8 Months Old

Jacob turned 8 months old on Monday. His new thing now is to pull himself up on things and stand. He kind of tries to walk a little too. He is doing really well. He crawling all over the place and exploring. Getting into things that he shouldn't so we have to watch him very carefully. He really likes cords and plastic bags, two things he can't have of course. He's a good little eater. He's been eating cereal and fruit for breakfast at daycare and then he eats dinner at home. We've tried just about everything I think.

Ice Fishing

Just after New Years, we took Jacob to Lake of the Woods to go ice fishing. The fishing weren't biting much but it was fun anyway. Sharon stayed in the cabin in the mornings with Jacob and the we went and got them at lunchtime. The icehouse was nice and big, so we could bring the pack 'n play out for Jacob of be in. Jacob is sitting with Daddy fishing.



Jacob catching his first walleye. It's just his size. He liked to grab the tail of the fish. It was pretty funny. He wasn't scared of the fish at all. He was pretty curious.




Here is my eel pout. It's a really slimmy icky fish. We all caught one, but I got the biggest one. It was a 5 pounder.


Jeff caught a nice 1 lb 1 oz perch.



Here is a video of Jacob catching his walleye.

My 1st Christmas

I brought Jacob to see Santa at the Apache Mall a couple weeks before Christmas. He didn't really know what to think as he has a blank look of his face. Christmas was great....Jacob got lots of good stuff.

Christmas morning Jacob's looking at all the presents under the Christmas tree.


Jacob's opening his first Christmas present. He did pretty good for the first time.

Opening all those presents pooped me out, so I had to take a nap.

Here is a video of Jacob trying to open a present.
