First Hair Cut

BEFORE:


At the age of 2 yrs & 3 months, we decided that it was finally time for Jacob's first hair cut. Daddy took him to daddy's barber, Joe. "Just like papa Joe" I told Jacob. Jacob was very well behaved and it was all done in no time at all, with no tears thankfully... from him anyway.

AFTER:
In case you're concerned, all of his curls reappeared immediately after his next bath.

Hey, professor!

It snowed - UPDATED

Chanukah - First Night

Jacob has been talking about and wishing for a train table for months now, ever since he saw one in a Barnes and Noble.... Tonight he got his very own. Ideally I would have snapped a picture with him looking at the camera, only problem is that he didn't look up from the time we first showed to him until bedtime. I think he likes it.

Here's a few pre-snow pictures...

We'll head out and enjoy the elements tomorrow. The snow day, for this non-essential state employee, allowed for some time to review some photos that have been sitting on my camera for a while.

Talk Talk Talk Talk

Jacob talks A LOT!
Last night Alyson and I were outside Jacob's room after we had put him down, he was just talking to his 'guys' (elmo et al), at one point i heard him say " Yeahhhh, english muffin pizza.... cream cheese". We both burst out laughing. By the way, that's exactly what he had for dinner about 2 hours prior.
We can't say anything in front of him that we don't want parroted back at us... Which brings me to one of his new favorite words... Diarrhea.

Rough week

Would you beleive that in the course of a week this household has
endured not one, or two, but three ear infections!? Jacob battled
through 2 of them, fever of up to 104.2, and (so far) 3 dr visits.
Mommy has the 3rd ear infection. Shockingly painful in adults from
what i'm told... backed up by the prescribed narcotics. Kudos to Dr.
Aaron Tword & the Mass Eye and Ear ER, we were in and out of there in
just over 2 hours. Now, hopefully, mommy is well ok her road to
recovery.

Bah-bye binkie

Tonight is the first night thatvee have tried putting Jacob down with
out a pacifier. He resisted (mildly) at first, then fell asleep, with
his head on his pillow! So far so good.
