Jacob has his 15 month doctor appointment

Things went well.  He did not like the shots at all and screamed very loud.  But he recovered and is doing well.

His stats are:
31.75" Long
26 lbs. 7 oz.
18.5" head

Here are some pictures and videos from the visit.

Jacob has some Easter fun

A trip to see the Easter Bunny and more...

Jacob was interested in the Easter Bunny for a while



And then it was time to have mommy move away and take the official picture.  The result surprisingly looks a lot like the Christmas outcome.

But later the little man got to enjoy some fun times with Grandma Smith.

Jacob's fun Saturday with Grandma Smith in town

We did lots of things during Grandma's visit.

We went to Gymboree, got a haircut, and learned how to blow my nose.  Look at all of the videos of the fun we had.

Jacob having fun on a Friday night

We posted several videos showing a typical night and what we do after dinner and getting ready for bed.  Jacob had fun playing, reading, taking a bath, and brushing his teeth.


First it is reading time with mommy.  Jacob likes to go pick out a book and then sit on mommy's lap.

Then it was time for him to show us what he learned at school today.  So he showed us how he learned to jump.





Then we needed to give him a bath.  Jacob likes baths a lot more now that we use the shower part so he can play with it.

He likes to brush his own teeth and we think this is how he drinks water before bed because he wants us to keep putting more water on the brush.

Jacob at daycare

Today Halle and I went to Jacob's school to watch him eat lunch.  Now that he is in the next room up (Toddler room) they have said it is very cute how he eats with the big kids sitting at a table.  Here are a couple of short videos we took of our visit.

Jacob 1 year stats and weekend fun

Jacob had his 1 year old check up last week.  He was 30.25" long and weighed 24.3 pounds.  Both of those were between the 60-70% mark.

Here is another video where Jacob tries to be like mommy and daddy.  This time it is Halle.

Monkey see....Monkey do

The little guy is starting to be a copy cat

Jacob and the kitty

We had a kitty visiting our porch all day.  The video is earlier this morning when Jacob saw it outside.  The picture is later in the evening the same day.

I AM 1 YEAR OLD!!

Look at me having fun at Gymboree with all of my friends.  It was so much fun.


Here I am playing in the tunnel

Look at me going up and down.  So much fun!

Up the ramp and into the tubes

Crawling around and bubble time!

And finally....I get to eat the cake!

I must keep playing!!

The little guy was so tired.  But he just wouldn't give up on his day off with daddy.  Daycare was closed on MLK Day.  So we stayed home and had some fun.
