WACKY DRUNK DRIVERS

Holy crap. Came out of work thought i was going to be robbed. instead it was a drunk dude passed out in his car parked cockeyed with his flashers on! He hit the throttle and ran over the curb and took out a sign . It woke him up he freaked out. I went to see if he was ok as I opened his door. He threw it in reverse almost ran me over. Hit me in the side with his door. I think I knocked it off its hinge. Then jumped the curb almost ran into my restraunt and took off. As he tore out of the parking lot he ran over 3 different medians and then smashed head on into the median trying to get onto elliot. After he was able to get off of being high centered on the median He then took off and jumped on I10 and took off flashers still going! WOW what a way to end my night!

Throw the ball

We went to home depot the other day and they are having vendors come in and give away free food and stuff. Jacob got a ball from Sonic Burger and he plays with it all the time but this night he thought why not try to be a big boy and show mom and dad what an arm he has! This is what he did for about an hour and he's only 10 months now.

Little sliding Monkey

We have been going to the mall lateley to give Jacob something to do. he needs to always be on the go. Well we like to go to the jugle gym play area. Since he like the stairs at our house so much we thought Chad though he would see what Jacob would do if he was put at the base of the stairs of a little slide that stands about 3 feet off the ground. This is what we watched him do the first time we stood in front of the stairs to the slide. Our little daredevil!

Getting a Laugh

Well now since we got one of those new flip cameras for Christmas it has been fun catching Jacob in all kinds of trouble. For some reason I was laying on the ground while Jacob was being so fussy. He crawled up on me and of course as Dads have to do, I started to pick on him. He got some new foam block toys from my uncle David and I was blowing one at him as he tried to knock it out of my mouth. He thought it was so funny. I love when he starts to get giddy.

ChristmasLaughs

As we all know Christmas at teh Bairds can be well.... interesting. since I married Sarah, Russ and Dodie have been coming to the Christmas eve festivities. This means plenty of gag gifts and jokes played on one another. The GIANT ashtray from the 70's was back and so was the heart from the doctors office. John I wish you could have been there. We cleared the room of the kiddos and Christmas went PG13. Poor dave and Natalie we ruined 'em. After Bob got 50 Million in Obama bucks then this is what Russ got. This was a great Christmas and we can't wait to wake up in the morning and do our family Christmas!

If you can't tell what is so funny the boobs bounce to the music. watch carefully again as they dance up and down to the beat of the song!

TEXAS VACATION Nov 11-Nov 17

We had a wonderful time on our 2nd vacation with Jacob. This was our first time flying with him and he did great. We flew into Dallas and drove to my sister's house.
We drove to the watergardens in Fort Worth, which was pretty cool.



That night we had a good time at Main Event playing video games and then headed over to Joe's Crab Shack for dinner, YUMMY!!!! The next day we went to downtown Dallas to see the grassy knoll where Kennedy got shot. Chad had a great time seeing the area and the museum and hearing the theories behind the shooting. We then checked out the new Hard Rock cafe in Dallas. Saturday night Chad and I drove back into Dallas to go to SamOwen's wedding. The reception was amazing, being at the top level of a hotel and huge windows looking out over all of Dallas.



Chad had a great time meeting up with people from CO that he has not seen for a long time. Our time with Jackie and Charlie and their girls was a ton of fun. Jackie was so good to Jacob taking him for walks and feeding him and rocking him to sleep.
Sunday we drove all the way to Houston to go to my uncle's house. My uncle John has a beautiful house, a nice boat, jet skis and a hot tub. So even though it was pretty cold outside, we still went for a boat ride and rode the jet skis, WITH WINTER COATS ON :) we were the only people on the lake!

John fed us some really good food, my dad tried lobster for the 1st time, and overall we had a great time there.
Jacob was soooooo good for the trip. He had a few times when he got fussy because of being tired or waking up in the middle of the night and not wanting to go back to sleep (car rides at 3am to put a baby back to sleep are fun times ;) but Chad and I were really proud of him.

6 and 1/2 months

Jacob has come a long way since the last time I have posted. He has been so much easier the last month. A big part of that is because he is able to sit up and crawl now so he is able to get where he wants to go. He has been great with all the different baby foods, so far he has had peas, beans, squash, prunes, pears and rice cereal. He does try to put everything in his mouth now so maybe he would eat anything I would give him....He has been taking 2-3 long naps during the day and he sleeps through the night, which has been WONDERFUL for me. It has been so fun to see how his mind and body develop in months...
That is about it for Jacob. Chad has started management training at his job so he will be very busy with work for the next 3 months.
We are staying away from my brother's family right now, 3 out of his 4 kids have the swine flu. The 1 year old and the 2 parents have not gotten it yet, hopefully they can some how make it through without getting it.
