's Post - Birth to Age 1

Here we are on the amazing day that Jacob Jewel Bucy was born. He weighed 8 pounds and ounces and had a smooth little old man head of black hair. It is only because I feel so much joy about that day that I am posting such a hideous picture of myself. I don't know what I was thinking, but in my eagerness to have a healthy pregnancy, I didn't highlight my hair. That was a huge mistake that I didn't repeat when pregnant with Wyatt. I couldn't sleep the entire night that Jake was born. I just kept staring at him and marveling at the fact that he actually came out of my body.

Here is the picture we used to announce the birth of our number one son. What a beautiful baby boy.

This is one of my favorites. Jake's Auntie Missy took this picture of him and I added the little loin cloth before scanning it in.

Here's Jake at 4 months. Here's the little pumpkin's first Christmas. He was 7 months old and was crawling like crazy.

Here's Jake at 10 months showing us his "Sooooo big!" He was walking already at this age and said his first word, "Hi." This was his only word for some time but he used it well. He loved to say, "Hi" to everyone. One night sleeping at Grandma's he was heard saying it in his sleep. His eyes are still blue in this picture but turned green right around his first birthday.
Here's my boy at 1 year old. He was a walking, running, climbing little crazy man and so much fun. I was 4 months pregnant when Jake turned 1. Wow, that seems crazy now!
