3 Months and Counting!

-
Another month has flown by!  Jacob is 3 months old!  He's still growing (I think he's over 15 lbs now!) and is very alert & getting more interactive.  He grabs whatever touches his hands - ponytails are my new hairstyle of choice most days!    The holiday season is over, but we've still been keeping busy.  Here's the recent events in our lives.

My sister took some pictures of the boys when we were in SD a little over a week ago, so this will due for pictures for now.  I need to get some pictures taken this week now that his hair is finally cut.


While we were in SD, Jeff spoke in chapel at my old High School, Freeman Academy.  He talked about how God worked in his life from High School till now, helping him make decisions about where to go to college, what major to choose, and all those life choices that these students will soon be faced with.  God is ever present and always active in our lives, we just need to listen and look for the path He's laying out for us.  It's not usually what we expect, most of the time it's better! 
The month started out very warm for February.  I think it was almost 60* when we went for this walk.
The warm weather did not stay though, we had a heavy snow and couldn't resist going sledding with the college group from church.  And yes, we took Jacob.  The snowsuit was a little long (size 0-12 months), but it did the trick (thank you Kliewer cousins!).
The CUTEST snow angel you've ever seen!

Valentine's Day:  Jacob joined Jeff and I for our tradition of crab legs at home!

Jacob's first Haircut

Look at all the hair we cut off!
I tried to post the video of the haircut, but Jeff can't even get it to work for me.  Jacob wasn't crazy about the whole ordeal, Jeff could only distract him for so long...next time I'll stick him in front of the TV!

Black Beans In My Guitar

-
It'll be my first big hit and will sound strangely similar to Taylor Swift's "Teardrops on my guitar" because I'm not creative enough to be a songwriter..... Abby (the 3 year old I babysit a few times a week) loves to sing and she has a marvelous memory. She really likes when I start singing a song she doesn't know and keeps asking me to "sing it again!" Jacob really likes whenever I get my guitar out, especially if I let him play too, and so I thought it might be fun to bring it out and sing some of the old camp songs I haven't played since my summers on staff at SLCC (because college students and adults don't usually sing "If I were a butterfly" and other such fun little ditties). I told Abby my idea and asked if she would like that. "And what can I play," she asked? "Hmmm, that's a good question. How about I make you and Jacob and Mason little shakers?" "Yeah!!!" So I cut the wrapping pape...

6 month check-up

-
Jacob's 6 month well baby check-up was yesterday, so here's the stats! Weight: 18 lbs. 11 oz - 72nd% Height: 27.5 in. - 85th% He's finally slowing down the weight gain. Jacob was consistently gaining 2-3 lbs. every month, but this last month he's stayed about the same. She even weighed him twice on 2 different scales to make sure since I said he was 19.2 when I weighed him at home at the beginning of the month. I weighed him when we got home from the appointment (me holding him minus me not holding him) and our scale scale said he's 19.6 with his clothes and diaper on. So that gives me hope that MY weight is actually slightly less too! Ha, Ha! As long as my bridesmaid dress has to be altered we might as well size it down a little more, right Paula? :) I guess I'm the cautious first time parent, because when I take Jacob to his check-ups the nurses ask questions like they assume I've already given him solid foods and such. I just thought I had to get t...
