I bought this diaper bag after using a designer one for the first 4 months of my sons life. I love this bag. It holds everything that I needs and still has room. I love that when I get all the things into it that it still closes. I would buy this again in a heart beat.

Just another Tuesday

Nothing really fun happen today. Hans and I both had to work and Jacob went to Oma's. Oma had some errands to run so she brought Jacob to me at work and that is always nice. Saves me the drive all the way to south Anchorage. Jacob and I stopped at Sam's club to pick up a few items and then headed home. Hans and I both had some homework to do after eating dinner.

Tomorrow is Jacob's 4 month doctors appointment. I thought this weekend that it was today, but that was me that had an appointment. Hans is taking him to see good old Dr. Keller. I can't wait to see how much he has grown! My guess is that he is around 13 to 14 lbs and at least 25 inches.

The fun part of our evening was Jacob's bath time. We used his bath tub that my mom got us and he loved being in it! He liked the warm water and was never fussy while taking his bath tonight! Here is a picture from after our bath! Image and video hosting by TinyPic

And here are some pictures from Sunday while Jacob and Daddy were watching football and having boy time!

Lazy evening

Today Hans started his new classes! He is on his way to getting his electrical dispatchers degree. The way his classes work is he is in one at a time. So the one that he started today is 3 weeks long. He came home from work and we had dinner then he went right to work on his homework.

I picked Jacob up from Oma's today and she said that he didn't have a very good day. She thinks that his mouth was bothering him. We believe that he is teething due to the symptoms and how he is acting. Poor little guy. So because he was not in the best mood, we bypassed going to Sam's club and just came home. I made dinner and when Hans got home we ate. Then while Hans was doing his homework, Jacob and I have been just lounging around on the recliner. He keeps on wanting to nurse and will fall asleep. But as soon as I move an inch, he is back up and ready to go for a little bit. I tried to lay him down in the crib thinking that I had gotten him to fall into a deep sleep. But of course he woke up as soon as I laid him down he woke up. I let him lay in his crib and watched him from a distance. It was really funny and cool to watch him explore his crib. Since he will only sleep on his tummy, he pushed him self up and was looking all around. He was trying to grab at the Winnie-the-pooh's that are on the crib sheet! Once he realized that he couldn't grab them and put them in his mouth he scooted himself the other way and was looking all around. Then he finally flipped himself onto his back and was happy that way for a few minutes. While on his back he even managed to find his passifier and was trying really hard to pick it up from above his head and get it to chew on.

So now we are sitting here, Jacob and I as I am updating the blog and he should be going to sleep, but nope, he is sitting here filling his diaper! So on that note, we are off to go and change him and head to bed. Oh a on a good note, Hans did just fine driving today. Yes it was the 4 year mark after his accident, but it turned out to be a good day!

2nd post!

OK so I started this blog, but have not been very good about posting on it. So I am going to try and be a good "blogger" and post to it weekly. Tonight we had dinner at our friends Megan and Mike's (also known as M&M) Megan made a very yummy ham! We also got to meet Mike's grandmother who is up here visiting for the week.

Jacob is 4 months old already! He goes on Tuesday for his 4 month visit to the doctor. Hans is taking him so that I don't have to take the time off of work, and since he was able to switch his shift and not take any time off himself. Image and video hosting by TinyPic Here he is sitting up with the help of the boppy pillow! I can't believe he is already so big!

So tomorrow is kind of a bittersweet day for Hans. He is starting his new program for Electrical Dispatch, but it is also the 4 year anniversary of his car accident. We are grateful for every day since that accident. 1 week in ICU, 4 of them on life support, a total of 1 month in the hospital, 10 surgery's later and they have him most of the way put back together. He has a titanium rod in his right leg held in by 3 screws. Then he has 3 plates and 18 screws in his left arm. The doctors have cleared him to have the plates and screws taken out of his arm, but he is not to thrilled to have them taken out since it would mean another surgery that just isn't necessary. So for now he will just keep them in unless they start to bother him.
