Jacob is 17 months old!

What can I say, the boy loves animals! Not sure if this chicken was more interested in Jacob, or if Jacob was more interested in him.


These chickens got real close to the fence real fast! This is Jacob turning to run away!


We've had a few rainy days recently. Since playing outdoors wasn't an option, we retreated indoors and took a trip to "The Met" (Children's Metamorphosis Museum). This shot was complete with sound effects, Jacob saying "roooooooaaaaaaaaaarrrr" each time he picked up a new dinosaur.

Jacob the fireman!


To the rescue! (we thought Jacob's soon to be Uncle Jay would like this picture...)

We also checked out a Children's Science Museum. Jacob LOVED IT there. This tunnel really has nothing to do with science, but it definitely kept him busy.

Jacob and I had a little lunch date together after the Science Museum. We sat outside since it was so nice out. The restaurant was right on a main street so Jacob spent the whole time watching cars, trucks and motorcycles drive by. This was the only time I could get him to turn around and face me! BTW Mom and Dad, there was a Margarita's Restaurant right next door (translation: visiting NH just got more fun!).

Here's Jake wrestling with Jackson. As you can tell from Jackson's expression, he's gotten quite used to this daily routine!
Jacob's room was just painted. This will be his new room when the baby comes. He's not quite ready for a big boy bed, so he'll be borrowing cousin Stevie's crib for a little while.


His new obsession: riding down the slide at the park. I prefer the small slide where he can ride down himself, he prefers the big slide that I have to go down with him. Quite the sight to see a large pregnant mom going down a slide with a toddler!

Climbing the rock wall (now I know how he learned to climb on top of the dining room table with all the chairs pushed in!).

Peak-a-boo!

No trip to the playground would be complete without saying hi to the geese, or as Jake says "deeeese".

"No time to chat deeese, I'm a busy guy"!
