First, we took a trip to Grandma and Grandpa Bradley's for Father's Day weekend. It was a 9 1/2 hr trip, but Jacob did great. We got to visit for a couple of hours with our friends Darci and Mike and their girls Lindsay and Audrey. Audrey is a one week younger than Jacob. We also got to see Aunt Susan, cousins Amber, Cory, Alysa, Brooklyn, Gage, and Alaynna. Jacob got to go swimming for the first time too. We didn't get our pool up this year because the weather hasn't been consistently warm and Lake Superior isn't exactly a nice temperature yet. Jacob also got to see Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Westbrook for a quick visit before heading out of town. On the way back upnorth, we had to stop by our house in Traverse City to meet with our renters, but of course they dodged us. So we then went to visit with Kristen and Adam and little Zachary for a bit in Kalkaska before heading up to Mackinaw City for the night. We did a little shopping and then headed back home Monday morning.
Pete went in for a hernia repair this past Monday and is doing great. He gets to be lazy for a while and will go back to work in about 6 weeks.
Today, Jacob turned 9 months old!!! So we have tons of pictures to show, including his professional pics. Oh, and he is going to be a big brother come end of January-February. Yes, we are expecting Tormala #2. We are very excited and can't wait. Anyway, here are pics since our last blog. Take care.
Jacob laughing, he loves playing on the floor.
On of our strolls when the weather was nice! We have to take advantage of these days. Jacob's day care takes a lot of walks so that's great.

Jacob is really wanting to be mobile. He is scooting a lot both on belly and sitting, but we think he may skip crawling. We have been walking with him holding his hands a lot.
Our long truck ride to Grandma and Grandpa Bradley's for Father's Day weekend. He travels really well.

Jacob's first swimming experience. He wasn't sure at first because the water was a little cold, but he got used to it. I think he liked it.
Daddy wouldn't get in though. He thought it was too cold.

Jacob and Zachary, his friend that lives in Kalkaska. This is the first time they got to meet.
Once arriving to Mackinaw City in our hotel, Jacob was tired so he needed to let out a little steam with his mouth.
Before leaving the hotel, Daddy made Jacob a pillow bunker.
Jacob and Mommy by the beach. It was cool but nice.
Jacob got his new carseat. He grew out of his infant seat already.

Grandma and Grandpa Tormala came over to play with Jacob.
Today, Jacob is 9 months!!!
Jacob likes to talk a lot, and sometimes pretends he is crying to get attention. It works some of the time.
And finally...
Happy 4th of July a little early!!
