The Kid's New Rooms--------video

Here are Callie's and Jakobe's new rooms. Jakobe's room is pretty much all done except for nothing is on his walls yet. We still have some work to do to Callie's. We think the rooms turned out perfectly!!!

Fireworks!!! ---video

Jakobe loved watching the fireworks on the 4th of July!!! He even got to do his own sparklers!

Note: Keep an eye out toward the end of the video. The firework made a loud noise and scared the crap out of all of us! It was pretty funny. Jakobe even jumps too.

17 months old!

Jakobe is 17 months old. It's hard to believe. He weighs 22 lbs. He has 12 teeth. Some new words this month: 'Bubbles', 'Up', 'Thank You' and 'Baby'. He loves to play peek-a-boo. He will put a blanket over his face and remove it quickly. He also does 'Strongman'. We will say 'strongman' and Jakobe will go 'grrrrrr' and make fists like he is flexing. I will also ask Jakobe 'Where is baby?' He will lift up my shirt, point to my stomach and say 'baby'. It's so cute. Although he still has no idea what baby means nor does he realize what he is for in about 3 months when his new sister comes home. One other thing this month is that he got moved up to the next room at daycare. This is a big step. He now only has one nap a day instead of two. He naps on a mat instead of in a crib and he eats at a table not in a high chair. He seems to be doing really well in his new room. It has been a big adjustment from his old room but he is doing great. He loves his teachers and his new friends.

Playing some basketball with daddy.
It's breakfast time. We bought this booster seat for him so we didn't have to bring a high chair. He just sat on the floor and watched his DVD's. It was perfect.
We had a great time on vacation. We had only a couple really nice days. Being on the water it was pretty chilly for July. We had to find a lot of indoor things to do. Jakobe did a really good job and I'm glad to say did not take off toward the water once. Next year will be completely different when we have 2 kids with us. My mom was there this year and was a huge helping hand. It was great to be on vacation with her again.
