Our Weekend
Jacob was so tired from the day - here he is snoozing in his new car seat
On Sunday, my mom, Jacob and I went to our favorite mall in Bellevue for the day so Nathan could work on finishing the bathroom remodel. We chose to use valet parking at the mall and they asked if we wanted my mom's car detailed, inside and out, we figured why not, it's only $50 and needs a good cleaning. They worked on Lucy (my mom's Lexus, yes we name our vehicles) for 2 1/2 hours and it looked brand new, it was great! Usually detailing costs us $100+, so this was a great deal! We will be bringing them the rest of our family cars... plus it's an excuse to shop! We had a good day shopping and the bathroom is almost done... pictures to come.

9 Months
Jacob turned 9 months old on Sunday, can you believe it? I can't, the months have gone by so quickly and Jacob is such a little boy and no longer a little baby. Here are some updates on Jacob:
- Jacob is weighing in at: 20 lbs (45th percentile) and 28 inches long (48th percentile)
- He has 4 teeth - 2 bottom and his two top eye teeth
- He is walking very quickly but still supported and can stand on his own for a few seconds
- If you have been around him the last 2 weeks, he is really into kisses. He leans his head forward, with his tongue just barely hanging out of his mouth, and gives a kiss right on your mouth. He will do this with anyone - just a warning.
- He LOVES to give hugs, he will crawl over to me if I am sitting down on the couch, stand up and put his arms in the air to be picked up. Then gives the biggest bear hug, wrapping his arms around my neck and linking his hands together and just squeezes - it is so adorable!
- He is saying "mama" more often (which of course I love)
- We are now eating 3rd stage foods (see picture below) and eating finger foods
- Gates are now up EVERYWHERE in our house, and Jacob gets into EVERYTHING... poor Shadow. Things are baby proofed, but somehow Jacob finds a way around the baby proofing
- He sleeps in until about 10:30 every morning
- Jacob is going through his "I want mommy all the time" stage right now
- He likes to make different sounds with his mouth, he is a little motor boat most of the time. And has figured out if he makes a humming noise and moves his fingers over the opening of his mouth, it makes cool sounds. I often hear this sound at midnight, even though he is sleeping!
I was trying to get a picture of Jake's teeth this morning - kind of difficult to see, I'll try to get a better picture to post.

Trip to Oregon
Saturday morning, we headed down to my hometown of Cottage Grove. We had lots of family visiting for my cousin AJ's graduation - Congrats!!! AJ is the last of 7 cousins to graduate high school (I'm getting OLD)! I haven't been to CG for so long, it was very strange to be back there again, it was the same but so different. We had literally gotten off the exit for CG and about 30 seconds later, we see a guy driving a tractor down the road! I look at my mom and declare that we are no longer in Seattle anymore...
After a great visit with family, we headed down to Drain to our friend Cary's graduation from OSU. GO BEAVS! Congrats Cary, we are so proud of you!!! Here is Cary at bat during a friendly game of softball... more like a drunken game of softball. It was a fun party and we got to see lots of friendly faces, it was great to catch up with everyone. Good job planning the party Melissa!
Jacob relaxing in the hotel room Sunday morning watching cartoons. What a cutie! Afterward, we went and visited grandpa at work and saw Jacob's great-grandma Abby.
When we got home on Sunday, we decided to splurge and get blizzards and good ole' grandma decides to give Jacob a taste (notice I did not say old). Of course, Jake LOVED this and demanded more before he even swallowed his last little taste. We tried putting him on the floor but he cried, so we finally had to hide the blizzard cup and pretend it was all gone, he got over it... eventually.
