New pics

I promised new pictures of Jacob. He went to his first birthday party this weekend and I managed to get a few in of him and his mommy.

Wow...

I do have new Jacob pictures to share but tonight I have (via Suzanne) discovered something very powerful. Su was watching Oprah today and there was a feature on a young couple who had a child two years ago with Triscenomy 18. Below is a small piece of Eliot's story. I must warn you...you will not make it 45 seconds without crying. If you watch it twice, you will cry harder. However, I assure you the video will make you forget about the economy, who's going to be president, and/or any personal issues you are currently facing. I only wish I had 1% of this couple's strength and am truly and surprisingly at a loss for words after watching the video and viewing their blogs and reading their words.



I have included Eliot's blog under the "our friends" category over to the right.
By the way, the couple has a healthy new baby and a new blog, which you can link from the original.

Pumpkin Patch

Jacob has already become quite the ladies man (much like his father back in college). He went with his two girlfriends--Lucy and Reece--to the pumpkin patch today.

As you can see, the trio was not quite sure what to think of the situation and they have quickly learned that Halloween can be a very scary time in one's life.

Also, you can see that Jacob has learned the art of pouting. It's amazing that he has only seen his Pops twice in his young life and already they pout alike!

More pics

I guess it should be fair for me to post some of the goings on in Jacob's life at this stage.

1.) He is cooing like crazy.

2.) He let out his first giggle last night.

3.) He still is not a very good sleeper.

4.) He is becoming intrigued with his hands, especially when it involves going in our mouth.

Here are some more pictures from our photoshoot the other day.

3 month milestone

Hard to believe, but Jacob is 3 months old today!!! Suzanne and I took a deep breath over the weekend and also took him out to the Lakefront for a good old fashioned photoshoot. I have many, many favorite pics, I will try to spread some out over the next few days since my posts have been lacking lately. In another milestone he slept in his crib for the first time last night. What a bittersweet moment that was! Enjoy...

Bedtime Story

The three of us are working diligently on a bedtime routine, which obviously includes a story.

I am proud to say that Jacob slept nine hours straight last night, and as you can see, we put much effort into our story. Hopefully, the hard work is paying off, 99.95 percent of the credit goes to Suzanne.

Long time, no post

Way too much going on here with recessions, drool, etc. Here are a couple of pics to tide everyone over! Much is changing and when I get 1.5 seconds to breathe, I'll provide a fun update!


If you want to know what I've been doing in my spare time, well here you go...much thanks to David Cummings and Nicole Parnell among others for their guidance!
