People keep telling me they saw my scuba video on facebook, so here it is.

BIG CHANGES

The month of July has brought on some big changes for our little guy. On the 4Th of July Jacob got a little sparkler burn on his lip causing us to think it was time to get rid of the pacifier. Jacob did awesome with having to give it up. He understood that his lip wouldn't heal if he had his pipe in so didn't fight us. For a kid who was addicted to that thing at bedtime and naps we were shocked!

Then today I found Jacob on the top of his crib. One leg in one leg out about to fall. With wood floors I just knew this would be a bad thing. I told him that he couldn't get out this way and he told me he would do it again later. At dinner Jason and I decided our little boy was getting big and for his safety it was time for a big boy/toddler bed. His crib easily converted to a nice little toddler bed. Jason even made the bummer fit on nicely still. Bedtime came we told Jacob he had to stay in his bed and so far he has. (It doesn't look like he's moved a muscle.) We are praying he wont be up at 2 a.m. or wandering the house tonight. Any tips if he does?????

Also, these new events have caused many tears for mom. I never knew it would be this hard to see your babies grow up.

Big Star Wake Surfing

Brian and I are new to this but we gave it a good effort. We managed to get the hang of it half way decent by the end of the weekend with some good un-assissted surfs.

4th of July Weekend

We enjoyed a relaxing 4th of July weekend in Spring Lake. My mom and dad came up Friday night to see Jacob swim and then we spent Saturday with some friends by the pool. Sunday we walked the pier and hung out with Ashley before heading to Great Lila's cottage for a birthday party!
