Jacob is proud to stand up

He likes to tell everyone how happy he is whenever he stands up.  He makes sure everyone hears how well he has done to get up on his feet.

You can see him pulling himself up in the first video and then more happiness expressed in the second.  We have to keep the videos under a minute each when filming from our phone to be able to email it from the phone to our email due to the size of file.  That is why they are split up into separate videos.

Jacob's new toy

He seems to enjoy jumping around in a new toy that is on loan to us from the Rabold's.

Jacob is learning to sit up after he crawls

If you watch closely you will see how he swings his leg around under him and that is how he goes from stomach to sitting up.

To the beach!

Here are some pictures of Jacob enjoying the beach and testing the sand and water for the first time.

7 Month B-Day pictures

Here are a few pictures from the big guys 7-month birthday.

Look at me!!! I can crawl!

Now mommy and daddy have to start keeping a close eye on the little guy.


Jacob first learned how to go round and round and explore his stroller.

Later he decided to try and see what the carpet is all about.

Ahhhhh. Those cords look like they probably taste really good.

Follow the camera. What is the bright light and my picture in front of me doing? This is Halle's favorite video.

And finally...A little longer video showing how well he is now moving around.

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.

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.
