Snow!

Another funny video, with Jacob playing with our cat, talking on his phone, and saying "Bye-Bye" (sort-of). Be sure to watch to end for the real funny.

We got a few inches of snow today, so Jacob went out for a photo-op. The picture in the middle is from his daycare. They made one for all the students and hung them on the walls in their classroom. The look on his face is priceless, as if he's thinking "You're gonna put this in a scrapbook somewhere and embarrass me by showing it to my girlfriend when I'm sixteen, aren't you?" That's right!

Poor Man's Teacup Ride

Who needs Disney World? We've got our own version, with Tigger too!

9 Months Old

There's not much new to report this week, other than Jacob is doing great and growing like a weed. He went to the doctor this past week and tipped the scales at 17 lbs 6 oz. He's developing a taste for particular foods, and a disliking for others like peas, bananas, and green beans. His sleeping pattern hasn't been the best lately, I guess due to his teething. But he's managed to avoid illness for the most part, other than a few sniffles and coughs.
Here's some new pics of Jacob asleep in his jumper with his head on a panda, one of him gnawing on a bottle (he still won't hold it himself to drink), and a couple we took today since the weather was so nice.
Here's some new video clips, including a failed attempt to bite the cat.

Bubbles!

As I mentioned in a previous post, Jacob really enjoys his baths. It's even more fun when you add bubbles. He doesn't have enough hair to do the shampoo faux-hawk, so we improvised:

New year, new look

I figured it was time to give our blog a bit of an overhaul. Kristine had to work today, so Jacob and I spent the day at home and tried to stay warm. That gave me a little time to fiddle with some new templates for this site. It took a lot of tries, but I think I finally found one that I like. It's kinda "dark", but I'm pleased with the results. I've added links at the top of the page if anyone would like to email us a note, or you can subscribe to receive an email when there are new posts.
Here's my little man dressed like his great-granddaddy Moore:

Home Video Montage

I finally got around to converting, editing, and compiling a few of the videos we've recorded over the past month. In case anyone is wondering, HD camcorders aren't the best for creating blog movies due to the large file size and unique format. However, the quality is pretty awesome when viewing on our TV. For some reason, the movie maker I'm using is squishing the aspect ratio so everything looks skinny. Anyway, here it is......Enjoy!

Jacob has had a tooth or two starting to cut through his gums, so no more chewing on Daddy's fingers. He's sitting up pretty well on his own now, and I'm thinking he's getting interested in going mobile pretty soon.
Here's a few random pics from the last week or so:

Happy New Year!

Christmas "vacation" has come to an end, and we're getting ready to start back to work. I've had a couple of weeks off, and Jacob and I got to spend lots of time together. We had a great time, except for those few days when he was cranky from an ear infection. He's all better now, and ready to go back to daycare next week. I just wish they could develop a better tasting antibiotic medicine, or at least a more modern way of administering it. Yuck!
I'm still not convinced that Portrait Innovations can do a better job of photographing my boy than I can....

"When a problem comes along......you must whip it!"

I admit it, I didn't spend all of my off days at home. I took a couple of days for some R&R in the woods with some moderate success.
