Today is his 7th doubling day. He’s very alert these days: moved on from talking to making raspberries and sticking his tongue out; reaching for things, holding them, dropping them; not sleeping through the night; flirting with the girls in Gymboree.

Dorota and I were in California last week (I’ll be posting pictures this weekend). Jakob minded the apartment while we were gone (under the watchful eye of his babcia). Last Thursday was his four month birthday (click the picture for more from the past month - it’s the lightest month of photos yet since we were away).

We’re all set for the Super Bowl this weekend. Go Pats!

Welcome to 2008. True to form, it’s taken me a bit to get the most recent batch of pictures together.

Here I am 36 years ago (click the picture for the full sized photo)…

And here is Jakob in the same outfit (thank you, Mom, for saving that). He’s a couple months older than I was and starting to show Dorota’s genes a bit more than when he was first born (click the picture for more holiday pictures)…

May you all have a year filled with joy.
