Jake and Mattie Sittin' in a Tree

Jacob has his first (and hopefully last) girlfriend, Matelyn Vietti.  She is very cute and sweet so mom and dad already like her.  

In this photo Mattie is making a move, but Jake isn't ready to commit...typical man!

Naked Baby

Who doesn't love a naked baby?  Sorry Jake...I know this is embarrassing, but you have a cute toosh!  (I wonder who you got that from?)

Here is Jake waiting to eat in his high chair...

Yes, we are those first time parents!

Jake ate rice cereal for the first time on 2/16. As all first time parents do, we documented the event with great enthusiasm.

He could hardly see over the table on the high chair. This picture says it all.

Jacob the Giggler

Jacob loves to giggle! Sometimes he giggles at absolutely NOTHING. He has been cracking himself up since he was 2 months old. Check out this video and to answer Candace's question at the end of the video, no, he was not about to poop.

PS - A special thanks to Candace and Conan who came over on Saturday night and made us a Valentines dinner. IT WAS AMAZING!

WHAT?...he WAS the first baby!

For those of you that don't know us (which is very few to zero people reading this blog)...Zorro was the first child in our family.  It is true.  You don't have to accept it if you don't like it.  And if you don't believe me...his t-shirt proves it.  

Insert Cynical Blogger Here

Okay...I am that person that thought of blogs as one more way to indulge the American public into continuing to think that each person had something wonderful, special and important to say. Something that made them special. We are such an individualistic culture and value our differences and how we are each unique...blah, blah, blah. Blogs just add to this phenom. And trust me,...NOT everyone has something great to say! But alas,...now I get it. The cynical blogger has been transformed...blogs are a way to share information about what is going on in your lives with loved ones that aren't near by. Enter stage right...the Happy Blogger. And to share my bloggin joy with the world...her is another picture of Jacob.

Squeaker toys for babies...

Andy was playing with Zorro, squeezing his toy and throwing it.  As you will see Jacob loved it!

Ummm...how does this work?

Yea, I am trying to jump on the blogging bandwagon that it seems every new mom does.  The real reason is so that Jacob's Grandparents who live in Ohio can keep up with him a bit more.  It makes us sad they don't get to see him more often, but they will be here in February!  We are all very excited!
