first ouchie

ok, maybe not his first. he has had his share of scratches, scrapes, and bruises for his age. but last night was his first major ouchie. showing off for his visitors, pappie and gammie pié, jacob was all over the house going from toy to toy. he tripped over his big feet and ended up falling and smacking his lip right on the corner between the living room and kitchen. it was the most blood i have seen come from his little body in his 15 months of life. it was surely sad, (and i know the first of many more ouchies). but the bleeding stopped quickly and it only took 5 minutes to calm him down (thank goodness his "puppy" was just in the next room- waiting to be hugged!). and now he has a nice split on his swollen lip - too sore for kisses i am sure. :(



and as much as i hate spiders (and jesse too), we just can't stop looking at this picture jesse took of a spider that was making it's home in our bathroom window (on the outside of course). it's amazing how even the littlest of God's creatures can have such intricate detail and design. to give a little perspective, this spider's body had about the same diameter as a dime. too big for me! and good thing is, we haven't seen him since that one night jesse took the picture. or maybe that is not such a good thing???


i can't resist sharing these pictures either. jacob has learned how to "dippy-dip" his hot dogs, french fries, and nuggets into ketchup. the other night he was dipping his peas...and then we realized he was just dipping his fingers and eating the ketchup straight-up. so cute!


and this is jacob on sunday morning watching airplanes in our backyard.
