Best Friends

Last night, our good friends from church, Chris and Mary, came over with their little boy Bren. We are so blessed to have them as friends and since the boys are only two months apart, we're going through the same things in life right now!! It was a fun time of visiting and relaxing and the boys are starting to get used to one another.

This is a picture of Mary and I, probably in late August or early September. The boys were already friends!!

With our sweet little guys!

The boys in their matching Ralph Lauren outfits that they're going to hate us for one day. They weren't really sure what to think of each other at this point.

I look forward to watching the boys grow up together and be real friends and I'm sure there will be more matching outfits to come!

Let it Snow!!!

Jacob experienced his first snowfall the other day. He got all bundled up (thanks, Mim!) and went outside for a few short minutes. All was well until a cold gust of wind blew in his face (see the second picture).

Family Resemblance???

Nathan's parents sent these pictures of him as a baby, he's roughly the age of Jacob right now. Do you see any similarities??

Jacob's Favorite Things

It's funny how our little boy is already developing a personality along with likes and dislikes. Here are just a few of his favorite things.

Dancing along with the music on his playmat

Jacob's favorite place to be is perched up high so he can look around at all the fun stuff!

Happy Two Month Birthday!!!

It's hard to believe that our little boy is already two months old! Time has really flown by and we are enjoying every minute with our precious little Jacob.

Jacob had a very busy birthday. The morning started with the obligatory photo shoot with Mommy. Afterwards, he went to Mommy's school and met many of her work friends. He loved all the attention!!

In the afternoon, Jacob had his 2 month appointment with Dr. Frank including his s-h-o-t-s. Mommy was so anxious she couldn't eat lunch!!! He did really well and eased Mommy's mind for next time.

Jacob now weighs 10 pounds 6 ounces (21%) and is 23 1/2 inches long (66%).

After the incident on Valentine's Day, Jacob isn't too sure of Mommy's picture taking abilities!!

Blissfully unaware of the trauma to come.

Jacob likes this vaccine!!
Poor baby boy!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Jacob's very first Valentine's Day started out like any other, a fresh diaper and a meal. Afterwards, Courtney put him in his Valentine's Day onesie and bib Mim and Poppa had bought him and prepared for a photo shoot. She soon discovered that he was not interested in sitting still and smiling for the camera! The photo shoot ended with a little drama, but all is well.

Note: No babies were injured in the making of this video.

Jacob's Big Day

Yesterday was a very busy day for Jacob! He was so excited to go to Mommy and Daddy's Sunday School class for the first time and bring his Bible Mim and Poppa got him for his dedication. Jacob will start going to Joyland, the baby program at church, after he has his shots but for now was happy to join Mommy and Daddy.

On Sunday evening, Jacob went to his very first Super Bowl Party. He loved seeing all his friends from church and enjoying the game with Daddy. He even had a special outfit to celebrate the occasion!!
