What did he do?

There's some serious mischief behind those (adorable) eyes.

5:35am

Maybe this is why Jacob insists upon getting up so early.

Fox's at Nubble

Rocks!

York!

The beach in Maine, not the former cafeteria style steak house at Shopper's World.

Deep thoughts

In a deep hole... On the beach. Uncle Micah and daddy dug a ridiculous hole on the beach today. I could show you Theo in the hole, however you wouldn't be able to see him. What I'm saying is that the hole was deep.

Theo's first girlfriend!

According to Kim:

"They held hands the whole walk out of the park!"

Tennis anyone?

It's tough to see, but Jacob managed to throw a tennis ball into the light fixture shown here. He had been in the hotel for 30 seconds.

Donuts! Part deux.

A big kid going to camp!

Jacob is all ready to go to camp... He's in a program at the temple called 'Swing into Sumer' which will continue until the end of June when he'll be going to "REAL" camp.

Theo doesn't know.

Get back to work slackers!

Video Proof

I must admit...

I've taken a bit of a break from blogging. I blame it on the little guy. His decision not to walk has been surprising, so in return, I decided not to blog.... That is, until now. Today I think I can safely say that Theo has started walking. For about a week now he's taken a number of steps at a time. Then today, he walked from the back of the living room to the front door, unprompted. When I got home from work he was wandering around the backyard kicking a ball. I'll follow up with some video soon (hopefully). Mazel tov to Theo Ethan!

Another short film starring Jacob Gus Greene

Hamper?

No, it's a bed.

He can't walk yet but he's already a golf pro!

Who knows where your Adenoids are?

Do you? I can tell you I know that Jacob's are not where they used to be. I'm sure you can't wait to learn more about Adenoids (aka Pharyngeal tonsil) so go ahead, give it a click.

Jacob had his adenoidectomy procedure this past Tuesday. I'm here to tell you that it went about as well as we could have hoped. We got to the Massachusetts Eye & Ear Infirmary before 7:30am on Tuesday and we were back at home before 1pm.  Jacob was very brave!  He had general anestesia and came through it without any side effects.  He was back at school on Thursday.

The doctors decided it was time to take this step for many reasons, the goal was to help clear his constant state of congestion... they suggested this may also help with his general disinterest in all things 'food'.

When Jacob fell asleep on Tuesday night, he slept nearly silently, the noises we had been accustomed to hearing (loud snoring/breathing) were totally gone. In the days since the procedure he's told me "I'm hungwee Daddy" more frequently than he did in the prior 2 years.

I'm very happy we did it, and that its over.  Next up, first trip to the dentist... scheduled for early April.

Shirtless boy.

Looks good on you though.

Don't be roadblocker

Thanks Shaina!

Here's mommy and Jacob snuggled up in the excellent blanket that
Shaina made for Jacob.

A quick theo movie

I see you!

Theo, wearing his Bruschi jersey, really likes the tunnel in the living room. Mom and dad, not so much.
