Jake's World

Jake has loved to swing ever since he was little!  He loves the wind - it makes him laugh.  He had such a good time this day and Brandon & Kayla loved that Jake was on the swing set with them!!

12/2009 Jake  knows what he doesn't want!   anytime we cover Jake's hand or put anything around his wrist to try to keep his hands out of his mouth, he knows exactly what to do to break free.  He is too funny!! 

This is the first toy that Jake ever truly played with!  We bought it for him for his 3rd birthday and now at 6 years old, it is still his favorite toy!  Brandon and Kayla were only 2 year old  in this video - they just love their big brother!!

Jake sat for 20 minutes in the bumbo and he looked amazing!! 

so angry, but still running like a champ!!!

still going..............

Run Jakey Run....These videos were taken in school a couple of weeks after he was first put in a gait trainer. He wasn't happy, but he was definitely motivated!! His therapists measured his journey and it was 100 feet!! 

Jake loves to bounce, and I recently read that bouncing on a trampoline can be as good as hippo-therapy (horse back riding). It can help to stregthen trunk and neck muscles. Needless to say, we bought Jake a trampoline for his birthday! Brandon and Kayla love to bounce their big brother on the trampoline. As soon as I get that on video, I'll add it, but just watch this in the meantime....It's Jake bouncing with me on his 4th birthday...

Jake was paying close attention and just looking really cute.
