Poor Jacob

I don't have any new pictures right now, but I haven't updated for awhile so I wanted to do that. For the past week, I've been dealing with a snotty-nosed baby. Literally--poor Jacob got his first cold. He started off sneezing a lot and rubbing his nose, and then it started to run like a faucet. Sometimes I couldn't tell whether he had drool or boogers running off his chin. Yuck. He barely lets me near him with a Kleenex, much less the nose-sucker thing, so I couldn't help him out very much. Now, after almost a week, his nose is less runny but I think it's starting to stuff up. He's battling this cold pretty well, and hasn't seemed too miserable. I would probably be more broken up over "my baby's first cold" if he hadn't had all those tummy issues when he was 1-2 months old. I think that was way worse than this.

We spent Saturday over at Uncle Mike and (soon-to-be) Aunt Katie's house. They had a pool party, and it was a nice hot day for it. Grandpa and Grandma Schoenbauer brought a little pool for the kids to play in. Jacob took a few dips in it, and even went in the big pool with Daddy for a little bit. He also liked sitting at the edge of the pool and kicking the water. He took one nice, long nap in the afternoon, and when he woke up he watched the "big kids" (adults) play with a ball in the pool and make lots of big splashes. He thought that was pretty funny. For supper, in addition to his yummy banana, he ate some of Mommy's cheeseburger and bun. He had his eye on my pop can the whole time, just in case I felt like sharing.

We have a busy week planned, so hopefully I can pop in later with some new pictures and fun stories!
