The Cousins

Since Rob and Stephanie have been so busy with Liam, it took some time for them to get around to distributing the photos of my trip there in October. So finally we have a photo of Jacob and Liam together! You can see that Jacob is reaching out to touch Liam's hand (with a little help from his Mama).

Baby's First Swim

Jacob had his first swim today in the Parent-Tot class at the Paul Derda Recreation Center. Our swim teacher Dawn said we needed to wait another month before we try putting his head under water, but we had fun gliding around, kicking, and bouncing in the water.

I anticipate many fun times in the future swimming at the rec center. Daddy is very excited to join us next time.

Baby's First Food

Today was a BIG day for little Jacob. He had his first rice cereal, most of which ended up on his face and not in his mouth. But it gave him a chance to taste something new (other than mama's milk) and see how it felt in his mouth.

He also rolled for the first time from his stomach to his back during tummy time. And he managed to replicate this feat twice to prove that it wasn't a total fluke :)

Tomorrow is his first swim lesson...stay tuned!

Celebrating President Obama!

The momentous day has come and gone, and we now have the enduring legacy of having elected President Barack Obama! We are so proud to have done our part in the effort by volunteering as Obama precinct captains in the democratic primary and at the local Broomfield Obama office in the general election.

Jacob too did his part inspiring the volunteers by his cuteness in his Obama onesie.

Jacob's First Halloween

Jacob had two looks for his first Halloween celebration. There's the My First Halloween outfit and his baby lobster costume. Special shout out to the Gaddis family for the costume.

He got to show off his outfits to all the trick or treaters and to our neighbors the Sosas.
