Jacob turns 5 months old

Here are some pictures from the 5 month birthday for the "big man"!

More Saturday fun

Jacob enjoys pulling his blanket over his head and waiting to play "Peek-a-boo". If you play this with sound you will hear him laughing with me.

Hanging out on a Saturday

Jacob is starting to sit up on his own power. Doesn't last long but he is getting there.

Big day for Jacob - Portland Rose Festival parade

We were in the parade. Well...We were part of a group that got to walk the parade route before the official parade began. We were asked by one of Halle's friends if we wanted to participate wtih her company as the sponsors of the walk. The route was four miles and amazing how many thousands of people come to watch this parade. People put chairs and block off sections the day before.

This video is just before we started.

We had reserve seats after the walk at the end of the route. Here is one of the typical Portland experiences. They show up for all sorts of events. Basically it is a group who all use to be in band and still participate as an organized group. Personally it reminds me of something in the show Portlandia.

Jacob in his stylish stroller.

Later in the day, Jacob tried to cruise around town without the car seat and in the stroller as a big boy. He did great.

After a big day, mommy and Jacob were tired and took a nap.

Even after Halle wakes up, Jacob was completely crashed.

Jacob's four month doctor appointment

Today was his doctor appointment. He cried a lot from the shots but overall was very good.


15 pounds 14 ounces
16" head
26.25 inches long


Doctor said everything looked really good

Jacob just sitting around

He usually doesn't talk or make many sounds as soon as the camera comes on. But we finally got him in action.

Jacob at the beach

Jacob took a stroll along the beach. This is just down from the condo. We are standing right at the mouth of the bay. To the left is the bay during high tide, seals (Barely visable) are across the bay, and when Halle turns to the right is the ocean. We were using the iPhone so the quality is not the greatest.
