Budding Artist

Jacob just LOVES to draw and paint on the easel he got from Mim and Poppa!

Caught!

Jacob and I stayed home today from MDO because I've been sick for the past few days. His lunch was all packed and ready to go on the kitchen counter (ready for lunchtime at home I suppose!). After a few minutes away from me, I walked into the kitchen to find the sight below...I guess he's tall enough to reach on top of the counters now! He had a grand 'ole time digging into his favorite Veggie Booty!

Two Year Pictures

A few weeks ago we met Auntie Catherine near the Frisco Heritage Museum for Jacob's two year photos. It's was a beautiful and clear morning, but freezing cold! Jacob was such a trooper and LOVED seeing the steamtrain and caboose upclose and personal! Of course, we had to bring along Jacob's best friend, Puppy, who made an appearance in several of the photos.
Here are just a few of our favorite pictures. Enjoy!

Our Big Boy!

The fact that Jacob is no longer a baby has become quite clear to us lately. I suppose he'll always be our baby, which we can take great comfort in! He is growing and learning each and every day and it's just a joy to experience!
Now that he's two, Jacob's vocabulary is really expanding and he's beginning to put words into simple sentences. He knows all of his shapes and looooves finding the sun and moon in books! Jacob has really started to enjoy singing songs like "Twinkle, twinkle" and "The B-I-B-L-E" and now eats dinner at the table with Momma and Daddy! The most impressive thing Jacob has done recently is to go pee-pee in the potty! We don't feel that he's completely ready to potty train, but each night before bath he sits on the big potty and we have a little celebration! We know that as the weeks and months progress he'll continue to learn more and we are just having so much fun on this journey together!

Happy New Year from the Naked Chef!

We hope everyone had a healthy and happy New Year! We're still trying to wrap our heads around the fact that it's twenty-ten!

Our little family had a nice, quiet New Year's Eve spent at Uncle Andy and Auntie Catherine's house. Jacob enjoyed lots of playtime with Cousin Brady and even had a special celebratory dinner of Captain Crunch cereal (hey, it was a holiday!).

One of Jacob's favorite toys from Santa is his new blue kitchen. He'll run to it and yell "Cook! Cook!". It's really the cutest thing! He also has a new trick, taking off his clothes, and has gotten quite stealthy at it! On more than one occasion, we'll go in his room to get him up in the morning and there he'll be, in just his diaper with pjs discarded on the floor!

So...from our "Naked Chef" to you-may this new year bring joy, laughter, and peace!
