Jacob Thomas Howman

We did have one more very exciting thing happen this month...the birth of Jacob Thomas Howman, our new nephew!! Jacob was born on February 12th at 8:44am weighing 7 lbs 13 oz and was 19 in long. Everyone is doing well and happy to be home. Maddie has been a great big sister and is making sure Jacob gets plenty of hugs and kisses...as long as he doesn't hog too much of her mommy at one time.
Here are some pics from their time in the hospital. Congrats guys!


Welcome Jacob!! We're so excited you're here!

January/February Update

Well, time has gotten away from me and we're half way through February. Bear with me - this might be a longer post than normal. A lot has happened in 2009 so far. Autumn seems to be doing something new every day. She's crawling all over the house and finding new things to pull up on or grab all the time. She also has a few more teeth including one of her top center ones. The other one is being stubborn but should be in soon. She said her first word a month ago, which was "ducky". Since then she's also learned "uh oh" and "dada". She has been feeding herself finger foods for over a month as well and she's getting a little better using a spoon. If she could just learn to change her own diapers and dress herself she would be all set!

Happy Valentine's day!





On Feb 8 we had Autumn's baptism. It was a beautiful day for February and it was so nice to have our families here for it, including many of Autumn's great-grandparents. She did a great job during the ceremony, especially since she was two hours past her nap time and being held by a stranger.
