Jacob being Jacob

Here are a bunch of videos that we have that are Jacob mostly having fun around the house the past couple of months.

It is time to learn how to work in the yard

He seemed to enjoy mowing and picking up sticks

But he also enjoyed hiding and eating sand.  So you take the good with the bad.

Jacob is the master fisherman

He is really enjoying crabbing and being at the beach even though the weather is getting a bit too cold to enjoy it in shorts.

Christmas season comes early

Even with Halloween still approaching, Jacob wanted to get moving toward Christmas


The quest for Frosty continues this year

Aunt Patti sent a "Phone" that Jacob can talk to Santa with.  You are suppose to start on December 1st and go for 25 days.  We thought that between traveling and wanting to see if he can enjoy sitting on Santa's lap this year would be good to let him start early.  He loves it and wants to talk to Santa every night.

Jacob having fun with Uncle "Denny the Great"

Denny flew up from San Diego and spent a long weekend with us and Jacob had a blast.  Here are some videos of that visit.

Jacob enjoying Halloween and fall festivals

The little guy had a lot of fun in October.  By the end of the night on Halloween he finally understood everything and wanted to keep handing out candy and playing "Trick or Treat" by going out onto our own porch and knocking on the door and having mommy open it and give him candy.  Here are some videos throughout the month of October.

Here is Jacob at the local Halloween Fall Festival

Here is a video of Jacob carving a pumpkin

Jacob also enjoyed his party at school

On the night of Halloween, Jacob had fun Trick or Treating

He also had fun handing out candy to people who came to our house.

Jacob playing after dinner

It has been a while since we put a long video on the blog and figured we would share a fairly common evening after dinner.

Division Street parade

This doesn't have much to do with Jacob.  But many of you enjoy laughing at some of what Portland has to offer.  This is a parade and festival that is put on by the local stores on Division street to both thank the community and bring some business to the area.  Like many Portland things...It is interesting.

Here are some videos from the parade by some of the businesses in the area.  Some of these I have no idea what they actually are trying to do.

Morning play time before school

Here is the little guy playing vet.  What we didn't capture was two minutes after him having fun that he cried for the next 30 minutes for what we have no real idea about.

Playing in the pool (If you want to call it a pool)

Here is the little guy playing around last weekend the pool in the back yard.

Jacob getting excited about summer

Jacob is ready for the nice weather.  This past weekend we went to a fountain in downtown and he also spent some time on his new bike.

Jacob still loves Frosty

The little guy is getting creative with his Frosty obsession.  This was March 30th and he still sings the song and puts on the scarf daily.  When we were at the coast he found a way to incorporate the corn cob pipe...

Jacob is the big bad wolf

His face is scary with all of the pasta sauce on it but helps sell the fierce "Big Bad Wolf" pitch he is making.  Halle and I haven't read him the book.  We think he picked it up at school.

Jacob singing Frosty

Here are a couple of videos of Jacob singing Frosty.  Not the greatest as he is against a light in the background and I'm a bit further away.  But you can still hear him singing completely on his own most of the song.

Jacob just loves Gymboree

Here are two videos of us on the way to Gymboree.  The first one is when we are on the highway and about to get off the exit to where we go to Gymboree.  The second is when we are getting close and then pulling into the parking lot.

Here is Jacob at Gymboree having fun.  He is now running on the airlog by himself to jump off the end.  Pretty good balance.
