Can you fit your fist in your mouth? That's talent!

While at dinner the other day, we looked over at Jacob who was sucking on his fingers real good, and he managed to get his fist in there as well. I'm so proud!

Colorado Rockies Baseball Game

I've been so used to Oakland's baseball games and the cold weather, that I was pleasantly surprised by how warm this game was, not even a jacket needed.

I want to say that Jacob enjoyed his first baseball game, but let me explain this little guy. He is so sensitive to noises. If we laugh loud, sneeze, cough while holding hime, etc he will start crying. I've had a cold lately and I can't just cough so I have to start coughing soft and work my way to the actual cough... poor thing he gets so scared by noises (just like his mama). This game wasn't any different. The first time the crowd cheered or clapped, he would bust out in a full force cry; red face and real tears though, I felt so bad. He continued to cry when people got loud for the next hour and then he seemed to get used to it and could cope. He's so used to everything quiet here that when things are a little noisy, he can't deal. So sensitive( like his mama). That's right, he gets scared by noises, is sensitive and a little dramatic... just like his mama. The rest of him is all Wesley though (thank goodness)! Jake, our little professional


Hanging with daddy

The view from our seats. I hate putting pictures of myself up, but I figure, hey, I just had a baby and surgery in the last 5 months so give me a break, I'm working on it. (This is more of me telling this to myself so as to quit giving myself a hard time for not being teeny tiny like everyone else around here who've just had babies.)

A few pics of my cutie!

We were playing a game at the table and put Jake on blanket next to it. Someone told Maddie (his cousin) to guard him or something like that and next thing you know she had cones surrounding him. Well, he was definitely pretty guarded!

Jacob loves playing in his exersaucer. Here he is smiling at grandma and it even looks like he's waving at her. He's such a happy baby!

Jacob's first swing experience. He actually really enjoyed it. Cousin Maddie had fun pushing him on the swing.

New Car

We had been thinking about getting a new car that has 4WD for the winter because my Mits. Montero was only 2WD and we didn't want to buy something new so we got a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It's a lot nicer than my car and has a lot of fun features in it. It's a fun toy!

Labor Day Weekend

We spent Labor Day weekend at the YMCA of the Rockies with Wesley's brother and family and we had a great time! There were so many activities to do the entire time, it was hard to get bored. We rollerskated, (they let me take in the stroller so Jake could join the group) we did archery, swam, hiked, and did rock wall climbing.















This was the beginning of the hike, Jacob was so excited to go, he was wiggling a bunch.




















This is where the hike led to, a pretty waterfall. Here's our little family.















Jacob got exhausted from all the walking and decided to take a nap




















Wesley and I climbing the rock wall. Wesley did great on the harder levels.




















I might look like I'm doing pretty well, BUT don't be fooled. Each color is a different level. Green is the easiest, then yellow, blue and red. I stuck to the green and yellow. Actually, I didn't like the yellow so I stuck to the green the majority of the time. That's just my level... EASY, that is.















You can't see the pretty view that well but it was gorgeous up there. Jacob is there sleeping in the jogging stroller.















Here he is again asleep... It was so chilly that I put Wesley's fleece on him.




















Jacob and I watching everyone do mini golf. They had so many fun things to do there!
























This is David (Jacob's cousin) hanging out with Jake. He loves David.

HAIRSPRAY

This last Friday, Wesley, Jacob and I went to see Hairspray the movie, which I've been dying to see for quite some time now and it was AMAZING! I just loved it! It was so funny, but since I was holding Jacob and he was sleeping, I couldn't laugh out loud as much as I wanted to. Luckily Wesley took him from me and I was able to vocalize my enjoyment. So many times during the movie, I wanted to just bust out in song and dance along with the cast. (Boy would that have been a sight). If you haven't seen it, it's worth going to (unless you aren't in to musicals and things like that). I want to go see it again!
