The Jason Sykes Family

3 months old

Jacob turned 3 months old Monday, Oct. 20. We go to the doctor at 4 months, so I'm guessing on his weight, but I'm thinking he's about 17 1/2 lbs, give or take. He's getting so big! Yesterday, his Auntie Jennifer was holding him & she asked me how could I hold him for very long! :)
Here are some pictures from Jacob's 3 month birthday. Pawpaw & Mimi came over with this sweater & matching hat. It was intended to be a Christmas present, but Mimi was afraid he might not be able to wear in 2 more months, so she gave it to him early. Isn't it the cutest? Can't wait for him to wear it.

Oktoberfest

Finally, here are some pictures from Oktoberfest. We had a wonderful time being with the family. This has become one of our favorite annual festivities. It was also the first time Jacob got to ride in his wrap. He liked it. It was easy for him to snuggle in & take a nap. It's fun seeing the attention that thing gets. :)

We decided to have family pictures made while we were all together. Here are a few sweet ones we took with our own camera.

This is one taken by Summer Hensley, the photographer.

Hallelujah Night 2008

Our church had its annual children's Hallelujah Night. This is a festive evening filled with games, a costume contest, a moon-bounce, and lots of candy! Also, the kids get to dress up.

Here is Jacob dressed up as a duck. He won the cutest dressed child for 6 months or less! We were so excited.


Below is a cute picture of Jacob and cousin Isabelle.

Let the FUN Begin!

Becky, Jacob and I made it to Becky's parents house in Hohenwald, TN last night. This is our annual trip to Ocktober Fest held in town and along Natchez Trace State Park. It's about 7:32am and we are all about to hit the road and find some deals (it just started at sunrise). Barry and Jennifer and Eriz and Liz with all the kids will be joining us tonight. Gotta go get my coffee ready and jump in the car.... I'll be sure to share any great deals we find this weekend! - Jason

2 months old

Our boy is growing like a weed! I can't believe he's almost 3 months old. At his last doctor's appointment he weighed 14.12 lbs & was 23.5 in long. That puts him in the 95th percentile for his weight. :) I like a rolly-polly baby. He's got the cutest chubby cheeks & double chin. I can't help but kiss on them all the time.

Oktoberfest in Hohenwald is this next weekend. We are so excited. It's one of the year's highlights for our family. We will make pictures and give you an update afterwards.

Here are some recent pictures.

Thanks, Aunt Jill, for the cute onesie. It's Jacob's favorite. :)

Bedtime chat with Dad.

First time to ride in stroller without carrier. He loved the ride.

Go Vols! Thanks Uncle Richard & Aunt Melba for the really nice blanket.

Pretty blue eyes!
