Ferris Wheel fun

Everytime we go to my parents house (numerous times a week) Jacob sees the new waterfront Ferris Wheel out the car window and asks to ride it. So one sunny weekend day we did just that. The line was short and the sun was out, what more could you ask for? Jacob was so excited to see the bouys in the water under us "just like in my bouy book". He wasn't excited by the boats in the water or the planes in the sky just the bouys. After the ferris wheel Jacob and Marc rode on the carousel. It went really fast so it was hard for me to get a picture of him :)

5 months old

Jocelyn is learning to sit up, eating food, and watching EVERYTHING her big brother does. She is still very happy and laughs alot. She loves to be outside and watch the trees and feel the wind. We think she is pretty cute!
It's getting harder to take her picture with the sign now that she is moving so much! She keeps kicking it or pulling it :)

Look who's eating!

Jocelyn has started eating "solid foods". She loves sitting at the table and eating with the family. So far she has had rice and oatmeal cereal, peas, pears, peaches, and prunes. Hmmm, all foods that start with P. Jacob has been cracking her up and she sits across the table from him and watches him eat and laughs and laughs. It's very cute!
Cereal with milk, such a treat.
Corn ON the cob for the first time.

Jacob turns 2

Okay so we are horrible parents and have basically zero pictures of his birthday! I am hoping my dad took some... I made Jacob a construction cake and we had a family party with lots of presents (a glide bike, tools, and sports gear were among the favorites) and food. The next day we had a few of his/my friends over for muffins and playing. Jacob is TWO! He knows what he wants and tells us. He is super chatty, talking all day and narrating everything we are doing. He also asks a ton of questions like "what are we talking about" and "what does... mean". Jacob is very into sports and loves hitting the wiffle ball, tackling with the football, and playing tennis on the courts. We have started doing some "school" while Jocelyn is taking her first nap. We are learning letters and he is very proud to show his Daddy his new letter on the wall when Marc gets home from work.

Way Behind and 4 months old

I guess we have been busy, or too lazy to upload photos. Either way we are so far behind in posting pictures. So here we go with the 4 month old photos
"what did I do?" That is a question we hear when Jacob has done something he knows he shouldn't have done and we haven't noticed yet. I turned around from taking Jocelyn's pictures and saw that he has emptied a tissue box. He wanted me to see what he had done. So proud!
