The Picarelli Family Grows!: December 2009

Jake is finally walking! He used his walker as support for the first week, then he was off on his own! He has been so good, and no trouble by getting into anything and everything despite having the new talent of walking....Dave and I feel so blessed! Jake is climbing all over the place, up the stairs (he loves to do that), and all over Daddy like a jungle gym! Jake is getting lots of use out of his playroom in the basement, and has entertained Grandma B and friend Isabella down in the playroom. Jake used his markers for the first time...seemed he got more on his hands than on the paper! Thank goodness for washable markers and crayons! He is learning so many things, like blowing his nose, making finger signs for "more", putting puzzle pieces back in the correct spots, etc. It is such a blessing and joy to watch him grow and learn!
