Jacob’s First Bike
Last week we got Jacob his first bike. It of course has training wheels, but he does really good on it. When Shannon and the kids go to the pool, he always wants to ride his bike there. Here is a link to the slideshow gallery of his first ride.
Difference in Boys and Girls
I am sure over the years to come I will speak more on this subject, but already, I can see some fundamental emotional and psychological differences between Ava and Jacob which seem to be rooted in their gender. It will be more pronounced as they both grow older, but two have differences have clearly appeared [...]
I WV U
Jacob drew his mommy a very pretty picture with flowers on it. He then wrote something on the top of it, and said to his Mommy, “look Mommy, I wuv you.” What he had spelled was “I WV U”. This was all on his own. Does this make him a whole language advocate?

While 4 parties wore us out, especially [...]

Jacob has started preschool, 4 different birthday parties for our 4-year old boy, started coaching Jacob’s soccer team at the YMCA, I have started teaching AWANA, Shannon has resigned as Children’s Minister at our church and my work is at its busiest point [...]
Jacob’s First Cereal
Last week I posted video of Ava’s first taste of cereal. Here is the video of Jacob’s first foray into solid food. They are about the same age.
