Favorite Things

Many, many months ago I did a post about Jacob's favorite things. Of course, at the time these included his jumperoo and playmat! Now that he's truly a little boy, his favorite things have certainly changed and are becoming much more prominent!!

18 Month Appointment

Jacob went to see Dr. Frank today for his 18 month appointment. We talked a lot about his picky eating and are going to start vitamins until he begins eating more fruits and veggies. He was due for a vaccine today, but we pushed it back to his 2 year appointment because he's been sick this week and is still on breathing treatments. That made for a much happier appointment! As far as his growth, here are his current stats:

Weight: 25 pounds- 33%
Height: 33 3/4 in- 81%
Head: 19 1/4 in- 76%

4th of July Recap

We had such a wonderful day celebrating our country's birthday yesterday! The day began with the Plano 4th of July parade with Mim and Poppa. Mim and Poppa live very close to the parade route, so we were able to just walk to the intersection where the parade would end. Jacob loved looking at all the cars and trucks, especially the fire engine!!

Waving the flag with Mim

During the parade, they passed out American flags and Jacob wanted to hold all three at once!

After the parade, we went back to Mim and Poppa's house and spent the remainder of the morning and much of the afternoon in the pool. When Jacob woke up from his nap, he helped Poppa make homemade ice cream for our evening dessert and even got the first taste! Yum! We spent the rest of the day at Uncle Andy and Auntie Catherine's house playing, eating, and enjoying family. At the end of the day we were all pleasantly full from all the yummy food and worn out from a fun holiday!

Our patriotic family!

Happy Independence Day!

We hope everyone has a healthy and happy 4th of July!!

18 Month Pictures

Here are just a few pictures from Jacob's 18 month photo shoot on Saturday. They all turned out so amazingly well, it was difficult to choose just a few to share! We had such a fun time having pictures taken by Auntie Catherine, who has just started up a photography business. Check her out at Snips N Snails Photography!
