Grandparents

All the kids ready to attend the White's Christmas neighbor party. 

You all have some of the most wonderful Grandparents! When we arrived to Richfield they ran outside to the van they was so excited. They couldn't wait to see all grand-kids. They loved on each of the older kids. I told them, "I have to nurse Jacob as soon as we get inside." 

We all got inside the building and seated. I started to get Jacob out and Grandma Jo caught a glimpse of Jacob let out a squeal she was so excited. She thought you were huge compared to when she saw you last. 

Grandpa has always taken a nap with each grand-baby. Here he is with Jacob. 

They were asleep then I got out the camera and they awoke.

Jacob 2 Month Checkup

 At Red Rock Pediatrics with Dr. Kaddu

Dr. Kaddu thought you were doing wonderful. He commented on how calm you were. You went through the entire exam with out voicing a peep. Dr. Kaddu also asked if you were the most mild mannered of the kids. Now that I think about it you probably are.

What a blessing to have you!
You are getting more expressive in your face.
You still make really cute baby sounds: yawns, squeaks, coos, and goos.

We had your brothers and sisters with us.

This picture was after your immunizations. For the oral one you didn't like the taste, but the MA did a great job and was patient giving you a little at a time. You of coarse wondered what happened when you got the shots. You calmed down quickly after I picked you up. I nursed you and got you dressed. Then we shot a few more pictures. 

You fell asleep in your carrier. When you woke up and started to move you could feel your sore lets. For the rest of the day you scram every time you started to move your legs. We rubbed your leg muscles to try and disperse the vaccine. I found some positions to hold you that were comfortable. The next day you were still a bit sore, but you were back to your happy self.

Sleeping Beau

Some Beau Synonyms: sweetheart, darling, dandy.

Definition of  dandy: an excellent thing of its kind.

Grandpa Winn, I think you would agree when I say,  "Jacob is a dandy."

Infact I think you would say, "A Jim dandy!"
