June 9, 2009 Jacob's Tricks

May 7, 2009 Jacob Turns 1!

Jacob's first birthday celebration started with a flight to Detroit. We went a week before his birthday, and he spent time with his family and had a big birthday party and a chocolate cupcake for the first time- most of it ended up in his hair! He got a lot of nice presents from friends and family. We also visited with some other friends and their kids...he did so great despite the fact that he was getting his upper front teeth. Poor kid!

While we were in Detroit I met up with some old school friends at an impromptu reunion. It was a lot of fun to see people and reconnect with some of my greatest old friends. I hope to keep in touch with some of these folks!

When Jacob and I returned home we had ANOTHER birthday party with daddy and a few friends and even MORE presents! What a lucky guy!

April 18, 2009 Easter Bunnies and Rhinos

Over Easter we went to an egg hunt in our neighborhood park. It was quite funny as Jacob didn't know what to make of it- I am pretty sure he enjoyed crawling in the grass much more than the specticle of the egg hunt. One thing is for sure- he took a liking to the bunny they gave him! Oh, and we FINALLY got Rhinoseros Face on video!

April 9, 2009 11 Month Old Tricks

It is quite difficult to take any photos or video Jacob these days...all he wants is the camera! But I've been able to compile some of my little monkey's tricks in a video. What we are missing here is 'waving hi', 'clap your hands', and everyone's favorite 'rhinoceros face'. Maybe he will perform those in the encore. We shall see!
