Wonderful Weekend

Jared came home Thursday feeling sick and I thought we weren't going to be able to spend much time with him. Well...he ended up feeling a lot better (after 12 1/2 hours of sleep) and we had a wonderful few days just doing family stuff. Thought we'd share some of it with you....

Jacob watching Pops shave while playing in the Jumper (don't know what we'll do when we can't use this thing anymore). Jacob LOVES to watch his daddy get ready for work. I think it's so fun that they spend this time together.

Notice Samson doesn't even care that Jacob is jumping ON him (what a great dog!!)

Jacob and I spent all of Friday just playing and having fun together. I love days like these...

J found a paper towel roll and thought it was a super cool toy
Samson did too
These two are so funny together. They really do interact like siblings.

J Man playing on the stairs - he's not climbing them yet though!

Looking out the window -adorable

Jacob is obsessed with the telephone. He loves to listen to people on it. Lately he has begun recognizing voices over the phone. If his daddy, an aunt, or one of his grandparents calls I hold the phone up to his ear. Jacob will listen for a second and then will start smiling and laughing. He then turns toward the phone like he is trying to look for them.....so so sweet.

Caught in the act of playing with something that's not really a toy
"What did I do?"

Playing with his letters -this toy has revolutionized my life. I can now cook and know he is entertained

Oh, what a sweet sharer

Pulling his toys out

Reading a book

Ok, so I helped a friend move a few weeks ago and brought this box home. We pull it out occassionally. Jake thinks it is just the funnest thing to play in. Who says you need the expensive stuff. We thought he might be scared of it....nope. Not our child.

This is how I woke up on Saturday morning. Jacob standing over me, smiling. Not a bad way to start the day. He loves to pull up on our headboard and then look back at you with this "did you see what I just did" expression. Priceless.

We spent all of Saturday at Grammy and Papa Doc's house. They have an old highchair that Jared and I are refinishing....pics of the finished product to come. We didn't work all day though.....

Mama I'm hungry...please feed me

Playing with the spinny top

Pulling up

Hello. Is anyone there?

(isn't this a fun toy?)

All the great-grandparents came to visit little man. This was the best pic we got.

Taken after Jacob spied mommy from around the corner

We're having a bit of separation anxiety at the moment

I'm not gonna lie though - the fact that this sweet little boy wants his mama this much makes me one happy girl

Swinging

Taking a break

Playing on Grammy's exercise ball

Wheeeeee

Ok. So we gave the boy some ice cream as a treat. He decided he wanted to eat it lying down. So here is Jacob chillin in his Pop's lap while his Grammy feeds him vanilla bean. Life doesn't get much better!!!!!

Snuggling with Pop Pop

Diaper helmet

Jacob found a roll of toilet paper that he thought was interesting

Sunday we went to lunch with Coach. When we left my dad put Jake in his carseat and told him good bye. As soon as that door shut Jacob started screaming. This boy LOVES his Coach. All through lunch Jacob kept reaching out to him and would not go to either Jared or myself. I think it's so sweet he loves his grandad so much.

Last night we went to our first Community Group through West End. There were 4 other couples there and a few others. The group has about 8 or 9 kids in it. We ate tacos and just spent some time getting to know each other. Jared and I are so excited to finally be plugged in to a group. Everyone was really nice and we are looking forward to sharing life with this new group of people.

Jacob even had a fun time playing with all the other kids. There is one that is about his age, a newborn and then several older kids. I think it will be so good for him to have this interaction with other kiddos.

The end to a long weekend

J's hair has had enough

Wishing everyone a Happy Monday!!!!
