Father's Day

-
Because of my loving, hardworking, sacrificing husband, I am BLESSED to be able to stay home with our son every day and I am the happiest that I have EVER been in my life. Therefore, I think I am quite qualified to speak for Jacob when I say....

Dear Daddy,

You are the BESTEST daddy in the whole world! You are so silly, you make me laugh histarically (a big word for a 6 month old, I know)! You take such good care of me - you feed me yummy cereal and fruit and you understand that I don't like peas. You give me baths and play with me in the water - I love that! You change my diapers like a pro, even cloth ones! You let me sit on your shoulders and pull your hair - and help me pull the kitty's tail too! You push me in the stroller when we take walks with Mommy. You build me towers with blocks just so I can knock them over. You read me books at bedtime and make up songs to calm me when I'm upset - they make Mommy smile so big! But, Daddy, my favorite thing is how you love me, and teach me, and pray for me. God gave me the BESTEST daddy in the whole world, and I love you SOOOOO much!

Love,
Jacob


We spent Fathers Day with Jeff's parents and had so much fun talking and playing with them. Jeff and I always say that we are so thankful for both our own parents and parents-in-law. They have ALL always been supportive, available to help, never pushy, and always loving and praying. A big thank you to them, and especially our fathers, Rodney and Leon this Father's Day!




Jacob often laughs so hard & his little arms go flying out of excitement....thus Jeff's wincing expression. Jacob's blurred arm helps illustrate this re-occuring experience. :)

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...
