Jacob's One Year Pictures

Oops - thought I posted this last Friday!

Hold your hats! It's a whole two posts in one week! And stay tuned next week, when we start the birthday count-down - I have a surprise for my faithful (and occasional) readers!


I'm posting some of my favorties from Jacob's Portrait Innovations pictures last Saturday. You can see the whole lot of them at http://www.jacobjones.shutterfly.com/, but here's a couple!

Father's Day & July 4th Pictures!

As promised: Link to lots more too.

Mother's Day Weekend

First, some pictures!

Jacob Napping

Making a mess at dinnertime!

New use for the pacifier he doesn't like?

He prefers boxes to his toys!

He likes boxes!


We all had a good Mother's Day weekend. Jacob is still fighting off this cold. He had his 9 month (well) check up on Friday. He was about 18 lbs, 2 oz and 28.5 inches long. I'm not sure the weight is quite right because he was squirming and the scale they use is too small for him now. He did drop down a few notches on the growth charts, but this was to be expected since he is so much more active now. He pulls up all the time and is crawling everywhere!

On Saturday, we went to a birthday party for our friend's Chris & Nicole's 2 year old daughter, Devyn. She is so cute! They put the cake in front of her to blow out her candles, and she said "Where's a fork?!!"

For Mother's Day, I got a lovely card from Jacob and another one from Jeff. I also got a Mother & Son keepsake box by Willow Tree and a necklace to wear my Mama-Baby charm on that Jeff gave me when Jacob was born. (My other necklace broke in February!)

Later, we drove to Wilmington for the day to see my Grandma Elsa who is visiting from Florida. Odd, since it was Mother's Day that we were with my Dad! But, our moms understood. My mom was here the previous weekend, and Jeff's mom will be here this weekend. We let Jake swim for about 10-15 minutes in Dad's pool with his new baby float.

This thing works GREAT! He loved, loved, loved it!

I don't want to jinx us, but Jacob has been sleeping soooo good for about 2-3 weeks now. He's going to bed at 6:30p to 7:00p, and he sleeps until the next morning around 6:30a. He did wake up at 9:30p last night, crying, but I went and checked on him and no fever, no wet bed or anything. He settled back down and stopped crying. I don't think he ever actually woke up though. Maybe he had a bad dream?

Pictures of Jacob & Caitlin

Jacob meets Caitlin for the first time in 7 months...


At first, she's not too sure about him...


After much persistance on his part, she starts to warm up to him...



And, a little while later, even gives him a little peck on the cheek!


The truth is, this is about the 3rd kiss she gave him - we finally captured this one on film!

Easter!

Here's our picture from Easter. It was taken at my dad's house. We took Jacob to church. He did really well! He is now definitely crawling! I will post more later about our weekend! Happy Belated Easter!
