Mr. Porky Pants and Miss. Tappy Toes

Well we will start this one off with Jacob. He had his two month appointment. He weighed 14.1 pounds that puts him in the 95% for weight and is 24 inches long which puts him in the 80%. We have a big boy on our hands. The acid reflux is certainly not hurting his growth.

Now on to update for both of the kids get ready for a ride. Here is a random shot of a photo shoot of Jacob.

This is a picture of Jacob's new love. When ever he is crying you can take him to it and all is better. He will immediately start to smile and talk.
Jacob also had his first overnight visit at Grandma's of course we all went. Here he and Daddy are having a hard time getting up in the morning.
We also made some special visits while we were there. We all went to visit my Dad's and Grandma's graves. Now some may think this is morbid, but I feel that Jacob deserves a picture with his Pa and Great Grandma too.
Ella had been gearing up for many special events.

This is her on Graduation picture day.
The attitude is more than I can handle.
Then it was off to the fire house. Now many of you may remember that we did have a kitchen fire awhile ago. Since then Ella is very afraid of the fireman. This year however she did get into the truck that was a big deal.
Then the dance recital. Now there was a lot of drama around the dance recital. She did not like how her hair needed to be done and was afraid to go on stage. There were many arguments and tears over this, but here is the end result. She did get on stage by the way.
This was the tap costume.
This is the ballet costume.
That was her own pose.

Then there was a pool party at the YMCA. Jacob made his first pool visit. He seemed to like it.
Ella is getting much better in the pool. in fact the other day at the lake she put her face in the water with goggles on. A big step for her.
Then my little girl graduated from preschool. Again there were many tears. Ella was very sad to leave her school and so was I. I cried also. They had a slide show and it was more then I could handle.
Strawberry picking was the next adventure that we went on. 10 quarts of berries made for some yummy jam and eating.

Then it was off for an overnight at Auntie Edna's house. Jacob was not very pleased with this deal. I think he did not like the smell of Uncle Freddy. Ha Ha Ha Ha. This is Ella sleeping on the way there. We had not even gotten to the activities.

While at Auntie Edna's we went to the Strong National Museum of Play. Ella was able to see a butterfly garden, shop at a kid's Wegmans, visit Sesame Street, and many other fun things.

While at the museum Ella was part of a play that a group of kids put on spontaneously.

And now we are on to our summer fun. Dance in the park, music and movie in the park, story time at the library on the lawn, baseball games, and the lake.

Funny note to end on today while getting this ready was a whopper. While outside Ella decided to breast feed her doll.

Then once inside for lunch Jacob has a complete blow out. The car seat is covered, his clothes. I start trying to change him and I know it is bad, when the baby gags. Lord help me!!!!!!!
