April update

It’s been a busy couple weeks since the last post. Jacob’s up to 8 teeth and getting so close to walking. We’ve caught him a couple times standing by himself and even taking a step from chair to couch with no hands. He’ll walk with us only using one hand. And Jacob’s been trying to climb up Mom and Dad…as well as all his toys and the furniture. Jacob continues to show his love for Tyler and Izzie, hugging/attacking them every chance he gets.

The weather here’s getting nicer (finally staying above freezing at night!), so the day care kids are outside playing most days. To help Jacob keep up with the big kids, we went on a shoe shopping trip over the weekend. He’s now got some cool silver Nike’s for playing outside and some sandals for when it gets warmer. The first couple of times Jacob didn’t know what to think of his shoes, but he’s OK with them now. We tried out his new shoes with a trip to the playground and his first time on the slide.

Last weekend we repainted our bathroom, after removing the 25+ year old pink rose wallpaper. A big job, but we now have a bright and sunny bathroom. After taking paper off in two rooms, we’re very sure we never want to do it again! Next on our list is staining the deck and then more painting inside.
