We're Here!

We made it to the beach. We left at about 9pm Saturday night and arrived at about 230am Sunday morning. It rained yesterday so after taking it easy in the morning and then taking a tour, we sat inside and waited for it to quit raining. We went swimming in the cold pool and Jacob's feet turned purple. Now we are rushing to fix breakfast (at 10am) and get out to the beach. There is a 60% chance of rain today, but only a 20% chance the rest of the week. I'll post pictures later today if it rains!

Swimming for the First Time

Aunt Juli

I love spending time with my Aunt Juli. She babysat me when mommy and daddy went out on a date for daddy's birthday. I like her a lot!

Bumbo

This thing is great! It is called a Bumbo (that is the brand; there are other types out there; this is just the one that was on sale). Jacob LOVES to sit and so we thought that he would really enjoy this. A therapist that Adam used to work with said that it is great to teach trunk control. Jacob enjoys it and will sit on the floor and watch tv. He is too cute. He looks like a little man in it!

watch out ladies...i'm a playa'

this is for miss hailey and possibly for the metzler baby if you are a girl:

dear hailey and maybe metzler baby girl,

Toofers!

Now a word from Jacob - I have teeth coming in! After an ear infections and lots and lots of chewing on my hands, I finally have made some progress. I really don't know what a tooth is, but mommy is really excited about seeing this thing in my mouth. She says that she can feel bumps on my gums (what is gums? I'm so confused about what mommy is talking about). She puts this stuff in my mouth that tastes funny and I try and spit it out, but it doesn't work and it kind of does make me feel better. I LOVE chewing on my keys (or anything else I can get in my mouth). I can kind of pick them up and put them in my mouth. See...

Ahhhhhh

Jacob slept! Normally, Jacob ends up in our bed on his belly sometime around 6am. He starts to stir and we can't get him to sleep soundly on his back around that time, so we put him on his belly and it works so well (kind of like flipping a gator on his back)! Last night was the first night since I can remember that he made it the entire night in his cradle! He stirred around 3am and Adam held him for just a min to settle him back down and then nothing, not a peep! Hip, hip hooray!

Side note: the air in my dad's house came back on and is working so good so far!
