Jacob Holding his Head Up High

I know...two posts in one day...but I couldn't resist posting this photo of Jacob that I took last week.

Some things to point out here are that he's wearing a sweater that his Nana Judie knit for him, and he's sitting up with his head held high in his Bumbo chair. This chair is great for giving babies a head start in sitting up; he loves it. Pretty soon he'll be sitting in it for his first bites of rice cereal..stay tuned.

My Nephew Liam

This weekend Jacob and I got to meet my nephew Liam in Eugene, Oregon. Here is the little cutie all dressed up in his halloween attire at 3 weeks old. I'm thinking he does look a bit like my brother Rob, at least in the hairline. :)

It was a bit of a hectic time since I had my hands full taking care of 4 month old Jacob completely on my own for 3 days and 2 airplane flights. So it was definitely nice to get everyone together (minus Paul), but I'm glad to be home.

The next time we all get together this summer in New York, both little boys will be much bigger and hopefully playing together!

Back to VA

This month we went back to Virginia for the first time as a family since Paul and I moved to Colorado in 2007. The impetus for our trip was the wedding of my good friend Kristen Dunne in Leesburg on October 10. It was a beautiful wedding and we were so excited to be able to be there to celebrate with Kristen and Walter. Being in VA, we also got to visit with lots of other friends and introduce them to our little peanut.

And as an extra special bonus, Jacob got to see Grandpa David and Grandma Jacquie who came down from NY to spend time with him and babysit while we were at the wedding. There were so many terrific photos which I've posted on Facebook, but this one with Grandpa and Grandma is just too sweet.

Announcing Liam Jennings Inerfeld

Paul and I are so excited to welcome our first nephew and Jacob's first cousin Liam! He came as quite a surprise on October 5 since his due date wasn't until November 15, so he was a month and a half early. Though he's a premie, Liam is a healthy baby boy at 5 lbs 6 oz and 18 inches long. He's currently being monitored in the NICU and hopefully will be going home soon.

The coolest part is that Jacob and I were already scheduled to visit Rob and Stephanie at the end of October. Now we'll get to meet Liam while we're there!
