My First Thanksgiving and such....

Mom took some pictures of me earlier in November and so they are below. I am really growing fast!! Mom took me to the doctor 11/30 for my 2 month check up. That is ahead. But first...



Starting to smile at Mom









Mom is always taking pictures







My Mom can always get me to smile, she makes funny faces






Check out my baseball outfit. Mom put shoes on me too! They are pretty cool.











I am really getting to like my bouncy chair. I don't get hiccups much anymore in it. Sometimes I take a nap even.


THANKSGIVING
Mom, Dad and I started on the road around 7:30am on 11/21/07 to go to Grandma and Grandpa Bradley's house. It took us just under 10 hrs to get there. I did pretty good. I slept alot, Mom fed me while Dad drove. We stopped a few times too so I could get my diaper changed and stretch out. Plus, Toivo and Zed needed to go potty as well. We took them with us because it was going to be in the 10 degree mark outside for the holiday weekend and we didn't want to leave them outside the whole time. We arrived around 5:15pm. I was a little fussy and only wanted Mom to hold me. I slept ok after the first night. Mom, Grandma and I went shopping on Black Friday. That was interesting. I slept most of it. I got to meet my cousin Heather, her friend, and my great uncle Ed for brunch. They were very nice.

He are just a couple of pics from the weekend. Grandma B has more, but hasn't sent them yet.

Like my camo? That's for Dad.









MOM RETURNS TO WORK/MY CHECKUP
Mom returned to work this week on Tuesday. I got to stay home with Dad. We had a good time. I didn't cry much for Dad. Mom said returning to work wasn't bad, but she tells me every day that she misses me. I also turned 2 months old on Wednesday. Friday was my checkup and my first shots. I didn't like the shots too much, but Mom was there to comfort me and that was good. I also grew another inch. So I am now 23 3/4 " long, my head is 29 3/4, and I weigh a whopping 13 lbs 14.4 oz!!! The doctor said we could switch to a less expensive formula so I don't eat Mom and Dad out of house and home. The doctor says I may start on solids early if I keep growing this fast. I am also slmost sleeping through the night, about 5 hrs at a time. Mom and Dad hope I sleep just a little more soon. I will try.

Here are a few pics of the snow we have been gettng slammed with.

Dad put up the Christmas Tree. Mom decorated it. I get to look at it. I love the lights. I am glad I will have Daddy home for Christmas since it is my first. Mommy is really glad because she and Dad have never spent a Christmas together ever. That includes when they dated. So this is a special year. I may get to see my Uncle Nate who is on leave from Iraq and Aunt Kim if they can come up from Texas. If not, at least he will be with Aunt Kim and my cousins Teresa and Nicole.


Here is the last pic of the day. Mom took this earlier today. I was taking a nap. Dad dressed me in one of my many Christmas/winter outfits.

Mom promises to take more pics and get them on here sooner. I kind of haven't made it too easy for her or Dad. But I am getting better at it. Happy Holidays!! Love you all. Jacob
