Only a few days left!

Jacob & I have been home alone without Aaron for 5 days now. It's been pretty loney without daddy around. I'm sure the dogs are totally confused about everything. First we pack up all of our stuff and then their dad leaves them here with a crying baby. But they are adapting well. They have actually learned to walk with the stroller. I tie Georgia's leash to one side of the stroller and hold on to Smokey. I'm a little scared to tie Smokey to the stroller...if he decides to take off for some reason then I'm sure he will be dragging the stroller with him. Not a good idea!

Jacob is doing great, as usual. He was extremely fussy and cranky the day Aaron left. It's as if he knew something was up. But now he is doing really great. He's starting to poop on a regular basis now. :) No more once a week or once every 10+ days. He seems a lot happier, but still cries and strains to get the poop out. I know...way too much information. His head control has improved so much. He is starting to love to sit up on watch everything. This weekend I put him on the couch and he seemed to really enjoy sitting up by himself.

This is our last week in Sicily. I'm excited to leave, but so sad at the same time. I'm going to miss site seeing and all of our friends. I will not miss the crazy neighbors I've had, the gossipy women at this base, or the dumb Italian drivers. The next few days are going to fly by. I have appointments every day. Hopefully Jacob will be an angel this week and everything will go smoothly! Fingers are crossed!

Here are some new pics from this past week...hope you enjoy!




After seeing this pic, I thought he looks like a leprecon. His hair really is not orange! It's more an auburn color.



Jacob sitting up...this is not our couch..this is our loaner furniture we got. It's pretty ugly!



Everything goes in his mouth now
