Matthew's First Word!

Matthew wrote his first word today. He did it 100% on his own. I'm so proud of him. These are the only two letters he can write. Today we started working on T so that we can work towards writing his name. Here's his first word - it's the same as his first word he spoke ;)

Jacob on the Move

Jacob is getting close to walking. He, just yesterday, started walking with only holding on to one hand. He just started using his walker too. Here he is in motion.
Please excuse our bad parenting with the cord and outlet he walks by...we just teach him to leave it alone, and he does.

Here is Jacob with his 11 month shot. It's getting harder and harder to get him to sit still!


And here he is kissing the baby in the picture (him!)



And here is the escape artist at work...

Jacob Makes Some Friends

Over the weekend we had a wonderful visit with my brother and his family in Ann Arbor, Michigan. We made a stop at the Hands On Museum in down town Ann Arbor. Jacob made some friends while we were there. Here are some pictures of their little party.

Where have we been???

I'm starting to hear from a lot of people that it's time to update the blog...sorry for the long absence from the blogging world. David teases me that the purpose of the blog is to keep him up to date with what we do during the day while he's at work. Since he's been home, I haven't had a need to blog. Makes sense, right? So in order to avoid spending hours back blogging, I created a kodak gallery slideshow to show you what we've been up to. I did some captions, but, again, I didn't want to spend forever doing it. The slideshow wouldn't let me put things in order, for some reason. Sorry if it gets confusing. It's kind of long - you might want to go pop some popcorn or order some pizza. Or, don't watch it :)

Summer 2009

I'll be better at blogging now...promise ;)
