Young Ones Moments

Justin of the jungle.......

Jacob meets Hula for the first time. He was afraid and not happy.

Big brother protected him and tried to help him learn Hula wouldn't hurt him.

Hee, I'm so funny opening and slamming closed the kitchen cabinet doors!

Sometimes it takes a lot of concentration.....

He was pleased I found him funny. (Man in this picture he looks like his Grandma Linda)

hmmmmm, what are these little rubber things on each door?

Miss Callie Rose - she is getting so big! You would never know she was a preemie!

Shortcakes - aka Poopie is quite the protective one when it comes to baby's. He was not going to be far from Callie in case she needed him. He was this way with Jacob when he was a baby as well.

Too cute. Poopie stayed there until Callie woke up and flung her arms at him and clunked him on the top of the head!

Princess and Her Grandad

The pictures show the love and pride...........

Nirvana - Licking Beaters

Justin had a half school day yesterday so he baked brownies in the afternoon. He taught his brother Jacob how to lick the beaters.


Are you sure we do this Jus? Mommy's watching.

Oh boy, more please!

Are there more beaters to lick? (Gram Gram can't help but want to kiss the chocolate off Jacobs face!)

Our Super Star

Callie is doing so well and seems to be growing in leaps and bounds and making new changes. As Theresa reports she is getting chubby cheeks and filled our arms and legs. she has a Doctor appointment Monday so we learn then just how much she has changed. She can also move her head up and down when she is having tummy time on the floor. when holding her on your shoulder, she can turn her head side to side.

OMG this hat cracks me up. She looks like a fashionista elf!

I see both Shawn and Theresa in this shot.

Wowzers! She is strong enough to sit in her swing now. Very exciting!

Play time in her pastel wonderland.

Comfy, cozy and asleep in her car seat. I am almost recovered from the flu, then I am going to get my hands on this little heaven-sent doll!

Drive to Jen's House - A Storm in October

We left Tuesday for Jen's house during the worst storm we have seen this time of year in 40 years. In our area the wind was blowing a gale. In fact the paper said afterwards this was California's version of a hurricane.
Lots of rain everywhere.......

And we hit snow on the summit.........

David returned home Wednesday since I was staying to watch Jacob while Jen and John were at work during the day. He found one tree snapped off and on the ground, another split in two, and three more down but salvageable. Leaves and branches everywhere. The wind was really something we hear.

The drive home Friday was a breeze except for some commute traffic once we were back in our neck of the woods.

Time with Jen and Her Family

Spent 3 days baby sitting Jacob during the day while Jen and John were at work. Really enjoyed the one on one time with him, and the time spent with Justin, Jen and John later in the day. I ended up having to leave 2 days early though (late Friday afternoon) because I became ill. Seems to be a normal type cold/flu at this point. I missed Justin's last football game of the season (they made it to the play-offs!) and a grilling party. I just hope I didn't get anyone else sick in the family.

Jacob feeds himself with a fork and spoon now.

Open wide.....

Oh I love ravioli and green beans!

And look! I also can drink my milk out of a cup without a sippy top. I am growing up in leaps and bounds.

Jacob playing catch with Gram Gram.

Justin eating chips and salsa at Casa Baeza.

Jacob wearing...um eating his refried beans.

This soup doesn't look like much but it is so delicious.

A Jacob look .

This picture is a bit blurry but I had to post it anyway. Look at this pose he did. He saw the camera, stopped pushing his truck, put his hand on his hip and looked right at me. He is too funny!

Thumbs up!

Pretty In Pink

Mommy Theresa and Callie. Her outfit says it all.

A bundle of pink cuteness.
