Thanks, Ally. Now I'm even more handsome!

LET'S GO!

1st Haircut

Jacob wasn't too sure about his first haircut...

but some cheerios made it alright!

Vacation comes to an end

I can't believe it's Friday already!  For the most part the weather has been pretty good, sunny but a little on the cool side.  Now it's cloudy and chilly.  Oh well, no complaining, it's been a fabulous spring.  Warmer weather is just around the corner!

Monday Jacob and I went swimming at VAC.  It's just amazing how comfortable Jacob is in the water.  He can sit in the kiddie pool now (the water is almost up to his chin!) and likes to stand and hold onto the side.  He splashed up a storm soaking both of us and all those within several feet.  A cute little girl played ball with him for a while and he practiced swimming in the big pool as well.  When he sits on the side of the pool now he leans forward to try to jump in.  What a big boy!  This summer is going to be a blast!

Tuesday came with sad news as we learned of my sister-in-law Dawn's mom passing away.  She was surrounded by her loving family.  Rest in peace Grandma Dot.  Please keep Dawn and her family in your prayers.

Wednesday Jacob got the last of his 12 month shots, PCV-7.  He weighed 28 pounds.  I think the shot made him a little fussy and out of sorts on Thursday, along with his upper 1 year molars coming in.  He's got 12 teeth now!

Thursday my friend Amy came over for lunch and a little play time.  She reassured me that he was just fine, despite his continued toe walking.  She showed me another activity to do with him to help him put his feet down flat.  We worked on it later and it went well.  I also moved the couch cushions off and he started cruising back and forth!  First time ever!  Thanks for all the advise, Amy!  I really appreciate it!

Now it's Friday and Jacob's napping.  We are going out to lunch with my mom, grandparents, Aunt Grace (my grandmother's sister-in-law), and Paula (my mom's cousin).  Jacob likes to eat out (he get's that from his Mama!).  Hope we have a good time!

Play time with Gram!

I was shocked when I drove by Christ the King Church yesterday and saw their daffodils in bloom... so imagine my surprise when I discovered them at our house, which is usually several WEEKS behind Rutland.

Notice the snow in the background on the trails at Pico.

HAPPY EASTER!

The ears didn't stay on for long, as you can see, Jacob was not impressed. He did like the new truck, though!

Why do weekends have to go so fast?  I cannot believe it is Monday already.  Two weeks until April vacation; I cannot wait!  Not too much new is going on.  The weather stinks but is supposed to greatly improve by the end of the week.  I'm looking forward to the warm temps and getting outside.  Jacob has been great... crawling really fast and getting into everything!  He's sleeping through the nights most of the time, with a short wake up some nights (he misses his Mama!).  Today Dawn has some appoinments with the boys so Ted is home with Jacob.  I hope they have a good day.  It's supposed to rain all day so they probably won't get out for a walk, but maybe they can go for a ride.  I can't seem to locate the camera to post some new pictures, maybe Ted can do it later.  It's probably upstairs but I'm too comfortable in my new chair to get up and go get it!  LOL

Jacob has officially mastered the running crawl, accompanied by panting and a big grin!  He is lightning fast and heads for his two favorite things, Pili's bowls and my plants.  We've had to change the location of Pili's bowls three times.  Poor dog runs in circles looking for her food.  The second Jacob hears her drinking, he stops, listens, and then takes off for the bowls!  And my big bird of paradise plant in the living room, with the shells all around it so that Pili would stop burying her bones in it, is now being dismantled by little hands.  He ripped part of a leaf off this morning and constantly grabs the shells.  I can't win!  LOL!

Well he was sleeping though the night last week but has been waking up around 3 the last few nights.  I snuggle and rock him and he goes back to sleep.  I try to memorize the feeling, knowing that someday I won't get to do that with him. 

I can't believe how beautiful it is outside.  The doors are open!  It says 58 degrees in the shade out back.  The snow's almost melted on the deck, but you still can't see any of the lawn.  Yesterday Ted and I went to Pico after school for three runs off the top.  Soft corn snow and sun...so much fun!
