Memorial Day

New pictures of Jacob playing with some of his new toys, and demonstrating his new skills by standing on his own.

First Birthday

Jacob turned one on Saturday, and we had a nice little party with family and friends. He got a bunch of new toys, books, puzzles, and clothes. We've just got to find some place to keep all this stuff. He really enjoyed the attention, especially when he got to smash his own little cake. You just don't know what funny is until you see a little boy blow a blue/green bubble of icing from his nose. It's all fun and games until baby gets cake in his eyes!

The week in pictures

Crawling, Jibberish, and other Shenanigans

Jacob has finally learned to crawl, at least in his own special way. He hasn't quite mastered the pattern of how to move his hands and legs. He's also pulling up on anything he can get his hands on, including unstable furniture, his bed, me, the cat, etc. He's taken a couple of spills over the past week, but he is getting much better at it of late. This prompted a quick sweep of the house for "baby-proofing". Video evidence below:

Weekend at the Beach

We got home today from a weekend at Seagrove Beach in Florida. Kristine's cousin Katie got married in Destin on Saturday, and we also celebrated Kristine's mom's and uncles' birthday. The weather wasn't exactly ideal for sunnin' on the beach, except for the day we had to leave. The water is still a bit on the chilly side, and Jacob didn't seem to enjoy the beach as much as last time. I'm guessing because of the cooler temperatures and very windy conditions. It was still nice to get away from home and work while spending time with family.

Bubble Time with Kitty

Jacob still can't crawl or walk, but he can spin in circles with the best of them!
