Jakob is 5 months old today. I look back at photos and video of the squishy little dark-haired infant I brought home from the hospital, and can’t even see the resemblance to the bright, alert, active, pale and fair-haired, solid little boy I get the pleasure of seeing every day.

I know this post should have photos, but my camera is downstairs and truthfully I’m too tired and lazy to go get it. I am planning on getting up early to go meet up with a stroller walking group in the morning, which means I need to go to bed earlier than my usual 1:00am or later.

So I will be going to bed as soon as I search the internet for a Cliff-Notes version of Beowulf so I can summarize the story for Yannick (who looked intrigued by the upcoming movie so I made the mistake of telling him I’d read it in university, which I did…but that was almost 8 years ago).

Check back here tomorrow for my usual monthly summary, along with some cute photos and the latest on the Superman Costume.

p.s. Happy Anniversary Julie & Rich!
