Sitting like a big boy...well, kind of

Jacob loves to try and sit up striaght whenever he's in his car seat or the bouncer. In fact, he's getting pretty good at it, so we decided it's time to finally get some pictures of him sitting on the couch like a big boy. Here are the results...

So far so good...

Uh oh...found the toes

We're thinking it's a lost cause when he begins to list to the side

We'll you can't say we didn't try. There's always next week : )

It's Just Hot....

So this week we have been doing whatever we can to stay cool.....going for long drives (gas is still expensive!) walking throught malls, exloring any, and every, place that has AC. Even still...It's just hot....

Just Some More Pics

Well, it's been a while since we've posted anything so we're playing catch up. Here's what's been going on the last few weeks...

Jacob likes hanging out with Dad on the couch. Incidentally, he's recently discovered that it's great fun to hold on to his toes.

Finally, Jacob gets some much needed sleep, cuddling with his giraffe, Spots. He's been so miserable in the heat and this was his first good nap in about 2 days. Mom didn't know what to do with 1 1/2 hours of free time.

Jacob loves bath time, especially now that he has learned he can play tug-0-war with Mom using the washcloth. He's also figured out how to splash Mom so she's as wet as he is by the time he's clean.

We joined a bunch of our friends at their house on Lake Joy for the 4th. Jacob's too young to enjoy the lake this year, but that didn't stop him from enjoying haning out on the dock with Mom and Dad.

Baptism!!

Last Sunday, Jacob entered the Catholic Church with his baptism at St. Monica's. Just to make sure everyone knew that he was there and in charge of the day, about two minutes in to the baptism, at a perfect lull, a massive explosion emerged from his underworld blowing out of his diaper all over the inside of his new gown. Amazingly this didn't seem to bother him until about five minutes before the end. He was even willing to smile when he got the holy water poured over him (probably reminded him of bath time)...Thank God for white blankets

Guests

Last night we had some good friends of ours come over and visit. Gabe, Marisa & Matteo Maricich. Rachael Maricich came by for a while too. Were still working on Rachael eating a good "balanced "meal.......

Matteo is working on how to hold a baby, one has to get prepared for the new bro/sis!!

Jacob wasn't 100% sold on this new person holding him...but then again it was in his 6:30pm crazy hour.....
