Summer Days

The summer days are dwindling, there is less than a month left before school starts back. We have already taken a few great family trips and we have one more for a wedding in Alabama. The girls spend most of the hot days outside with their friends and we try and frequent the pool as much as possible. Nels turns 29 tomorrow and we celebrate our 8th anniversary in just a few weeks. I love this time of year where there is no schedule to follow, lots of time spent together, and just a feeling of freedom. Soon all of the chaos of everyday life will start back, school, homework, soccer, and we will be busy trying to beat the clock, but for now freedom.

Jacob is 6 months old!

Well I completely forgot to post a picture of Jacob when he turned 5 months old. Here we are a month later and I almost forgot again. So Jacob turned 6 months old on Monday. He has been sick this week running a fever, then he had to get 4 shots. The last few days have not been very much fun for him. At the doc he weighed 15lbs which puts him in the 20th percentile for his age. He has 2 teeth that popped up within just a day of each other. He rolls all around trying to get to whoever he can reach, he is always reaching for stuff and even gets a little upset when you take something away from him. He still loves to play with his sisters even when they put pink stuff on him. He enjoys dips in the pool, but he would rather be naked than have his swimsuit on. The YMCA does not allow naked babies to go swimming, so anyone we may share the pool with at the Y, it is safe to go in! I cannot believe six months have already gone by and our baby boy is getting so big. He has a very easy going personality and he is so easy to love!
