A Whole Lotta Blog...

Well, we are sporadic bloggers for you - weeks of nothing, then a big blog like this. Chris picked an assortment all the way back from Christmas up till now...

We hosted both sets of grandparents over Christmas (plus 4 dogs...), and if you look at the picture below, you can clearly see that Jacob was not at all spoiled this, his first Christmas home with us.

Here is Jacob, nestling in with a good book into his new chair he got from Great Aunt Jan & Great Uncle Mike.

One of Jacob's favorite gifts was a stocking stuffer from Paw Paw and Bushe - his very own tube of chapstick, so he can be just like his Daddy! Only, he kept reapplying it over, and over, and over again!

Grandpa Willie, a well-know afficianado of duck tape, got the award for receiving the most creatively wrapped gift!


Much to my dismay, as well as to the rest of our entire family, all Cardinals fans, my parents (trying to be the cool in-laws) gave Chris an assortment of Cubs paraphenalia for Christmas... (don't worry, since Christmas, an equal amount of Cardinals items have been purchased so as to balance out)

Here is Jacob, enjoying a ride on Daddy's shoulders.


We've had a lot of snow here in Michigan since Christmas. Luckily, Jacob is very good with a snow shovel... and a snowblower!

We've been continuing to try and keep potty training in Jacob's mind... (but as you can see, the newly purchased potty ring wasn't in his mind - it was ON his mind!) ha ha



Here are pictures of Jacob with Paw Paw and Bushe from their recent visit this past week.



Here are some videos I took of Jacob recently - Chris has edited them down. Jacob is really turning into quite the talker, so I was thrilled when he cooperated on video and sang some of his favorite tunes!

Loved the videos! It's great to see some of Jacob's personality, and to hear him talking! =)
