Jake meets the big city

Jake loves to go up, up, up on Daddy's shoulders
Ahhh the joy of a 3 year old boy seeing the holiday windows for the first time
Jake thought the little girl was sick because she was laying down. (Can you believe there was no crowd and he got to walk right up to the windows??)
The boys
And his favorite thing to do in Chicago was chase the pigeons. (Can he make it more obvious that we live in the burbs?)
It is kind of nice to be writing about a fun day Adam got to spend with Jake. I have been feeling like many of my entries have been ending with "Adam worked." I went to sub again and my parents spent the day with Abbie girl while Jake, Daddy, & Grandma Kitty went to Chicago. It wasn't too cold and they packed in a lot of fun: the Garfield Conservatory, the windows at Macy's, FAO Schwartz, a visit to Santa, McDonald's, and Daley Plaza. Needless to say Jake crashed in the car on the way home. Next year the ladies of the house will be joining them :)

What a great outing! And the close-up picture of Jake looking at the windows is great.

What a great day! Jake is at such a cute "curious about everything" stage! That is so nice that he got to take some pictures with his Daddy! He looks a lot like his Daddy:)

Hi Laura,

I love seeing the look of delight on a child's face when they experience something for the first time. It looks like they had fun!

How much fun! I love the pictures. It makes me so Chicago-sick (I'm not quite sure I can refer to Chicago as my home, since I only lived there 3 years--so far!).
ps-I LOVE Jake's mohawk. He's so cool!
