Jacoby's Owie

Jacoby got his first goose-egg on his head this week. It's not really a milestone that I was waiting for, but I guess it had to happen at some point. I was in the shower and he fell, slipped, or tripped and hit his forehead right on the sharp edge of the doorjamb. Poor kid. It instantly turned blue and swelled up. Thankfully, he seemed to forget all about it within just a few minuted and the swelling went down that afternoon. However, I took him to get a haircut just 2 days later and I think we got him the worst haircut ever. We took him to a new place just for kids and he still freaked out and the poor girl was just shaking and butchered him. So, he's looked a little battered this last week with a huge bruise and a horrible haircut. He's still a happy boy though!

This was about an hour after he hit his head. Yes, he's chewing on the cord to the blinds. I think the kid is teething because he chews on EVERYTHING lately.

This is a few days later after his haircut. Pictures cannot show how bad his haircut really is. There are long pieces everywhere, it's uneven, and she didn't clean up his side burns or his neck at all. At least he doesn't realize that his hair looks like crap. Dom said to give it a week and we'll never be able to tell. I hope that's true.

Playing on the couch. His shirt is wet because he spilled while trying to drink water from a big cup.

He's discovered that he can climb up on the ledge in our basement. He's chewing on a teething toy.

Still chewing on his teething toy. I can't wait until his last molars come in so I don't have to wonder any more if he really is teething.

Weekend with the Ernests!

Last weekend, we went to SLC to spend some time with Bobbi and Mattie. We were supposed to go to the Ernest family cabin up Heber Canyon, but the weather decided to be uncooperative. We ended up just hanging out and it was a nice, relaxing weekend. Bobbi and I took off and left Jacoby with the boys and went to Target because I love that store and we don't have one here in Logan. After that, she took me to her new salon and helped me out by trimming my hair and waxing my eyebrows (thanks again!). Dominic has been working crazy hours and I've had to cancel several hair appointments at the last minute because he's had to work late. So, it was nice to get some "me" time.

This is about the only good picture that we got of Jacoby at Mattie and Bobbi's. He was playing outside and Auntie Bobbi gave him some beads. He loves those beads!

On Sunday, we took Jacoby to the Living Planet Aquarium. It was small, but really neat. They had some really cool animals and a pond that you could actually touch the sting rays. They feel soo cool! Jacoby loved all of the fishies and couldn't wait to see the next ones. After the aquarium, we let the boys go golfing and Jacoby took a much needed nap after his busy weekend. All in all, we had a great time!

Checking out the "fishies"

We tried to get him to sit on this frog, but he wasn't having it. He was fine with touching it though.

I don't think he actually touched a stingray because the water was a bit too deep for him to reach, but he had fun splashing in the water.

He had a meltdown after we left the stingray pool, so we had to give him a sucker to calm him down and make it through the rest of the aquarium.

He thought that the penguins were pretty darn cool.


Whew, we made it!

On our way home. He loves dad's red hat and he looks so cute in it!

Random Pictures

Dominic and I downloaded pictures off of both of our cameras last night. Our one camera has had a dead battery for a while and we haven't been able to find the charger until just recently. There were some cute pictures on there! So, this post is just going to be a random post of pictures, some are recent, but some are a couple of months old.

Ah, a day in the life of my spoiled child....he is laying on our bed watching a movie and eating dry Captain Crunch Berry cereal. I have no idea why he is crossing his legs, but it's cute.

Just a close up of him enjoying his movie.

I have no idea when this picture was taken, but I do know that he hasn't fit into those PJ's in about 6 months now. He is so cute.

After cleaning out closets, I had a nice pile of stuff that we are going to try and have a yard sale with. This cowboy hat was in that pile and Jacoby found it. He loved this hat!


Jacoby loves glasses lately, so we bought him a couple of cheap pairs that he can play with. He has us put them on his face for him and then he pushes them up on his forehead. He learned that from his mom...

Jacoby decided that he was going to wear dad's shoes. Look at those skinny legs!


And last, here is a picture of me at 35 weeks pregnant. The flowers on the table are what Dom brought me home for our Anniversary (4 years on April 29). I was posing in this picture-which means that I was "sucking it in". I don't really like to let my belly just hang out because I don't like looking hugely pregnant (it invites stupid comments). But then my husband snapped this one when I wasn't paying attention...

I think I was picking a piece of lint off of my belly. Nice.
