A good weekend for the little guy.

Jacob had a great weekend. Here he is laughing with mommy!

Jacob really enjoyed trying a new food. He seems to like sweet potatoes.

Jacob had a good visit with the doctor today. He had his temperature taken, weighed, check the heart, and had some shots. But everything was great according to the doc.

Happy 6 month birthday Jacob!

We did a lot for his 6 month B-Day.

First we took some pictures.

Then we tried some food.

At first he was more interested in the garbage bag than his food.

Then Jacob started to understand what was going on.

By the time we were done he was trying to eat the bowl and had some fun.

Jacob graduated to the "Big Boy Tub"

Grandma Smith sent a new mini tub that sits inside the big tub. Fits great and looks like Jacob had a really fun time tonight with his first try.

4th of July weekend from the condo in Lincoln City



He enjoyed sitting near the window just
watching everything happening outside.

This was a picture of Haystack Rock in Pacific City
(About 30 minutes from the condo)

The little guy spent a lot of time just chilling out this weekend.

He also spent a lot of time napping.
It is tiring being outside on walks with mom and dad.



We forgot the tub back in Portland and had to compromise a bit.
But he had some fun.



He had several times he enjoyed just laying around with mommy laughing and having fun.

This is what he was able to sleep through for part of the firework show.







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.
