Matt no likey da' Scrabble

It started with such promise...



...and ended with such disillusionment. (Note Matt's terrible tiles.)

I want my mommy!

Well, that's how I feel anyway after a wonderful week with Grandma Hilda. Life has galloped right along since she left. We had a great visit from Brent & Natalie, Jacob's first diaper rash (bad), and of course our ever full social calendar. Ha. Nonetheless, tonight's not the night for the full story on mom's trip...but here's a taste of the fun we had.



Another thing that has kept us busy is our hair. I got a cut, Jacob got butched and Matt got sheared (baaa).



Seriously, butched.

(Matt has EXTREMELY sensitive eyes, so that's why I guess he chooses to close them in pictures. Don't laugh, I think he's sensitive about it.)

Does this look like too much birthday to you?

Jacob, unlike Sister Bear of Berenstain Bear-dom, was very happy to be celebrated on his day of days.

Happy Birthday J-Man

A year ago today Robyn was being sliced op-, I mean, Jacob was born! He is a joy in every way. We feel so very blessed to have such a healthy, smart, sweet, funny boy. And he's cute, too!

We love you darling Jacob boy!

And yes, it was terribly hard to pick just one picture per month.

Blonde Baby-shell

The other day a bath produced the blondest, sweetest head of hair I've ever seen. It also somehow inspired Jacob to chew the dickens out of some monkey feet and a little jeep.

Just when I thought I wouldn't catch any smiles...

After the smiles it was all whistfulness for Jacob. And, of course, all blonde-ness.

I'll stop doing this

when their kids stop being so cute.

Guess who's walking!?!

Matt!

That's right, this is Jacob's body double on a run through the grass with (or away from) Kaizer, Great Grandma & Grandpa Hutchison's dog. Aunt Bev saw this picture and said, "I didn't know Jacob was walking!"

Did we get ya'? Broahahahahah!

Okay, so it's not ALWAYS easy being green.

Hey, it IS easy being green!

How could you not love these Sloths?

That's right, I'm thinking a lot about Jana, Jon, Maddie & Ian. No big reason, I just love them lots. If you want to see how cute they are, and I mean cute, then feast your eyes on this.

Not sure it's worth the click? Here's some motivation.
