So much going on...

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I have been extremely busy during the last few weeks. Thanksgiving was great! My mom and dad came down from Georgia, and Aaron's Aunt Shelly and Uncle Kevin came down from Ohio. My mom was amazing and cooked the entire dinner. We had soo much good food!

The following night, mom and dad took on a big task....watching Jacob for an entire day and night! They let me go and spend the night with Kevin & Shelly in New Orleans. This was my first time away from Jacob for more than a few hours. It was very odd not having to worry about him, but it was also such a great feeling! I wasn't like most moms and worry or totally miss him so much that I left. Heck no! This was the first real big break since Aaron had left, so I took full advantage of it! I knew he was with the best, and I left mom pretty good detailed instructions :) Thankfully Jacob is on a very good schedule, so you can pretty much predict what he is going to do. New Orleans was great! I loved the old buildings and the history. The night life wasn't really my thing. I guess the weekend we went wasn't the best either since there was a big football game that weekend so the crowds were huge! But other than that, it was a blast! Can't wait to do it again, hopefully with Aaron next time!

Jacob is a monster! A huge teething monster! This weekend another top tooth came through. Which brings the total to 7 teeth (4 top front, and 3 front bottom), and two more on the way. He is chewing on everything. His poor bed is chewed up all over. He stands up and chews on the top railing. I guess I will be redoing the bed in the future. He is now wearing 18 month clothing, and I'm starting to think he might be going into 24 month clothing before I know it. The kid won't stop growing! Over the weekend he stopped eating any type of pureed foods, which I thought was due to the teething. But even tonight he wouldn't eat any, but totally chowed down on whole cut up green beans, pears, and toast. I just introduced toast to him this weekend, and that has now become his new favorite thing. It's hilarous watching him eat it. He keeps putting more and more in his mouth and acts like someone is going to take it away from him so he must eat very fast.

Jacob is also a total flirt! He smiles at every girl that walks by when we are out! There isn't a store that we go in that someone doesn't stop and talk to us. I guess he has that charm with the ladies. It must be his big blue eyes!

Here are some new pics..














Jacob at his first offical "playdate" at Kangarooz. He was the youngest kid there..but he still had fun watching the other kids.
