Another Bath!?

So we hear that its a good idea to bathe the kid from time to time. We had been on an every-other night schedule however, we might have to make bath-time a nightly occurance given Jacob's new-found mobility. He crawls like he means it now. Here, there, and everywhere. It won't be long before he catches up with Corey.
We've seen him even make attempts at standing, right in the middle of the room, with nothing to hold onto... He may be considering leaving crawling behind. I'll keep you up to date.
Here's a few more pictures from the bath as well as tonight's visit from Olivia. She was mesmorised by my corn-shucking skills, so much so that she wouldn't rest until I gave her one of my freshly shucked corns... As you'll see, the corn's raw-osity (great scrabble word) did not present much of a problem to young Miss Kaplan.

Lookin GOOOD!

Harry took this picture of Alyson and Me at Wendy and Dan's wedding last weekend. We had a great time at the wedding which was held at the Hyatt Harborside which is across the harbor from Downtown Boston. The location was perfect for a wedding, and some nice photographs as well. If you were curious, Jacob spent the night with his Nana & Papa, and as is his current MO, he was a perfect gentleman.

Maine for a day

We took a quick day-trip to Maine today. We checked in on the progress of Nana & Papa's house, not surprisingly, Jacob approved. We had some lunch, and even spent some time on the beach... We really enjoy the beach in the early evening... After a quick ocean side dinner (where Mommy and Daddy carefully calculated their Points, jacob jammed his mouth full of chicken fingers and french fries), we returned to the car for the trek back to Newton. On the way home a certain smell indicated we needed to make an unscheduled stop in the parking lot of the Masconomet Regional High School in Topsfield, MA. It happens to be an enormous school, but I digress. The point of the story is Jacob (once the odor problem had been remediated), made a move for the driver's seat and posed for the picture you see here.

Here's the first (of many) new feature(s) that I will be adding to the blog as Jacob (and the blog) approach their first birthdays.
Its a link to more pix that fit with this post... Enjoy!

Trip to Maine 8-17-2007

Get in my belly!

Have I mentioned my son's love of watermelon? It has quickly shot up to the top of his favorite foods list. He's started to get a little picky around meal time lately, but if you offer him watermelon, he'll eat it right up. Perhaps watermelon fresh from the fridge feels really good on his tiny teeth, whatever it is, the kid loves it, as you can clearly see in this movie.

Sorta walking...

Even before the crawling started, Jacob started walking/marching with 'some' help. Its fun to watch.

Stop bawlin and get crawlin!

Jacob learned to crawl today. He's been working on it for a few weeks now, and today he figured out that if he moves his hands, he can go anywhere he wants... We're in trouble now. More video to follow soon!
