1/2 in 1/2 out

HA! You are most likely going to think we're weird. But most of you know we are anyway.

We realized today is Jacob's 1/2 in and 1/2 out birthday. He's 259 days old today and he was also alive in my tummy for 259 days (if my calculations are correct). So, we've created a new 'hallmark day' called 1/2 in 1/2 out day:) HA! Happy 1/2 Day Jacob.

This weekend was good. Friday night we went to check out campers and RV's at the RV show, pretty cool things there!. We are wanting an RV or camper for our sabbatical (8 weeks paid vacation) this summer. We are trying to determine to rent or buy. Then on Saturday morning, Ethan had his last basket ball game. It was so exciting. Ethan is great at defense, but hasn't scored all year, so the entire team was trying so hard to get him the ball to score. He had some super close moments, but nothing was going in. It was so sad because he wanted it so bad - he was on the ground going after loose balls and causing turnovers and shooting. At the end of the game we were all in tears, but he's recovered and ready for next year. What a fun game.

Saturday afternoon, Jason and Ethan went with a neighbor on his new boat and got the experience of going 75mph in a boat through Downtown Portland. I'm sure the fishermen loved them. They had a great time though.

Jacob is up to 3 meals a day and loving it. He's eating cheese, saltines, cheerios, dried apples and a boat load of cereal and veggies and is pretty much just likes pears for fruit. He's walking all over (while holding onto our fingers) and is starting to let go of us to try standing on his own. He wants to walk so bad, it's really cute. He is absolutely loving Ethan. We are cool, but Ethan is the best ever in his book. He just laughs and looks at him and looks some more and laughs. It is so wonderful to see them bond. Ethan loves it too, of course. He's mentioned getting ready for another little one, I guess it's pretty cool to be some one's hero!

Well, that's all the update, just wanted to mention our new thought! - 1/2 in 1/2 out Day!

Oh, I almost forgot the other big news. Jacob's teeth #3 and #4 made an appearance this weekend. The top front 2 teeth are here. He's doing much better with these than the first, so that is good. He is going to look so different with his new teeth. I still haven't gotten over how cute the bottom ones are, and now he's changing again. How amazing.
