We love company

These past few weeks Jacob has been enjoying the company of family friends and lots of walks in the park. He is growing fast, he now has the ability to cry with tears and his salivary glands are maturing- so he has lots of drool. At his most recent doctor's appointment he received his first set of vaccinations. Since then he hasn't been the same...in a good way. He is now much more responsive and the very next day he smiled!

Paul and Jake are just chillin'.

Lori and Bryan's visit sparked Jacob's first argument over a girl. Bryan had to warn Jacob of the consequences of feeling up his wife. Did I mention Lori and Bryan are expecting a little one of their own? Here's Jacob warm and cozy as Auntie Ali allows mommy to take a break.

Cuzin Call

Jacob finally met his younger cousin, Michael. It was the first time all of his cousins on his mother's side were together. The video below provides a sample of the noise level. It seemed Michael was perfectly happy sleeping through the noise, Jacob wanted to make noise, Elizabeth tried to quiet Jacob and Alyse and Joseph were playing on their own extremely high level of noise. If we had the noise dosimeter I am sure it would show that we were in violation of some sort of noise ordinance. We'll have to buy ear plugs for the extended family when holiday dinners roll around.

Video collage of pix

Mommy played photographer today. Instead of posting each individual picture, here are two video collages of some of the best photos of Jacob. BTW, he now weighs in at approximately 10 lbs.

Visit from i Zii

On Sunday, Zio Pasquale, Zia Rosa and Connie came over with the determination to make Jacob smile. They were somewhat successful...

While Papa is away...

While Papa was away this past weekend, Jacob's Babooshka and Dedooshka came over to play. Babooshka gave him a bath Friday night and sang him several songs. And on Saturday, Dedooshka sang songs, danced with him and got Jacob so tired that he passed out on Dedooshka.
