Check out this sweet jungle gym.Jacoby looks like he's ready for a jungle safari.
Beep beep!

Ice cream was necessary in this heat.

It's so good when it hits your lips.

She thinks my tractor is sexy.

I learned the hard way that this was not a slide.

Play it Jacoby!

So happy to be out of the heat.

Easter

2010-04-19T18:23:00.001-07:00

Look what the Easter Bunny hid around Grandma's house! He even left us boys Easter baskets!

Here I am gearing up for our big Easter egg hunt...checking out the competition.

He can't reach the eggs in the walker.

I've got to watch out for Zachary, he's fast.

Vincent looks like he already ate one too many eggs.

And we're off!!!

I hope that egg is filled with puffs!

Where to next?

That's just mean.

Don't help him Mommy!

Pausing for a pic.

The gang ready to eat the loot.

It was a tough hunt for Vincent, good thing Uncle Mike was there for support.

Look we're TWINS!

Getting ready for summer...

2010-04-19T17:55:00.000-07:00

Look what I can ride this year! I love this ride!

Check out Stinky's face. They had just waxed the slide and we got some air under us!

I need one of these at home.

Good thing it's not a stick shift.

Jacoby wasn't happy when the car bounced....

he would rather walk.

I love rides.

Not too happy he can't go on the rides...

Grandma on the other hand got into the action.

Keep it down Stinky!!!

Random pics

A trip to Nanny and Pop Pop's in NC

2010-03-29T18:57:00.000-07:00

It's nice and warm down here in NC. Don't be a backseat driver.
WHAT...Yeah...Okay

Mom I need a motorcycle to go with my helmet.

Chillin outside. Picking up sticks for Pop Pop.

So serious.

Vincent finally gets to touch grass.

Vincent, Pop Pop's jokes aren't that bad.

Here we are at the Science museum in Wilson NC.

How many Mommy and Vincent's are there.

ROARRRR!!!

Look Pop Pop I think I see the snake that scared Nana .

We're in what state??? We were looking for Tank the dog that swam too far out in the pond.

Trying to whistle like Pop Pop...Here TANK!!!

Vincent and Nana.

Chewy give me paw.

Trying to run as fast as the animals at the science museum.

Another trip to the circus

2010-03-29T18:28:00.000-07:00

I still love those elephants!Sleepy time on the metro.

I thought there would be lions at the circus not just tigers.

Vincent enjoyed most of the circus.

Props to Daddy for getting GREAT seats 6 rows back!!!

I was intrigued by the show.

On the metro

2010-03-29T18:21:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple pictures of us on the metro going downtown. Check out Jacoby's blog jacobywc.blogspot.com for pictures of our fun trips into DC. Next time Mommy promises to bring her own camera.

Guess who's back in town...

2010-03-29T18:10:00.000-07:00

Jacoby!!! Vincent and Jacoby are easily amused by me. The gang's all here.

Jacoby looks so cute in my car....IN my car... ask Stinky Ange about that story :)

As usual stuffing his face with puffs.

Sleep over at Grandma and Poppy's house

2010-03-29T17:58:00.000-07:00

Vincent and I went to Grandma's while Mommy and Daddy went to Stinky Ange's house for a grape juice party??? I don't think Jacoby wanted us to be there. No Uncle EJ, Vincent doesn't have a big head...he just doesn't have a neck.

I think Grandma is rubbing off on me.

Doing another one hundred piece puzzle.

Jumping bean

Vincent's 3 Months Old!

2010-02-21T18:53:00.000-08:00

Don't worry I am just offering Vincent a bite of my apple...I am not in the rest of these pictures, but that was by choice. I have been refusing to let Mommy take pictures of me. Vincent deep in thought.
He finds my roaring hysterical.

Hamming it up for the camera.

The spiked look.

It's not that funny.

Mommy had a photo shoot with Vincent while I was "taking a nap". She put him up on the ottoman and all he wanted to do was roll over.

Daddy holding his legs down for one drool photo.

Happy to be off of his belly.

Puzzle Master

2010-02-21T18:32:00.000-08:00

Mommy wanted to show you the puzzle that I put together all by myself. This is the 100 piece dinosaur puzzle my Great Nanny got me for Christmas. This weekend I tried it by myself!!! Yes I am in different pajamas. I like to put a few pieces together and then go back later.
I made Mommy laugh when I asked her for help on the last piece.

Now that this is finished...who's up for Candy Land??? (AGAIN!)

Happy Valentine's Day

2010-02-21T18:10:00.000-08:00

Watch out ladies...the boys are back in town! Lock up your daughters!
Leave her alone Vincent! Stinky is my Valentine! I even made her a card and gave her a chocolate filled heart. Sorry to show you up Uncle Mike.

Vincent tried cereal for the first time. Mommy says she will try anything to help with the spitting up.

I think he likes it!

Popping your pants button is only cute when you're a baby.

Snowed In

2010-02-21T17:19:00.000-08:00

Who knew we could get 30 inches of snow down here in Maryland? So what were we to do? Eat our way out?
Getting a little full!

Daddy says don't eat the yellow snow.

Play king of the mountain...

or play king of tummy time?

We also made Valentine's day cookies...

ate too much sugar...

batted my blue eyes to play "one more" game of Candy Land...

finally let Mommy get a good picture of the boys.

The waiting game...

2009-11-13T11:23:00.001-08:00

The nursery is finally finished. All we need is the baby! Let's just hope Vincent is a Yankee fan. Mommy let me help paint the stripes and I also made the picture frame for him. Wait till you see the gift I made for when he arrives. We'll keep you posted.

Guess who turned 3???

2009-11-13T10:32:00.000-08:00

Thanks everyone for coming to my party! I loved all my presents and had a blast playing games and eating cake. I'm glad no one listened to Mommy when she said no party this year.

Let's just work on the singing for next year! Making puppets on my birthday.

I was very upset when maggie wouldn't wear the yellow one I made for her.
Check out this awesome fishing game my friend Erin made. Sorry Uncle Mike I think Erin has the creative gene in the family. Thanks for my new outfit Auntie V!

I love cake! Do you like the cake I picked out?

The singing made me smile.

Check out my new doctor kit! I am really good at giving shots.

Jacoby doesn't want the bottle he wants your glasses Poppy!

Update

2009-06-28T05:12:00.000-07:00

Mommy was so excited about Jacoby being born that she forgot to put pictures of me on the blog. Here are some from the week I spent up in NJ at the beach and visiting family.

Check out this HUGE fish Poppy caught! It was a 29 lb Stripper.

Watching the Yankee's instead of napping.

Watch out I am dangerous on my "cooter".

I turned my hat around to look just like Poppy.

I love the beach!

It was a little chilly so Mommy told me I could only get my feet wet.

Opps! I don't listen very well.

Just digging.

What's in the cup Poppy?

Here are pictures from Baby Zachary's Christening.

I always find things to play with...this was not a sandbox.

You really like the Mets over the Yankees?

Let me hold him Mommy!

Just hanging around the house as usual. I love to read.

Mommy said I could help her plant the flowers.

Stop taking pictures and help me!

Yes, I am sitting in the bag of dirt.

Just another tough day playing in the dirt.

Happy Father's Day

2009-06-28T04:30:00.001-07:00

Here I am painting a gift to give Daddy on Father's Day.

When Daddy woke up we made pancakes together. They are my

favorite!

I am so proud of the picture frame I made for Daddy.

After breakfast we went to a place where Mommy found out that I am going to have a little brother! Then we went to Stinky Ange and Uncle Mike's to celebrate and let Daddy meet Jacoby for the first time.

When we got home I let Daddy read his FAVORITE book to me.

I got a special present on Father's Day too. Check out my new chair! I love sitting in it and reading. Mommy even tells me that we can bring it to the beach.

Check out the elephant!

Can you guess who got this for me? Thanks Auntie Leah and Uncle EJ. Sorry we didn't get to see you on Father's Day but we will catch up in August!

This video is to show my Auntie and Uncle up in VT that I like the same showthey watch. At least that is what Grandma tells me. This show is soooo funny!I even like to pretend that I am on the show.

I am a Ninja Warrior...don't try this at home.

Does Jacoby look like me?

2009-06-16T17:18:00.000-07:00

This is Jacoby home from the hospital.

Here is a picture of me when I came home from the hospital.

Meet my new cousin!!!

2009-06-15T16:52:00.001-07:00

Welcome to the world Jacoby William!!! My Aunt Stinky and Uncle Mike had a baby boy on June 14th at 11:08 am. He was 8lbs 2oz and 20 3/4 inches long. He was a big baby just like me!

Look how cute he is!

Jacoby liked my Mommy. She was whispering something about giving him sugar water bottles.

Don't worry Jacoby your Daddy will only lecture you about baby physics once a week.

...and Grandma also has this great house where you can run laps in when you get bigger.

Watch out Poppy!!!

He has blue eyes just like me!

Okay ladies I can handle this.

This little guy moves a lot!!!

Stick with me Jacoby and you will be just fine!

Let's Go Yankees!

2009-05-19T05:09:00.000-07:00

On Mother's Day we went to Baltimore to watch the Yankees play. Here I am at the inner harbor looking for ducks with Uncle Mike.

Daddy, Uncle Mike, and I got to ride the paddle boats. I was a little nervous.

This doesn't look like Pop Pop's boat.

Mommy!!!

Hey guys that's not the USS Augusta.

I would make a good captain!

I like wearing my Yankee hat just like Daddy.

Let's go Yankees!

This popcorn is really good.

Don't we look like excited Yankee fans? By the way I did eat the entire bag of popcorn in case you were wondering.

No a birdie did not poop on my Daddy I dripped ice cream all over him because...

I was falling asleep. Hey at least I made it through the game!

Hanging around the house

2009-05-18T17:51:00.000-07:00

Mommy does not like it when I walk towards her while she takes a picture.

I like to help daddy with the yard work as much as possible.

I am a little devil with the hose...

you better run daddy!

This was my first pizza and a movie night.

Next time we are ordering out. Making pizza is too messy!

Do you think I enjoyed it???

Just another rainy day

2009-05-05T05:12:00.000-07:00

Look what I colored!

I call this my abstract elephant collection.

I like pretending to be an elephant. Does anyone have any peanuts?

Look! I am a flamingo....at least that is what I told mommy.

I hope you can hear me sing through my trunk.
It is the elephant song from my favorite Barney show.

Mommy told me that we are going to go see the Yankees this weekend.

I decided I should practice my cheer.

Big News!!!

2009-04-20T18:17:00.000-07:00

Easter

2009-04-20T16:14:00.000-07:00

Cousin Andy is good at putting puzzles together but I am still the puzzle king! Who thought putting stickers in the eggs was a good idea?
Where are those jellybeans? Did someone cut me off from the candy?

The Easter bunny hid lots of eggs in Grandma's backyard!

Where could that silly bunny have hid them?

I hope these eggs are filled with candy. I need a sugar fix.

It's okay cousin Andy, Grandma doesn't mind if I trample her flowers.

I like pushing baby Zachary in his swing.

Chocolate for breakfast was a bad choice.

Cool! The doll likes to watch Barney too!

Look at all the candy and toys I got. Mommy and Daddy said the Easter Bunny brought me a doll because I need to learn how to be gentle. I wasn't really listening I was too busy banging the doll's head into the table.

I found my Easter basket!!!!

easter weekend

2009-04-13T16:54:00.001-07:00

Sorry the pictures are all scrambled.

These things taste as good as they look.

A little longer and this egg will match my hand.

See I'm not scared of the Easter Bunny... just don't ask me to get any closer!

Elefun is a great game!

Look at all the butterflies I caught.

This stuff is pretty amazing.

Nanny was a great help with the eggs.

Daddy and I are on the tractor ride out to the field filled with Easter eggs.

I am listening to the story waiting to start the Easter egg hunt.

Here I am hopping like a bunny.

No time for pictures there are eggs to be found.

High five for candy!

The blog is officially updated

2009-04-05T19:03:00.001-07:00

Mommy has finally updated the blog!!! To be fair we have been very busy lately. We have moved a lot in the past year but now we are settling down in MD just outside DC. Daddy is off the boat and works at the pentagon although I think he works at the "train nation". I am still having problems with pronouncing "st". Anyways, enjoy catching up with my photos and Mommy promises to take more pictures and post them.

The elephant is going to get me! Enjoying a great day downtown!
Just let me play in the water please!

Uncle Mike, can you bring me to the top in my stroller?

Mommy and Daddy took me to the circus today!

Just in case you don't know, I lOVE ELEPHANTS!!!!

Do you think I liked the circus?

I don't know if Mommy was taking a picture of me or the capital?

Next stop is the new house! I like riding the metro.

This was my first time playing in the snow. The best part was warm ovalitine with marshmallows!

Maggie does not like the snow as much as I do.

Having fun in the snow

This stuff tastes great! I can't eat it fast enough.

"Helping" Daddy work on the house

Thanks Santa!

Don't you dare let go of me Mommy! I am holding on to your dress! By the way where is Daddy????

Yes, I ran from Santa screaming till this nice lady picked me up. I ran from Mommy because she was too close to that Jolly old fellow.

My 2nd Birthday Party

No, I am not sharing the cake with you!

I do not want to get my picture taken!

Don't I make a cute pumpkin?

I like trick or treating!

If I look a little scared it's because I got my head stuck in one of these things before! I'm sure you are all laughing but it wasn't so funny when I started screaming and made a scene.

Cheese!

Finally an update...

Hey Uncle Mike, have you ever been cow tipping? What is this thing?
Mommy, next time bring quarters for the machine so I don't have to pick the food off the ground to feed the animals.
No really I'm blushing.
Share you animals!
Here I am playing in the fountains at the Zoo. Don't worry the animals aren't allowed to play.
Wow that's cold!!!
I better close my mouth this time.
One, two, three, go!
Help me up Uncle Mike.

Barnes and Noble

Bubbles PLEASE!!!These bubbles make me go crazy!
Come on guys get the bubbles.
Uncle Mike and I are making a Lady Bug to bring home to Daddy since he had to work today.Did they teach you how to use a glue stick in the Navy?

Hopefully you can't tell I am eating the paper since Mommy posted the picture sideways. I got one dot down before anyone noticed. What? You wouldn't see if they tasted good? Uncle Mike ate the glue.

Play-Date

2008-06-20T16:41:00.000-07:00

These homemade ice pops are great!
I'm all smiles.
I wonder if Maggie likes ice pops?

Playing ball

2008-06-20T05:57:00.000-07:00

Daddy knows me too well, I couldn't resist the temptation of an animal cracker. I just want you to know Daddy, I am still the man of the house. However, I recommend you listen to Mommy.
Mommy was waiting a long time for this hug.

It took me a little bit, but I recognized Daddy.

2007-09-26T18:43:00.000-07:00

This is the sign Aunt Ange, Uncle Mike, Mommy and I made.
