squash and pumpkin

i tried to be creative- carved my pumpkin this weekend with polka dots all over. it ended up looking like a swiss cheese pumpkin. but i like it anyway- so go ahead and laugh.

jacob had his first real food this weekend. he ate squash on sunday evening and seemed to love it. i have attached a video.

sick and growing

jacob is almost 6 months...and showing signs of wanting to crawl. he was sick this past week with a fever for 3 days, followed by a rash on his belly and face. we think it was roseola. whatever it was, it's gone, and we're glad!

when you are married to an artist

this is what happens when you are married to an artist...and he has friends who are artists... and they just might happen to have too much time on their hands. yes, this is a doctored picture.... no, we did not put a real cigar in jacob's hand. and no, we did not buy jacob a mini leather chair. so, enjoy-compliments of Travis Wilson

studio pics

jacob had pictures taken by lauren at the studio 2 weeks ago. here they are: http://www.laurenbryson.com/jacob

still here

wow- i am realizing i havent written in over a week, and havent posted pictures in about 2. we've been a busy family, keeping up with everyday life. we had visitors last weekend- grandma & grandpa pié and uncle josh & aunt heidi (pié). jacob charmed everyone with his big smiles a little giggles, aunt heidi and unlce josh got to see the creation museum, and we all enjoyed a sermon by Ken Ham on sunday morning.

their eyes meet

so, my friend candace is getting ready to head back to work in another week. we plan to have a "child swap" and watch each other's baby as the other goes to work. so in preparation for that, we have been doing practice rounds. here are some cutie pictures that candace took while she had the kids (both awake at the same time, might i add!): http://leeandcandacenordine.blogspot.com/2007/10/soap-opera.html
