Ba....ba....

I saved these two pictures from the beach for a very special day. For those who don't know, pops turns 60 today! He will be so very proud to know that his grandson consistantly says ball (or ba) and very much enjoys picking it up and throwing it! I must say he's already got a pretty good arm! And as of now, he's right handed but we know that can all change. Happy birthday pops! And a special wish to the Heberts, who celebrate an anniversary on this day.

Water Babies

Jacob has been participating in an event that I--his father--was scared to do up until about fifth grade. That is swimming! Suzanne enrolled him in a water babies class at our local gym, in which he goes every Thursday. These pictures were taken by the Richardson's, the parents of Jacob's girlfriend Reece. If you think I am joking, please take note of the big wet one he plants on her in the middle of the water. I have also included a shot of Mitchell Plauche so that you can see how he is progressing. I like calling him 'Lil Spike (notice his hair, even while wet!)

Dunked for the first time

Ladies man!

Fun in the sun

Beach Buzz

As usual, it has taken me much longer than it should to get pictures on the blog. We have been back from the beach since Sunday. Despite Jacob waking up between 2:30 and 4:30 every morning, it was a fun trip! Jacob is changing so much every second it seems. I am going to try to make an effort one night to actually update some of his "achievements." I have saved one picture for later this week to illustrate. Meantime, enjoy these scenes from Destin.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Smartness

Video evidence that our son's brain is developing. He is starting to pick up more and more on what we're saying to him as evidenced by this video. The family is currently at the beach. I have been working but am headed there tomorrow. Do not feel too sorry for me; my choice, and it was probably the most productive work week in a long time! I look forward to posting pictures upon our return.
