1st Moonlight Run

On March 10th we ran our 1st Moonlight Run in Lethbridge. Wendell did the 10K and Christy, Amanda, and myself did the 6K. 

We decided to sign up for the run to motivate ourselves into being  more active. In some ways it worked and in other ways it didn't. Since the run I've lost that motivation so I think I will sign up for some more races for this summer! I felt really prepared for it and finished under my goal time. I was a little worried about running outside because I've ran outside once in my life. But it was a perfect night and the weather couldn't have been better.

This was our first time doing a run of any kind so we were really excited. Christy has done a ton of races so this was literally a walk in the park for her! I'm hoping to do it again with more family members next year! It was fun to have someone to run with!

 This picture is obviously before the race as we are all cute and smiling and Amanda still had her flip flops on lol! My post race pictures are on my phone and I don't have the energy to get them! ( lol see what I'm talking about- post race laziness!)

If you've ever wanted to do a race then do it! It was so much fun and so not as competitive as I thought it would be!

11 months old!

Mr. Jakey is 11 months old. For some reason that seems much older and bigger than 10 months old!?

Jake got 4 new teeth this month. 2 more on the bottom and 2 on top. This could easily explain why his sleeping has suddenly become very disturbed.
But daddy is still on Jakey duty so I rarely have to get up!
He loves to climb. (and has the bumps and bruises to prove it) He can go up and down the stairs. He can also climb up the ladder in the bathroom and climb on top of the kid's food table.

He loves to play with balls. He has figured out how to bounce them so they come back to him. He also loves to walk with the big push car. He can zoom in and around the kitchen and has really good balance. He can walk along the walls and furniture. And he can easily walk with us holding one hand. I'm hoping he'll be walking before we leave for Hawaii in 3 weeks!

He has started to show his frustration by throwing tantrums. He will throw himself down and cry in frustration if he loses a toy or if he can't reach a particular item. It's kindof funny to watch but I can't believe it's happening already.

He is still a bum/leg scooter. I don't think he will ever crawl the "regular" way. He gets going pretty fast and everyone who sees him do it thinks it's pretty funny.

Jakey still adores his brother and loves to have baths with him and play with him. Jakey loves to climb all over him and knock him over. Wyatt is usually pretty good at calling for us to come get him instead of pushing him off. Today Jakey climb up the ladder at the bathroom sink with Wyatt and they played in the water for a bit. I can already see the double trouble they're going to get into!

Happy 11 months Jakey!!
