Who would have thought?

I was about to throw away the pampers box yesterday afternoon as Jake started to crawl towards it. He was enjoying just crawling/scooting around the box and laughing at the baby, and reaching for the sides of the box. SO, I had a brilliant idea (yes, brilliant)! I put him INSIDE the box!!! He fit perfectly! This presents many FUN opportunities, b/c first I gave him a little ride in this box by pulling on the sides, which he LOVED! After my back was tired from that, though.....he just enjoyed tearing up the box and feeling it - and making his own fun. I decided that really for Christmas - all Jake probably needs is different patterned wrapping paper wrapped in different shaped boxes, and he will be ALL set :-)
Also, you will notice that his eyes are shut in MOST of these pictures. Jake has now figured out WHEN the flash will go off, and ALWAYS closes his eyes. I finally got one with his eyes opened a the end of the "photo shoot", but it cracks me up, because for the past 4-5 days, he is ALWAYS closing his eyes for the camera.....instead of his usual posing ;-) Maybe he doesn't want to be a model after all?!
