JACOBS FAMILY

BOO at the ZOO

2008-10-26T06:52:00.001-07:00

Last night, Kevin and I took Kyle (dressed as Tigger)and Max (Lion) with our friends Robbie, Kim and Michael (the dragon) Ball and Russell, Allison and Ella (the Lady Bug) Everhart to Boo and the Zoo! We had so much fun! The kids (techincally the Daddys) did some Trick or Treating, and rode on the slide and carousel. I have never seen 3 more proud Dads! I KNOW Kevin had just as much fun as Kyle did! As for the event, I never knew it was like a kiddie fair! I assumed you would walk around the zoo, see some animals and trick or treat with a couple of face painting, etc. Boy was I wrong. It was like a child's fair! They had rides and even an adult size Farris Wheel! We, of course, did not ride on it! It was very crowded and a little cool out, but we had the best time! I was worried the boys may get hot in their costumes and in the end, I was relieved that their costumes were warm! Anyway, I thought I would share some of our pictures with you all! Enjoy!

Summer Update

2008-10-17T16:22:00.000-07:00

It has been awhile since I have been able to post some pictures. We have a great new addition to our family, Max! He is such a good baby! No, he doesn't sleep through the night, yet, but we are working on it! All is going well and I thought I would share some memorable moments with you all!

Kyle's Birthday Dinner

My 1st Birthday

2008-07-07T18:43:00.000-07:00

God love him. It was the night before Kyle's first birthday and Kevin, Kyle, Mom, Dad, and I went to Purple Cow to celebrate. Kyle ate one of his favorite dishes, grilled cheese and french fries, and then opened his presents. We sang "Happy Birthday" and the sweet waitress thought she was doing a good deed by bringing Kyle a purple cow ice cream treat with a lit candle on top. OF COURSE, my one year old goes straight for the candle! Luckily, Kevin blew it out in time. Unfortunately, he did get some hot wax on his finger, so, it took him a minute before he would test out his desert. Poor baby! So, the moral of the story is.... No lit candles on a birthday cake until the child is old enough to understand HOT! :) Gosh, we are soooo first time parents!

Kyle's First Word!

Language Milestone!!!

2008-06-06T06:33:00.000-07:00

Well, my baby said his first word yesterday! He was skinny dippin' in his baby pool at my parent's house and whined at me and said "Mamamama." I was so excited!!! So, I video taped him this morning in his highchair saying "Ma Ma." These milestones seem to make a pregnant woman cry! ;)

My First Day At Gymboree Class

2008-05-14T14:23:00.000-07:00

I was so excited to start this class with Kyle. It is a 45 minute class once a week that helps Kyle with coordination, socialization and many other skills. He has never been around kids his own age, except his friend Ella that we don't get to play with that much. So, I figured this would be a great way for Kyle to explore and for me to meet and socialize with other moms in his age group. We had our first class today. I think it was a tad overwhelming for him, but I think it would be a great class for him to be able to learn. There are only 5 other kids, 4 boys and 1 girl. They are all walking and have been doing this class for a while. He watched and played with the balls, and even crawled up on the rock wall. I was proud. He is also getting his 3rd tooth and it seems to really bother him, so he was a little fussy. He also woke up so early this am that he was ready for his morning nap at 8:20 this morning, so he really needed to rest before this class. It is a very steady class. The teacher moves from one thing to the next quickly, so it may take a few times for Kyle to get into the swing of things. Over all, I really think that he will enjoy it. The teacher said it is overwhelming for kids the first few times. I can't wait to take him next week and see how he does. We will definately get a good nap beforehand! He was exhausted after class today! :)

Meeting a milestone!

2008-05-03T13:23:00.000-07:00

Well, I woke up this morning and went to get Kyle only to find the little turkey about to stand up in his bed! I walked over to him and up he stood! He was soooo proud of himself!! So, I shot some pics of him today standing up so that I could share this wonderful, proud moment! I got tears in my eyes. My baby is trying to be a big boy!!

Ok, so I have been a terrible blogger lately! SO, I have spent the last hour and a half trying to figure out how to make a slide show using flickr and have given up! I can't link it to my blog! So frustrating! So, if any of you bloggers out there know how, please inform me!

We just found out that we are having another boy! His name is going to be Max, after my dad. We are very excited and looking forward to having him here! Life is going to be very busy but fun! I will try to be better at blogging.... Please forgive me.....

We had our first ultrasound of baby #2 today. Here he/she is!!!!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

2007-12-27T12:29:00.000-08:00

I guess I should start off by saying that I am sorry that it has taken me so long to update Kyle's blog! It has been a very busy last couple of months!!!! No more excuses! I added lots of new fun pics from X-mas for you all to enjoy! Kyle has really grown these last couple of months. He is now rolling over and even trying to sit up!!! He needs a little support, but he is doing really well.

Seems like X-mas just came and went so fast! Kyle's Uncle John and Uncle Jeff were home for the holidays. Kyle really enjoyed meeting his Uncle John for the first time! He really had quite an effect on him. It was so funny, because when Kyle would fuss, John would look at him and say, "Big boys don't cry." Amazingly, Kyle stopped. I wish I had that power!!!! :)

Well, we also had a very big suprise on Thanksgiving day. Kevin and I found out that we are expecting! PHEW!!! What a busy life we are going to have!!!!! :) I go for my first Doctor's appt on Jan 2. I decided to wait a little bit ( I am 9 weeks today) and maybe I will get a good first ultrasound. This pregnancy has already been very different than Kyle. I guess a little bit of me hopes that this might mean I am having a girl, although a brother for Kyle would be fun too!

So, you can see we have had a very busy and exciting last couple of months. I hope that you and your family have had a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year!!!

Happy Halloween!

2007-11-02T16:17:00.000-07:00

This week was a fun week. First of all, Kyle discovered his "volume" button. So, every squeal, scream whatever gets progressively loud! He is so funny, because he will squeal or scream loudly, and then all of a sudden he will stick that lip out like he was going to cry and then out of no where, laugh! Gosh, this age (4 months on November 8) is so much fun!

Kyle had his first Halloween. He was dressed as a Penguin. We decided that there would be more kids coming to my parents house than ours, so I took Kyle over there to answer the door. He just loves other kids and I knew he would enjoy seeing all of them come to trick or treat.

When I took Kyle to have his pictures made (by the way, they still are not posted on the internet! As Charlie Brown would say... "UGH!"), he cried when I put him in his costume. So, when the time came for me to put on his costume, I was a little nervous. Luckily, he was a true sport and didn't cry. It was also 70 outside and if you look closely, you will see that that costume is awfully warm, so he didn't wear it all night. By the time the evening was over, he switched costumes from penguin to true redneck- naked with a diaper and on my hip! :) Gretchen Wilson would be so proud!

Anyway, I hope you all had a Happy Halloween!

Week of October 22, 2007

2007-10-26T11:04:00.000-07:00

I have been playing around with this blog this week and looking at different people's pages and have picked up a few things. I know I wore Kevin out playing with it!!! Oh well!! I decided the best way to let people know what is happening with the Jacobs family is to update this blog every week or two depending on how much time Kyle will sleep or play for me to do this!

One thing I saw that I really liked was how mom's and dad's will leave commentaries on their kids so that people that may not live here or see them on a regular basis can at least feel like they were here! My friend Cindy did a wonderful job with hers. So, I thought I might try it out!
It is amazing how big that he is getting. It seems like yesterday that he was just born! I know that you hear that all the time, but you never really realize it until you have your first child and watch him grow every day!

Kyle had a big week this week! His Uncle Jeff came to town for his 26th birthday, Kyle had his first photo session, and he spent some time up at his daddy's office! (See the picture we took this week!) The photo session was so much fun! Like the wise mother that I am, I listened to all of my friends recommendations as to where to have his pictures made, unfortunately the place is 50 minutes from our house. So, I packed up the car, drove the 50 minutes in the pouring down rain with a hungry kid crying in the back seat to his first photo session. You should have seen us! When we got there, I had to carry Kyle, his clothes (which I have learned to take along with me instead of dress him in them due to the reflux), his bag and the umbrella inside the store! I was a site to see! I know I really looked like a first time Mom! What other Mother would drag their 3 month old out in the rain for pictures???? Anyway, he hammed it up for the photographer. The pictures turned out great. They will be available on the web within 5-7 business days. I will let you know as soon as they are available to view. Anyway, we had a great week and I have enjoyed every crazy moment!!!!
