The First Ones

                                     THESE are some of the very first pictures that I ever saw of Jake.

Wait-come to think of it....

one of these pictures IS the VERY FIRST one that I saw of him.

I will make a note of it below. ;)

Tami, Jake's "Earth Angel" met him on this day in September 2010 when he was just six months old.

(Um, Tami-If I have the date screwed up PLEASE correct me here. Okay-thanks!).

I can't speak for Tami as to why she decided to advocate for Jake. BUT, Greg and I are SOOOO grateful that she did!!!

Tami adopted her daughter Aubry with in a few days of these pictures being taken. Aubry is the pretty girl in the green shirt. She has a pretty amazing adoption story herself. ;) I don't have permission to talk about it....but, trust me....it is SO cool.

Now, go ahead and enjoy the precious baby boy pictures below. (Unless you already have-LOL)!

My Jakey Boy Attends a Party :)

Last month a fellow Jiang Cheng Orphanage Mommy posted pictures to our Yahoo Orphanage group of her daughter's 1st birthday. She had sent her little one a cake and camera for her milestone birthday.

Lo and behold....LOOK WHO was invited to the party!

:)

Mr. Jake is the stinker in the white (or is it pink?!) shirt with the red lettering.

I love how he is being restrained in the last two pictures~

he must have REALLY wanted that cake ALL to HIMSELF!

*LOL*!!!

It is AMAZING to see pictures of my son while he is still a half a world away. Hold on Jake...Mommy is coming as SOON as I can! :)
