Jacob-2 Months

Here is our little sweetie at 2 months already!

My Boys

It just so happened (both outfits were gifts from two separate people), that Matthew and Jacob had matching "jackets".  I could smell a photo-op a mile away.  My boys are just too cute all matchy.  It was funny though, one would be crying, then the other...  Did manage to get a couple good ones.

Train Birthday Invite

I have been busy the past week or so planning Matthew's third birthday party.  Hard to believe he will be 3 in less than a month!  I decided to go with a "train" theme this year.  He is all about trains right now.  Here is the invite for the party.  Turned out cute! (Blocked out personal info to post...)

First Smiles

Here are some of Jacob's first smiles and cute faces I was able to catch on camera.  He is finally starting to really smile more now that he is 8 weeks old. :)

Indoor Family Picnic

Falling behind in blogging again.  This was the fun indoor family picnic we had a couple weeks ago!  I thought it would be fun to have a whole bunch of appetizer foods such as cheese and crackers, fruits, etc., and eat it on the floor in our family room for dinner.  It turned out great!  On the platter I had hummus with pita chips and organic baby yellow carrots, grapes, sliced pear, and cheese and crackers.  I also made and extremely yummy dip of baked peppercorn flavored boursin cheese in marinara (I used Classico Fire Roasted Tomato and Garlic), and served it with sliced french bread.  It was all so good!

Here you can see the baked boursin cheese dip....yum!

Chris and Matthew are ready to partake of the goodies...

Christmas Day 2010

On Christmas day with celebrated with the Doherty clan at Chris's parents house.  It was a wild and crazy, but fun time.

Christmas Eve 2010

Finally getting around to posting Christmas pics!  A newborn sure keeps you busy!  We had a nice Christmas Eve at home with my parents.  Matthew had a ball opening up several gifts.  I did however feel a little under the weather, and did end up with the flu the day after Christmas.  Over all it was a great holiday, our first with both boys!

The tree with all the gifts, ready to be opened!

J's First Bath

On Christmas Eve, Jacob got his first real bath in the sink tub.  He did pretty good, and didn't complain much at all!  Hasn't been that way with recent baths, but it was a good start...
