Jacob's 26th week

This week held many new things for Jacob...He can sip juice from a sippy cup, hold it on his own, and has tried a whole banana through the teether-feeder (that was a messy one!). He is much better at sitting up on his own now, and continues to explore everything he can get his hands on. He still loves his thumb, and his favorite toys this week are his taggy elephant and books...he just can't get enough of those books!

2/19/09- Sucking on that thumb again!

Oh, so tired I am!

2/22/09- Here I am holding my own bottle...what a big boy!

Here I am sporting the cool bib my daddy got for me...wonder why he picked this one out?

2/23/09- here I am in the spare bed, helping mommy fold laundry

2/23/09- this is the coolest toy yet....it even makes crinkle sounds!

2/25/09- here I am eating a banana through my teether-feeder...yum!

What a mess!

2/28/09- My first time using a sippy cup...what a biggy boy I am!

Look mommy...I can hold it all on my own!

Mommy is so darn proud of me!

Hey mom, quit stealing my spotlight!

Jacob's 25th Week

Jacob continues to be the light of our lives...he gets more and more expressive as the days pass, and wants to explore everything he can get his hands on. Dave and I took him to get his new carseat this week, as he is very close to being too big for his infant car seat. Jacob got his first cold this week, with stuffy nose, cough and sneezing. Bless his heart, he only had Dave and I up for one night, and only for about a half hour....what a good boy he is, even when not feeling well!

2/16/09- On my way to pick out my Big-Boy carseat...

Double fisted....

2/17/09- Here I am STANDING at my playtable

2/17/09- Me wearing my T-shirt as a hat....

Ha! What fun!

2/18/09- BATH TIME!

I take my baths in my little tub still, but am able to sit up by myself now...

Oh so cute I am!

2/18/09- All snuggled up in my bathrobe

2/18/09- I'm getting better at sitting up on my own!

here's looking at you!

Jacob's 24th Week

Jacob is starting to sit up by himself a bit better, though he still needs a bit of support. We have now tried pears, applesauce, sweet potatoes, butternut squash and rice cereal...he isn't too keen on anything but the cereal, but we are working on him! Surprisingly, he seems to like the veggies better than the fruit. He continues to "talk" up a storm, and is such a happy baby! His favorite toy? BOOKS!

2/11/09- Jacob practicing sitting up on his own, grabbing none other, but a BOOK from his toy chest!

Yep...still looking at that book...

Finally lost my balance....

But kept ahold of that book all the way down!

2/12/09- Me and my buddy Cayla.... look how much bigger I am! Cayla weighs 8lbs here, so I am most likely pushing 18lbs!

I am such a lady's man....

Hey, this is fun!

Mom, she's tickling me!

2/12/09- Here I am in this weird thing mom insists I sit in...I am growing out of my infant car seat, so mom leaves it in the car now and I have to sit in this thing....

I feel so small in this thing!

Here I am snuggling with Daddy....

This week has been so tiring!
