Rack 'em up!!

I can't believe Daddy is actually letting me play here!

I will rack them - you break.

Yes, I am crawling now!

Thanks Daddy - this was fun!

This is just a random picture that cracked me up. Hope you get a kick out of it too!

May Pictures

You probably know already - I take one picture a day of Jacob to share with the family back home. OK, I take at least one picture a day to share with the family. Below are the pictures for May. I hope you enjoy!

Hawk Family

Every year this red-tailed hawk makes his (I guess it would be a her?) home on the ledge of our office building. I wish I could take credit for these amazing pictures, but it is quite obvious that a professional took these pictures. Every year the hawk nests here and has her babies. (and makes quite the mess in the parkinglot and on our cars). Hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I did!

Not So Sweet Potatoes

We thought we would try some solid foods today. I thought sweet potatoes would be a nice start because they are sweet - right? It is in the title, it has to be... I even tasted it. It was pretty good! Jacob really did not think so! I think we will try rice cereal tomorrow.

If you see a solid black box on any of the slides, just click the "x" in the upper right hand corner.

Happy Birthday Dad!

Just wanted to wish my Dad a Happy Birthday!

You are a great father and role model and an amazing pawpaw.

We wish we were there with you!

We love you very much!!

Love,

Billy, Tami and Jacob

Jacob turned 5 months old today!

I can't believe my boy is 5 months old!

He is so big now. He is 16lbs and at his 4 month Dr. appointment, he was 26.5 inches long. He is in the 90th percentile for height and 55th percentle for his weight.

We have not tried any solid food yet, but Auntie Cara gave us some organic brown rice to try when we are ready. Maybe another month.

Jacob is trying to crawl. He has not been successful (other than the laps he makes around his crib), but he is really trying.

He loves to play with anything that is not his toy. He has a bright orange DelTaco cup that he loves and has moved from the little water bottles to the gallon jugs with handles.

We bought him a new chair so that he could sit in the tub like a big boy... Well, he is not so sure he wants to take a bath like a big boy yet - you can check out those pictures below.

Jacob's First Bath in his Big-Boy Chair

You can see the progression. He did eventually enjoy the bath, but not for long. He just wants to stay mommy's little baby : )!

This is Jacob trying very hard to crawl. Little bit of rug-burn to the face never hurt anyone - right?

Jacob has a blast in his "Playstation 2"


He really likes the dumb bus on this thing. It is so loud and makes the scariest sounds. I don't know why it does not scare him - scares me!

The spinning wheel is his very favorite. If you spin it, he can not stand it! He has to stop it and spin it himself.

Here is Jacob just waking up from his nap. He is such a little angel when he wakes up. Look at this sweet face!

We used to hid at the top of the crib and he did not know we were there. He has got us figured out now though.

He wants to be so independent.

Jacob looks so relaxed. He places his hads behind his head like aaahhh - this is the life.
