10 months old!

I'm 10 months old!
Weight:  24.5 lbs
Height:  30"

I say "Hi, Daddy" all the time and give big sloppy kisses. 💗
I can sign the words "more", "tractor" and "bird" (in addition to the others).
I started teething again...
I love being outside. My favorite thing to do is to drive the Ranger (riding is ok, but I really want to be in front of the steering wheel).

I don't have much hope for our monthly photo shoots in the future. The more mobile he becomes, the harder it is to get a picture that isn't blurry (or isn't just a picture of the background since he's so quick to get away!)

What could be more fun?

Misc.

A couple of our nieces received their First Holy Communion yesterday.

Spring happenings

We don't have a lot of spring flowers at our place, but the ones that we do have are in full bloom.

Bleeding Heart

Creeping Phlox 

Grape Hyacinth 

Flowering Pear trees

My two out-of-state sisters were both here so we got a picture of the four of us.

Hiking at Governor Dodge State Park. 

Stephen's Falls 

Jacob was a little scared of the Ranger the first 2 times he rode it this spring. Since then, he's been attracted to it like a magnet. And it's not enough for him to ride, he always wants to drive. 

The menfolk tilled our gardens so we were able to get them planted last week.

Helping with the seed packets 

 

Grandma B gave Jacob a tractor magazine and he just loves looking through it!

Swimming

We went to a hotel pool/waterpark earlier this week. Jacob was less than thrilled about touching the water, but he was happy enough sitting in a little chair on the sidelines. 

Spring is here!

What's just as fun as pushing around cars, trucks and tractors?

A door stop, of course!

Dad took a break from his fencing work to play with us.

We went to Dubuque the other day. Perfect weather for a walk in the park!

Calf #4.

Our first flowers of the year!

Our magnolia is blooming.
