See How Much Jacob Likes Santa?

Come on Mom and Dad I know this isn't the real Santa.



I am not amused.

Jacob was far more interested in eating his costume than anything else :)

Drumroll Please . . .

Last week Jacob slept through the night for the first time! Although there hasn't been a repeat performance it is nice to know the thing is possible. Also, Jacob rolled over for the first time last week. What a talented boy!!

The Smorgasbord

We went to the Shady Maple Smorgasbord last week and look what we found Jacob doing. No wonder he's so fat!!


Apparently Grandpa is his accomplice.

Cute Fat Man

HELP!!

All you mothers out there I'm looking for some good advice. I've been trying to get Jacob on a regular sleeping schedule for overnights and naps but all my efforts have been in vain. Any suggestions?

Happy Halloween from the mad scientist, the bum and the baby giraffe (the costume fit great Ryan and Ann!)

Surprise!!

The Chunk

Yesterday at our pediatrician's appointment we learned that Jacob now weighs a whooping 14 lbs. 9 oz which puts him in the 95th percentile for weight. Here's our little heavyweight.

My New Toy

This week I got a Moby wrap for carrying the baby. I love it! Jacob is such a snuggly baby so he never wants me to put him down. Now I can actually get things accomplished while I'm holding him. He is also a fan, everytime I put him in it he's asleep in 5 minutes.


Doug loves it too :)

Getting Ready for Halloween

Last week Jacob and I went to Merrymead Farms with Mom, John, Bekah and Abby. The little fellow got to go on his first hayride and grandma bought him his very own pumpkin.

Posing with his pumpkin.

You can see how much he's enjoying himself.

Abby and Bekah on the hayride.

It was windy and cold so he snuggled up to me through the whole ride. I love having a kid to do all this fun stuff with (even if he won't remember a thing).

Melting Mommy's Heart

Jacob has recently started to smile back at Doug and I when we smile at him. That cute little grin makes me so grateful to be a mommy!

A Trip to the Park

Jacob loves being outside so we went on a trip to the park. His favorite part was lying down on the blanket and looking up at the sky. What a cutie patooti!

My Smiley Buddy

Our little friend is starting to smile more.

Fatty Fat McFattington

Yesterday Jacob went in for his one month checkup. He is 11 lbs 4 oz which puts him in the 90th percentile. We've been force feeding him for weeks to achieve this. Here are some of the latest pics.

Giving Dad some love.Stop taking pictures of me Mom!

Showing off his little beer belly.

One of my favorite things about being a mom is kissing those chubby cheeks.

Our little angel

First bath (which he loved by the way)

We visited Valley Forge Park with Doug's mother and stepdad and got our picture taken with George Washington.

He's too cool for his dad :)

2 Weeks Old

Today we inaugurated Jacob's two week anniversary with an expedition to Ridley Creek State Park.

He's always smiling in his sleep. AWWWWWWWWWW!

My cute boys :)

EPIC!!!

Baby Boy, Jacob Emmanuel Johnson, 8 lbs 3 oz. Labor took 3.5 hours, Mimi is doing great. Natural birth (no epidural), Mimi was awesome. This is almost the only time he cried in the first 24 hours.

My Hero

Thanks for all your love!

OOPS!

After a long and illustrious career of cutting Doug's hair I finally made a fatal error today. I forgot to put the plastic extension on that makes sure you don't cut too close to the scalp. Don't worry it looks much better now but it was too hilarious to not take a picture of. I believe I did something similar to Micah once and he never let me cut his hair again. Fortunately Doug likes his hair short and would buzz cut it every time if I let him.

The Auction

Last weekend after cleaning out the house and preparing for the big move Mom and Dad had an silent art auction for all the patings dad didn't want to move. I thought you guys might enjoy seeing the house relatively empty.

Doug and Aunt Bev. Uncle Jon and Aunt Bev were nice enough to come down all the way from Manhattan to help Mom and Dad with the move.

Big News

Yesterday I quit my job, or I should say gave my two weeks notice. I've been looking forward to this for years. No more working on Saturdays, no more waking up at 3 am to get to work on time (although this will resume when the baby comes I'm sure). Doug is now getting benefits for us through his work which will cover my pregnancy and make this break possible for me. Yay! I am so appreciative of his hard work and support. I am really looking forward to being able to enjoy the rest of my summer and all the big changes that are coming. Now I just have to make it through the next 14 days...

29 Weeks

The third trimester is in full swing - YAY!
