'Staycation' 2009

A few weeks ago Miss Kim was on vacation so we decided to take a 'staycation' in St. Louis and experience some of the things we don't get to do often. Mom stayed home all week and dad was able to join us on Thursday and Friday.

Jacob is feeling 100% better now and as you can tell from the pictures - he was better during our 'staycation' and is having a lot of fun.

Below is Jacob loving his food now! He is having fruits and veggies and loves almost anything but hates green beans... surprise, surprise! It must run in the family! We took Jacob to the St. Charles Riverfront, ate lunch and walked on by the river. Below are pictures from our day.



Our big adventure for Tuesday was going to Columbia MO and eating at Booche's. We went with Great Grandpa and Grandma Bayerl and Uncle Ryan. We had a GREAT time!!

On Thursday we went downtown to the City Gardens. It was nice that some of the Arches from the All Star Game were still up (and for sale if anyone is interested). Pictures below...

Only family shot.. thanks to the random lady who offered!

Jacob enjoyed dipping his feet in the water - not that you can tell from his face!

He loved playing with dad and the fountains!

After the City Gardens we wanted to play in the water. Since Jacob has been sick he hadn't had a chance to go to the pool yet... so pool bound we were. This was his first time and he really liked it.. although I couldn't put him down and the water was FREEZING!
During all our fun time we had to take time out to go see the GI specialist for Jacob's reflux. He was put on medicine that we are trying for 60 days and then we have to go back to the dr. If it doesn't work they are going to try a medicine that is not FDA approved in little ones... obviously we are avoiding that step if at all possible. He is doing better at not holding is breathe while it happens so we are making some progress.

We also spent some time with Grandma and Grandpa Beffa. Below is a picture of Jacob playing with Grandpa!
