How much do I love you?

Apparently a lot, judging from the size of Jake's balloon.

He had some money and this is one of the things he wanted to buy. Wow, that balloon is bigger than he is.

The other day, all on his own Jake came up to Kevin and grabbed his leg and hugged. Then he looked up and said, "I love you Daddy."

And, Saturday morning he came in and crawled in bed with us. First he reached over and hugged Violet. "I love you Mommy." Then he reached over and hugged Kevin. "I love you Daddy."

It's just recently that he has said this all on his own without any prompting. No other four words sound so good.
