New Found Likeness

Well, thanks to my wonderful, energetic and extremely likable brother and sister-n-law, Becky and I have finally gotten on The Office kick. We have caught up on the past seasons and are excited to be up to date. I would encourage you to visit nbc.com and check it out. It's pretty funny- right Janet?!?!

Happy Valentine's Day!

We celebrated Valentine's Day a bit differently this year. There was a Jr. Bible Quiz tournament that day at Lake Benson, so Jason & I didn't do anything special. It was a good day & the campground was beautiful. Cupid actually left a gift at my door Saturday morning (thank you Sis. Judy!!). It was a nice surprise. We did get cards for each other & received cards from different family members. Jacob got several cards, too. We didn't get any pictures because I forgot to take our camera. I was rushing around to get us out the door Friday afternoon that it slipped my mind. I could kick myself!

Yummy!

That's a yummy toe!

Snow Day!!

It snowed last night & schools are cancelled, so Isabelle got to stay home with her momma. We bundled up Jacob & took him outside. Jason let him touch the snow, which he really didn't know what to think. He was ready for a nap, so we didn't stay out long. He'll be loving it next year, I'm sure!

Just Because

Jason surprised me Monday evening when he came home with a beautiful dozen roses. The card read 'Just Because.' That's the best kind.

Thank you, Baby, for making my day & making me feel special. I love you!!!

Update

Jacob got 3 shots last week. It was so pitiful. By the time the nurse was giving the 2nd one he'd figured out that he did not like it at all! But he only cried for a minute & he was over it. He's such a good boy.

He weighed in at 21lbs (95th percentile on growth chart), & he measured 27 3/4 in (95th percentile). He's slowed down slightly in his weight, but he had a small growth spurt in length. We've started eating baby foods, which he seems to like, not surprising. He's becoming more active & will probably start loosing some of the baby fat, which makes me sad! I love my fluffy baby!

Happy 6 month Birthday, Jacob!!

I can't believe my baby is 6 months old! Half a year has already gone by. Unbelievable! We go to the doctor today, so I will give an update on that later.

We had a nice surprise when we got up this morning - it snowed! It began as a slight dusting, but as the morning progressed it snowed enough to cover the ground. I tried to make Jacob's picture so we could see the snow, but it was a little difficult.

You can see a few flakes floating.

This was later in the morning.
