Video time

I've uploaded two fun videos from the past week or so.

First, here's Jacob laughing as Mom makes goofy noises at him.



Second, here is a demonstration of Jacob's prowess with water! He loves the stuff and has figured out how to drink it any way he can--sucking it out of a washcloth, sippy cup, glass or straw. We were amazed when we tried him with a straw--he figured it out on his first try!

Hangin' Around the House in Summertime

I've uploaded some random pictures from the last few weeks of Jacob doing cute things. He is progressing so fast right now; a few days ago he could only sit up for thirty seconds at a time or so, and now he can sit up for as long as he wants. And he has been rolling back and forth for months, but he's finally getting the idea that rolling equals mobility, and if he sees something out of reach, he might actually try to go get it. Now it's still pretty likely that he'll go in the wrong direction, or that he'll roll on top of his target and cry, but just the fact that he's put all the pieces of the puzzle together is exciting.

Anyway, on to the pictures.

Six month portraits

Jacob got his six-month portraits today and they came out great!

Please, don't rush out and order prints of these—we've got you covered big time. We ordered lots of sheets. Just tell us which ones you want and they are yours.

Summer Fun

I've posted a new batch of pictures for everyone to enjoy... it's just us, hanging around the house, playing with toys:

Summer Vacation

We visited both sets of grandparents for the 4th of July—here are some of the highlights. Like Jacob playing with a beer keg.

The Exersaucer!

Not sure if that's how it's spelled, but Jacob sure finds it fascinating:

Maestro!

Jacob has learned to play the piano. What a talented kid!
