Every year we somehow miss the cherry blossoms at the Botanic Gardens, even though they are right down the street. This year, we made sure we would catch them, and catch them we did. The Gardens were exploding with color and blossoms, and swarming with families. Jacob ate blossoms and crawled around looking for people who were sitting still enough for him to pull himself up on. What a beautiful day! We really feel lucky to be surrounded by so many wonderful things in this city of ours.

Bagel equal happy
Jacob is loving bagels recently. They feel good for chewing when a person's gums/teeth are bothering them. I try to get him whole wheat bagels so they are a little more nutritious - he can happily chew on one all morning long!
Birthday's a-comin'!
Jacob's first birthday is just around the corner: May 17th! I made a wish list for curious aunties, which is posted here and on the sidebar, but PLEASE don't feel like you need to get him something just because I made a list!
Bonding
About a month and a half ago, Jacob slowly started to self-wean from nursing. He just had too much energy during the day to slow down and nurse! It's been a slow, somewhat sad transition, but that boy loves his bottle now, and the good side is that Daddy now gets to join in on the meal-time bonding. He still nurses once or twice a day, but soon even that will be over! Our little baby is turning into a little boy.
Dancing with the Music
He has re-discovered this toy, and my heart just melts every time he looks up at me with delight and starts dancing when he realizes he made the music!
Daddy!
Jacob gets a little goofy at dinnertime, which is close to bedtime. And when Daddy is home, well, there is no shortage of tomfoolery.
Observe the completely blank look that washes over his face when Daddy disappears behind the corner. And the subsequent delight when he reappears! YAY FOR DADDY!
