Fun in Spokane

We made it to Spokane with only a few stops along the way. We were so excited to stay with my dear college roommate Ellie, her husband Jeff, and their two adorable kids, Gracie, and Josh. We knew Jacob would love "playing" with the big kids. Gracie is almost 3 and Joshy is 1. We also got to have a crazy fun dinner with the Van Sickle family Friday night.








Notice the progression of Jacob seeing Kai's hair, to pulling it, and Kai crying. Sorry Kai!!

We had a wonderful trip! It was so fun to stay with the Lochheads and hang out. Marc even let Ellie and I out without babies for a little girl time. Dinner with the Van Sickle family was an added bonus. Spokane was so fun, we might brave the drive again soon.

I have been missing out!

This is what Jacob must have been thinking when he got to come up to the front seat at the rest stop on the way to Spokane. He took one look around, got a huge smile on his face and was in heaven. All the buttons and knobs not to mention the steering wheel. After he nursed he got to play for a while. So much fun!!





Watch out Lochheads. With Jacob at the wheel we will be there in no time!!!

Jake is 8 months old

I can't believe Jacob is 8 months old already! He is a good sleeper at night, not so much for naps. Lately naps have been about 20 minutes, hardly a nap really. Jake still loves to eat. If we put him in his chair at the table and don't immediately have food he will bang his hand on the table and yell to us to bring his food. He loves to inspect things, his toys, people's hair, sweat shirt string, etc. He laughs easily and talks to everyone. He looks like he is getting ready to crawl and just got his first tooth. He is a very sweet little boy and gives lots of hugs and kisses.





Thanks to my Dad for this fun photo shoot!

Slam Dunk!

Jake's basketball skills are improving. He can dunk and take the ball back out of the hoop, something many NBA players can't even do. The basketball hoop continues to be a favorite toy and is usually saved for when Daddy comes home from work.

So tired

We didn't realized the baby bjorn was so comfortable. Marc brought a sleeping baby back from the morning walk.

A dentist??

Maybe Jacob is so fascinated with his Daddy's mouth because he got his first tooth. Or maybe he will be dentist. Either way he is into checking out mouths.



After he inspects the mouth he has to kiss and eat his Daddy's head.



Jacob is very happy to play with his Daddy. He LOVES him!

Chatter box

It seems like Jacob will take after his mom and be a chatter box. He babbles alot. So far at almost 8 months no words but he does have "converstations". He is happy to "talk" to anyone who will talk to him, at the store, on walks, everywhere!

Why do babies love boxes?

Marc got the great idea to put Jacob in the box his highchair came in. He had fun playing inside!

Water baby

Awesome hair style!



How cozy to have Marc warm him up with a heater after his bath!

Who's hair does he have?

Everyone always asks "who does he look like?". Well we have a new question. Who's hair does he have? Jacob's hair is very interesting! He has his mom's curls on top and his dad's straight hair on the sides and back. We are wondering what it will end up like. Check it out!
