Mr. Potato Head
Monday, January 29, 2007




Ryan and I went grocery shopping yesterday and came across a Mr. Potato Head! It was regularly $12.00 and we were able to get it for half that on sale. I was very pleased. I was thinking we should wait and give it away for a birthday gift or a gift for some occasion but this, it was a random splurge I guess. We thought it would be a great idea considering Jacob knows most of his body parts already. I will usually draw a face on a piece of paper and he will point to the eyes and say eye, then to the nose and say no (his way of saying nose) then to the mouth, and he says mou. and so on. The packaging said from ages 2 and up but Jacob is always learning and will be two in 3 months so why not. He loves pointing to all the parts and saying what they are. I find it amazing watching him learn. He still blows me away sometimes.

Jacob Being Cute
Friday, January 26, 2007

Well, here is my first post about Jacob on his new link! I thought since I have met so many great people on the blog I would share some of his earlier days since I figured many of you haven't seen these pictures. Especially when I didn't start blogging till Jacob was several months old. This is also his first post, so why not go back in time and share a couple of firsts. I will resume with my current posts soon!

*click image for larger view* Jacob's first laundry basket ride. I don't know anyone who hasn't enjoyed one of those! Jacob was about 5 months old here.

*click image for larger view* Jacob's first bus ride in town where Ryan was finishing his undergrad.

*click image for larger view* Jacob's first sledding experience. I wanted to post this picture seeing as it is winter now.....now snow yet....this time last year....quite a little difference don't you think? He kept taking his mittens off. He had fun going down the hill but didn't enjoy being cold. Don't worry we didn't stay out long....I know the picture says a thousand words but Mama's lookin after him :)

*click image for larger view* Jacob's first steps. He was a very early walker and started walking fully at the mid - end of his 9th month.
