Grandma McMahon arrives to take pictures

I have been getting a lot of heat from family (and it is deserved) for not getting out any pictures of Jake at all. So, a few weekends ago my Mom arrives with two goals: to hold Jake as much as possible and to take pictures for those back home. Success! Robbie and Jake were smothered in Grandma-love as the two Grandmas spent the weekend with me. Here are some pictures! Jake is 3 weeks old.

We headed out to Ko Olina one afternoon for a walk and Robbie had a blast with all the freedom it allowed. The shot above is one of two my Mom was able to snap of him along the beach walk...yes, it was hard to capture him while he was running so fast. This one cracked us up because he's a blur and nearly out of the frame. The other is from another (late) afternoon outing with Robbie to a local park. Note in true McMahon style, I didn't antipicate how long it would take to walk there (Robbie was much slower than I factored in!) and we arrived as the sun went down. We let Robbie run around in near-dark for about 20 minutes, then had to head home!

This last shot is thrown in because I really feel that Jake looks a lot like Robbie. Robbie had long eye lashes from the minute he was born and his eyes may be a bit bigger and rounder, but this "look" from Jake could be a mirror image of some of Robbie's baby pics. Someday I may post more for comparison!
