Busy Day Yesterday

We had such a busy day yesterday. Jacob learned to crawl (about an inch or two then he falls flat again!), do the Indian sound thing, and his 1st tooth has finally popped through! No wonder he slept so good last night!

Christmas Time and The Littlest Santa

Our 2009 Christmas pictures. Isn't he the cutest little thing ever?

Merry Christmas from our house to yours

He Claps and Shakes

Jacob's newest accomplishments are clapping and shaking his head back and forth (as if saying no, no, no).

We are currently working on him crawling.
He can almost get up on all fours but not quite.
As soon as he gets close to all fours he usually goes too far forward and bites it with his face in the floor.
This does not please him.
At all.
Quite funny to see though.

I love this kid.










Sorry for all the red eyes. If anyone knows of a way to not have that happen when tkaing a picture I'd love to hear it.

Jacob is Sick

And I mean really sick. Tonsilitis, upper respitory infection, and a virus. My poor little guy is miserable. And making everyone else misreable. He is just so sad and pathetic with his little bitty hoarse cough. And when he cries it just breaks my heart, he can barely get his voice high enough to cry, so pitiful.

Wish I could just kiss it all better...

Newest Milestones

I just realized that I have not updated Jacob's milestones lately and since I hope to one day turn this blog into a little book for him I need to get on it. Here is the list of things he can do now, at 6 1/2 months old (or 29 weeks old).

• sits all on his own with no help
• will "chase" his car and try to get it back (with his hands, he's not crawling yet)
• giggles really loud when tickled
• pulls into a sitting and standing position
• says ma ma and da da but not neccessarily with any meaning
• tried to feed himself
• discovered he can scream (really loudly)

That's about it. My little man is getting so big. I'm so proud of him.

Enjoy my little scarecrow's 6-month picture shoot. Isn't he the cutest scarecrow ever??

Sept 3rd pictures, a little late

Here are some pictures from Jacob's Sept. 3rd photo shoot. (Yes I know that was a month ago but better late than never, right?)







Sorry, I'm such a bad blogger. There just aren't enough hours in the day anymore..

Robbery and Car Wreck

Did I mention that last Friday someone broke into our home and stole a bunch of stuff. Then last night while coming home from the inlaws a guy ran into us from behind and took out the whole backside of my 2 month old car. With Jacob sitting in the backseat. Thank God he is o.k.

I think I've had about enough of August...

My Growing Boy

Well Jacob is a little over 19 weeks old. It is amazing how fast he is growing. He is such a happy, loving baby. He is truly a beautiful baby, both inside and out. I can honestly say that he is a joy to have. Here are the latest accomplishments of my little man.

Rolls over well from front to back and back to front. But can only roll in one direction!
Lifts up his arms and hands to be picked up.
Babbles all the time.
Smiles broadly at mommy and daddy and whenever people make funny noises to him.
Likes to try to "eat" his toes.
Grabs paci and tries to get it in his mouth but most times misses or gets it in wrong.
Started tiny bits of baby food about 2 weeks ago. Also has juice mixed with water 1x a day. Did not like sweet peas but seems to enjoy bananas.


That's all for the latest update. He is going for his 5 month pictures Sunday. Will update then!
