Jacob turned 4 months this week and we have been seeing so many changes in him. First of all he is growing like crazy, he is already 15 lbs!!! He is also getting to be a lot more fun to interact with. He is laughing a lot more, he turns to you when you call his name a few times, he is talking more, just overall a happier baby. He is also able to entertain himself more. He loves to reach for things and try to grab them and loves to play with his hands and feet. We are just having so much fun watching him learn new things all the time.

Our First Family Vacation to CA (June 23-June 28)

One of Sarah's roommates from college was getting married in CA, so we decided to plan a family vacation around it. This was our first vacation with Jacob and he did soooo good! We started our journey at 3am so that Jacob would sleep and he slept the whole trip, yay!! We met up with my best friend from college, Jen, and her husband Adam. We got to meet her daughter Rubie for the first time and Jen got to meet Jacob. We stayed up in Crestline where Adam's parents live. The weather was beautiful, so we got to hang out by the lake a few times, visit Thousand Pines Camp where Jen and I worked 3 summers, and show Chad Lake Arrowhead. We got to visit some friends from camp and their kids which was fun catching up. Friday night we drove down to Orange County for Lindsey's wedding which was very nice. Saturday we went to Hunington Beach, we laid out on the sand, made sand castles, watched street performers, went to Wahoo Tacos :) and then we drove on to Balboa Beach. We took to the ferry to see Balboa Island to go check that out. Sunday we went back to Balboa Beach to go for a family bike ride down the beach front which was so much fun on a tandum bike (and Jacob attached to me in a bjorn). We enjoyed hanging out there all day and then jumped in the car and drove 6 hours home, Jacob slept the whole wayyyyyy, it was soooo nice.
