Invisible Cheerios: The fat-free, sugar-free, calorie-free snack!

A couple of months ago, DJ and I were sitting on the couch when Jacob came up to an empty plate on the coffee table and started eating invisible Cheerios (we think). Now, whenever you hold out your hand to him, he'll eat invisible Cheerios from your hand. He even two-fists them like he does with regular Cheerios!

Reason #548 for Why I'm Glad I Married DJ. . .

His mad technical skills.

Our DVD player went kaput a couple of weeks ago. After making sure everything was plugged in properly, it seemed that it was well and truly dead and we'd have to buy a new one. This was not an expense we needed at the moment. However, DJ performed surgery and got the thing working again. Apparently, the disc changer was out of alignment somehow and couldn't move. Hurray for handy husbands! He saves us a ton of money!

Last Halloween

These are two of my favorite pictures of DJ and I with Jacob. They were taken at our church's Harvest Festival last October. As you can see, the lion costume didn't last very long. Also, Jacob has WAY more hair now!

Teeth!

Any time Jacob gets overly fussy, I blame it on teething--even though he hasn't had a new tooth for nine months. I blame any problem he has on teething. He'll probably be sixteen and rebellious, and I'll say, "Well, he's probably teething." We've finally spotted new teeth coming in! He's got one, maybe two teeth coming in at the top. Here's Jacob showing off the two he's had since he was six months old. I was feeding him one day, and he just kept breaking out into this huge grin for no reason. It was hilarious!

Bath Time

Luckily, Jacob loves bath time. Hopefully this will continue!

An Update at Last!!!

Okay, I'm finally getting to work on this blog which we set up months ago. Many other friends have blogs and actually update them, so now I'm feeling guilty. You may ask, "If all my friends jumped off a bridge, would I do that too?" Well, I had a chance to jump off a bridge with friends, and I didn't do it and I've regretted it ever since. But that's a story for another time.

For any who may not know, we are on the North Carolina coast, with one 15 month old son, Jacob and another boy on the way in November. Jacob is, of course, the impetus for starting this blog in the first place. It'll be an easy way for family and friends to keep up with us if I can keep up with it!

The above picture is Jacob's first experience in a ball pit. He was in hog heaven and everytime I took him out, he immediately scrambled over to get back in.

Bah bah bah?

We've all had that crazy-hard day at work when everything goes wrong and your clients love to call and let you know about it.

Jacob to the rescue!

Your mileage may vary, but this video never fails to bring a smile to my face. You might need to play it a couple of times to catch all of the subtle nuances.
