Jacob Carter Laiacona

Jacob Carter Laiacona was born April 15, 2010 at 4:05 pm. He weighed 6 lb, 8 oz and was 18.5 in long. These are the first photos I have of him on my camera because I had misplaced it until today, 3 weeks later. He already looks so different than when he was born. He has gained nearly a pound, becoming quite a meaty fellow.

Jacob's First Hike

Here we are on Mother's Day hiking on Charlottesville's best kept secret trail: The Secluded Farm Trail at Monticello's Kemper Park. Jacob is 3 weeks old and both boys and their parents thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful day.

Hiking to the end

Here we are enjoying a family hike at Ragged Mountain Resevoir 3 weeks before my due date. We walked 3 miles that day. This pregnancy was very different from my first. I never could have managed that with Ezra. Although I was sore afterwards, it was a beautiful hike.

Ezra turns 2

Yep, Ezra turned 2 and his pregnant mom was so out of it that this is the one photo I managed to get! I'll post more if I can round some up from other guests!

More Disney

View from Bay Lake Towers

This is the view from our hotel room at Bay Lake Towers. This is by far one of my favorite resorts, and I am sure we will stay there again. It is so close to Magic Kingdom and very easy access to Epcot via monorail. The rooms are well laid out, and who can beat the view!

Disney!

Since I was unable to ski this year (again!), we decided not to go to our favorite ski destination, Bear Lodge, as we do most years in February. So where do you go when you can't ski? Disney, of course!! We went with Ana and my parents and had a wonderful time. The day we were scheduled to return home there was a massive blizzard in VA/DC area, so we were forced to stay an extra couple of days. When the snow still hadn't been cleared our flight was canceled and we ended up flying into Raleigh, NC, renting a van, and driving the rest of the way home.

As you can see from these photos Ezra really enjoyed meeting the characters. He especially liked Goofy and Pluto, since they are woof-woofs. Oh, and the monorail of course!! We had a wonderful view from the window of our hotel room, and Ezra just loved watching the trains come and go.
