Jacob's First Christmas

Ok Santa...now let me tell you my list....

This shiny thing is great!

Me and Daddy...Hey, I'm dressed up as the present!

Me and my Aunt Tt

My presents under the tree

The Spoils!

All the excitement had me tuckered out.... Can't wait to do this again next year!

Jacob is growing like a weed still, and changes everyday! He continues to work on "talking"...Dave swears he has already said "Da-Da," but I'm holding out that his first words will be Ma-Ma! Jacob loves to "stand" up on laps, and laughs and squeals in delight....what a joy he is!

12/18/08- Bath time (again)...I have started to kick the water and hold onto cups and my scrubbie brush

12/19/08- Me and my fuzzy Doggie....one week older!

Thumbs up!

12/23/08- Me and Daddy playing on the floor....

I am facinated with Daddy's face!

Daddy is such a good snuggler!

12/11/08- Me next to my furry Doggie

12/12/08- Snuggled up in my swing...my favorite place to take naps now

12/15/08- In the swing again!

12/16/08- How cute am I in this get-up?

12/16/08- Havin some fun with Grandma Brooks....

12/17/08- Me in my Bumbo Seat

Mmmm..this toy looks good....

But Mr. Cow looks even better!

Jacob's 15th Week

We got the Christmas Tree up this week, along with Jake's first stocking...He has started trying to roll over, and was successful in getting halfway over from his back to his side. When he is on his tummy he likes to pull his knees up under him as if in the "crawl" position...won't be long now!

The following pics are Jacob's 3 month "professional" photos, taken by mommy!

12/5/08- Jacob in his Christmas outfit...these didn't turn out so well, so we will be going back to the real professionals to get christmas pics!

Mommy, am I holding this red thing the right way?

How about now?

12/9/08- I'm getting so good at this tummy thing...

I'm even starting to pull my knees up under me...watch out world, I'm gonna master this crawling thing in no time!

Jacob's 14th Week

Jacob is sleeping through the night for the most part, and is now fascinated with his feet and putting things in his mouth.... the drool has started to flow, particularly when he is focusing hard on something. He continues to grow by leaps and bounds, and has grown out of many of his size 3 month clothing this week...must have gone through another growth spurt!
