Old MacDonald's Farm

We took Jakob and Everleigh to Shelburne Farms on Saturday morning to get some fresh air and exercise.  Everleigh slept through about 99% of it, but we took some "Vermont baby" pictures of her with the farm and tractors.  Jakob had a blast checking out the animals and petting chickens.  He's so brave!

Lovely day for farming
Everleigh thinks it's a lovely day for napping
I'm helping Mommy push Everleigh's stroller
Cow time!
I love it here
Old MacDonald had some tractors
All Vermont babies need their picture taken with a tractor by the time they're two weeks old, so we can check that off our to-do list!
Hee haw!
Time to hay these fields
Watching the chicken parade from high above the other guests
Come over here, hen!
Perhaps dreaming of farm animals and mountain views?
That's a LOT of bacon
I'm racing Daddy down the hill
These chickens were foolish enough to lay down
I'm touching it!!!
Check it out, Mommy.  No need to be afraid (unless you're the chicken)
I'm being gentle with the waddle

First Poop on the Potty!

I apologize that this whole post will qualify as TMI (and sorry, future Jakob, for the embarrassment it'll inevitably cause), but this is a big day in our house.  After I left for work today, Jakob went poop in his potty for the first time!  Dan noticed him straining and asked if he wanted to sit on the potty.  For the first time, Jakob said "uh huh," let Dan undress him, and sat on his potty until he was "all done."  He tried to flush it down about 10 times and was rather confused that it stayed in place, as opposed to what he sees the normal potty do, but he was VERY proud of himself nevertheless.  He said "Jakey did it" the whole way to daycare, and he even tried to go again when we got home.   We certainly don't expect this to be the new normal in our house, but we're very excited and proud of the little guy anyway.  Way to go Jakob on this big (although little, as you can see in the picture) milestone! A tiny deposit, but a big dea...

Playtime!

Jakob is loving his bouncer!  He's hilarious to watch when he's in it, because he gets such a serious look on his face when he's playing, and he refuses to straighten out his legs and instead just dangles in the seat. Tomorrow we've got his four month doctor's appointment.  I'm certain they're going to say he's healthy and doing a great job growing and developing, but like last time, I'm so nervous for his shots.  Keep your fingers crossed that he doesn't have any adverse reactions! Having all this fun is serious business Mom, please don't bother me.  Can't you see I've got playing to do?! So intriguing! Reading with Daddy is fun too. This Doctor Seuss guy is a wacko, but I like his style!
