Some fun for Jacob

Here are some things Jacob has been doing the past couple of weeks.


Here is Jacob getting a present from Uncle Denny "The Great".

 

 

 

 

 

Jacob also enjoyed trying on his monkey outfit

 



 

 

Last weekend he went to visit the trains at a museum.

 



Jacob visits the dentist

Jacob had his first dentist appointment today.  Our dentist offers a free visit or two before they actually do a full cleaning to let the kids get use to everything.

First visit to the Portland Children's Museum

Here are some videos from some of the different rooms he explored and enjoyed playing in.

Fun around the house

Although we have a hard time getting Jacob to eat veggies or corn or anything like that, we think that seeing daddy eat corn on the cob pushed him to want to try it himself.



After being such a good boy, we thought that a nice dip in the pool was a good reward.  Here is Jacob enjoying the pool.

Jacob at the beach

Jacob enjoys going to the beach now.  Here are some videos from the weekend.


Before we went to the beach, we went to a playground to spend part of the morning.

We also spent some time opening and shutting the door.

Then we moved down to the beach.  He enjoys playing in the sand.

He has the most fun out in the water.  Here is a long video (Probably a half hour) of that activity and Jacob walking around playing in the water during low tide.

For those who have not been to Lincoln City to see the place, I also included a video showing what it looks like from our unit so you can see where we were when Jacob played on the beach.  Plus it will show the difference between high and low tide.

Jacob at his 18 month appointment

Jacob had his 18 month appointment.  Here is how he measured up...

28 lbs. 14 oz.
he was 34.25" tall
His head was 18" around

Here are some pics and videos from the experience.

Jacob having some fun

Here are some videos from the past week with the little guy having some fun.

These are from Tuesday last week when we went up to a concert that was held on Mt. Tabor.  They have a summer concert series for families that gets pretty good crowds.

He also had some fun jumping around on the bed yesterday.

Jacob at the airport

I forgot to post these when we returned from our trip in the Midwest.  Jacob had fun at the airport.  He walked on the escalator for about 10-15 minutes and kept himself quite entertained.

He also went crazy when he saw a giant frog poster of Kermit.  You can barely see him at the bottom of the picture as the light from the screen didn't make the best situation.  But you can see the top of his arm raising up with excitement.  Sorry that things were blurry.  My camera lens was scratched at the time.

Jacob's fun weekend

He worked hard on the ranch all day and danced all night.

Friday night we went to "Baby Loves Disco".  This was an event at a local mall which played music.  Jacob had a lot of fun.  We spent Saturday and Sunday working hard around the house in the cowboy outfits herding his toys and running down mommy and daddy.  Saturday night we went to a local community center for some more fun dancing around and playing.  Sunday had a break in the cowboy action going to Gymboree.  Then back to work.

Enjoy the pics and videos.

Jacob enjoying the pool

During the trip to the Midwest, Jacob got to visit a pool for the first time.  We went over and visited Uncle Greg and Aunt Amy at their house.  Jacob wanted to get out and jump back in over and over.  He doesn't seem to be afraid of the water.

You can see cousin Jackson with Grandma Smith in the second video.
