Wiggle Worm

Jacob has now learned how to wiggle him self around the pack-n-play. Almost every time I go to get him in the pack-n-play, I find him in the opposite direction of what I layed him in. Thankfully once we get back to the states he will have his crib and will have a little more room to wiggle around.



Here is Jacob doing some tummy time today.

Jacob is getting so big!!

Growing Jacob

Jacob is happy as can be right now in his bouncer playing with his new toy. Yesterday Jacob & I went shopping. I realized that I didn't have much summer clothes for him. I have some onesies, but some of them are long sleeved and it is getting way too hot for them. Plus he is becoming a very hot natured little guy. Or at least we hope...after doing some googling I found that his over heating could also be a cause of a heart problem. Once we get back to Atlanta, I will get a second opinion. The heart scan we did here at the local Italian hospital went well, but it's better to get a second opinion and one from a doctor that we can actually speak to. He doesn't have a tempature, but he gets pretty hot easily. So we got him some really cute summer onesies that are a little bit longer than the regular ones and look like shorts. They are so cute.

We also got him a new toy that he picked out! Well at least he tried! I showed him two toys and he kept staying at this one pacticular toy, so that is the one we got. It attaches to his stroller or crib or he can play with it in his lap, like he is doing right now. He really likes it. He's actually talking to it right now and getting all excited. We noticed that he is starting to really like his toys now. He touches and grabs at them now rather than just starring at them. He's a growing little man.



Here are some pictures from yesterday....

The good...the bad

The good news is that we are finally done with the pack-out! We stayed up till 3am in the morning Wednesday night getting everything done. I know we did way more than what we needed to do. I made sure to pack all of my expensive breakables, most of my clothes, and most of our electronics. I have heard so many bad stories about the movers here. The movers actually arrived on time and had almost everything packed up by noon. I was a little worried about Jacob and keeping him happy during all this. He did a great job! He was a very happy baby. He did start to get a little fussy in the evening only because he didn't get decent nap during the day. So we were all pretty sleepy after this long day.

The bad is that we found out on Wednesday afternoon that there is a change in our travel plans. Jacob and I are now leaving on the 29th. I had so many things planned, but of course it's the Navy and nothing goes as planned. Aaron is still going back on the 21st. So Jacob and I will be here alone for a few days. I'm a little worried how everything will go since I have Jacob. I somehow have to get both dogs to the vet with Jacob by myself. I can barely walk both dogs with Jacob, let alone get them in the car and into the vet's office. Hopefully there won't be any other dogs in there b/c I won't be able to hold Smokey back.

We are now living like college kids (or maybe even worse) until next Wednesday. We have a lovely air mattress, tv, and some lawn chairs. We are using Smokey's extra large case as furniture too. We turned half of it into a tv stand and the other half a coffee table/dining table. Sounds pretty nice, huh? ha! We get loaner furniture next week, so until then we are camping out in our house.

This is our lovely tv stand


This is our coffee table/dining table/baby changing table/night stand all in one!



Guess what I'm typing on?? My new laptop! :) Aaron got this for me for Mother's Day and my birthday. My old laptop finally died. The new one is pretty sweet. I'm still finding new things on it. Aaron did a great job! It came with a webcam so we will be setting up Skype to talk to everyone. If you have it and want to chat, let us know!

Here is Jacob on moving day.
