Let's Do 52: Week Ten

Themes were: fear and feet (March 5th - March 11th)

This was a fun week for me because I love me some cute little baby feet!  I had a bunch that turned out super cute, but this was probably the best!  Enjoy!



 Henry's adorable, itty-witty, teeny-tiny, little baby feet!  

Next week's themes are: power and up

Jacob's Gymnastics Class!

I'm so glad we decided to do this class.  He loved it!  He's definitely a high energy toddler, so something like this was just what he needed to help get of that out.  We started the class with some stretches and warm-up activities that Jacob was not very fond of.  He's definitely like me where he's shy around people he doesn't know at first.  Anyway, he was super shy and reserved in the beginning and wanted to sit on my lap the whole time, but as soon as he saw his Gee walk in the door and it was open play time, he was ready to go!

He played on the balance beams most of the time and really started to get the hang of it!  He's a natural!  I tried to get him to do some tumbles because I know he CAN do them, but no dice.  Maybe next week!  I'm so excited for the rest of his classes.  We have one a week until June 11th, so lots more fun gym time to come!!

Let's Do 52: Week Nine

Themes were: play and round (February 26th - March 4th)

Next week's themes are: fear and feet

Let's Do 52!

I've been trying to do this on a few different websites I've been on, but it keeps getting let go, so I'm going to try to complete the project here.  You can see the original posts and project information on the Paint the Moon website, but basically it's one photo a week for an entire year.  You have two different themes to choose from each week, and it's supposed to help you enhance your photography skills.  I'll combine a few of the weeks into one blog post, so I don't have to make a bunch of new ones.

Let's Do 52: Week One

Theme was: new beginnings (January 1st - 7th)

I missed this week, somehow.  So, sorry ... no photo.

Let's Do 52 - Week Two

Themes were: togetherness or metal (January 8th - 14th)






  Story of my life.  They are constantly together.  Wherever Henry is, Jacob is not far behind.  :) 
Let's Do 52: Week Three

Themes were: abandoned and doors (January 15th - January 21st)

I actually didn't have a photo for this week either. (I said I have been TRYING to do this, but it keeps falling through, haha.)

Let's Do 52: Week Four

Themes were: blessings and tiny (January 22nd - January 28th)






  My tiny blessing! 

Let's Do 52: Week Five

Themes were: delicate and shadows (January 29th - February 4th)

My delicate littlest man asleep on his daddy.

Let's Do 52: Week Six

Themes were: obsession and hearts (February 5th - February 11th)






My obsessions!
Let's Do 52: Week Seven

Themes were: handmade and macro (February 12th - February 18th)





My handmade Valentine's present from Jacob.  <3 

Let's Do 52: Week Eight

Themes were: strength and green (February 19th - February 25th)

Didn't have anything for this week either.

Next week's themes are play and round.  Stay tuned to see what I come up with!

He's IN!!!

Oh man ... my baby boy, Jacob, has been officially enrolled in preschool and will be starting in the Fall, 2011.  Where has my little baby gone?!  It's so bittersweet.  I'm so excited for what that new chapter in our lives will bring.  He'll be going two days a week on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:00 - 11:45 AM.  You can view his new school's website here.  I can't believe in just a few short months I will be the mom to a preschooler!!

Henry's 4 Month Check-up!

On Friday we took Henry in for his 4 month well baby visit.  He's growing like a weed!  He was 7lb 8oz at birth and now weighs a whopping 15lbs 4oz.  He was 21 inches at birth and is now 25 inches.  The poor little guy had to have two shots and one oral vaccine, but he did really well with them.  Only cried for a second and this time I was able to hold him through the whole thing which made me feel better.  I hate that he has to go through that, but I'd rather he have the vaccines than not.

It's crazy how fast they grow!  Here's a picture of Henry when he was 10 days old.







And, here he is at 4 months!  I can't believe how fast the time is flying by!

Our afternoon at the park in mid-February!

That's really unheard of around here, but on Friday we had an unseasonably warm day.  70s and sunny!  It's was GORGEOUS!  John took the day off from work to enjoy some of that nice weather and to have a day alone, but that didn't really happen.  He ended up coming with me to Henry's 4 month well check-up (I'll write about that later) and ran a few of his own errands.  Then after I got off work, we picked the kids up from daycare and we all four headed to our neighborhood park.  Jacob's at the age now where he loves to run, jump and CLIMB on just about anything.  He's pretty independent when it comes to playing on playground equipment, though we still go behind him to spot him.  Just to be on the safe side.  I tried to get a few pictures of him, but he was so excited and so busy exploring that he couldn't stop for even 2 seconds to let me snap a picture.  Here are a few that I was able to get of him, though.





Henry really seemed to love being out in the fresh air too.  He was so calm and relaxed and just all around happy.  He even let me put him the swing and snap a few pictures.  Here are just a few of my favorites!
