This post should really be like 4 or 5. Oh, well. Here goes. It's LONG...
Nana and Papa came to visit for several days last weekend. We finally got to show them "the new house" as Jacob still calls it. Of course, we put Papa to work almost immediately with a number of "fix-it, please" items, which he totally rocked on. Everything from building a gate, building a canopy, building and installing shelves, hanging lattice, and many other things. Jacob, of course, wanted to help with everything, so Nana and I were busy coming up with things to keep Jacob out of the way as much as possible. Jacob got to learn how to use the apple peeler-corer-slicer to help Nana make pie, and play in his freshly filled sandbox.
Aaron has had the biggest changes in the last couple of weeks. Not only did he start crawling 2 weeks ago (yes, at only 6.5 months, he began army crawling), but then 4 days later, he began popping out teeth. In 7 days' time, he cut his first 4 teeth! Of course, of the many pictures, there is not a single one of his little teeth, yet, but we'll get one soon. He is getting pretty adventuresome already as he discovers his new world, and so John has been working like crazy to get the gates installed. We finally got the last one up tonight.
Nana and Papa left on Monday, and then Grandma and Grandpa stopped by to visit this morning. Aaron got a new hat:
So did Jacob. But I don't have any pictures of Jacob with his hat.
Jacob and Grandpa (and Daddy, too) played a little pinball on the playstation and Jacob and Grandma drew some pictures.
During the past week, Jacob also decided he wanted to learn how ice was made.
Jacob really wants to help feed Aaron. We let him help with water.
And he wants you to know that watching tv is always better with a dustpan and brush set.
And of course, one more picture of Aaron, because he's so darn cute!
