Pictures and more!

Here are some older pictures that never made it on the blog...a little catching up.

Just too sweet not to post.

Christmas, I am not sure what he was saying but he was excited!

Cheeeese or should I say chocolateeee

All the way back to Halloween, such a sweet and cute little Elmo

Entertaining at Mom's family reunion Again with the entertainment

He LOVES to smell flowers and pick them for me, oh how I love my sweet baby!

My parents got Jacob a roller coaster, yes a roller coaster for Christmas, here he is riding it for probably the 1000th time that morning!

Ok so this really deserves its own post but click on the link to check out the YouTube video and you'll understand what Jacob is saying in his!

A dusty blog

Ok, so I am sure that we have lost all of our loyal readers (all 2 of them, if that) but our dusty blog is a sign of our busy life!!!  Life is GREAT but busy with an almost 2 year old running around!  Unfortunately all my new pictures and videos are on the other computer that is Louisiana right now and I am at home.  BUT I WILL DO a post, or several to update everyone on that sweet little boy as soon as I get back to LA.  Don't give up on us!

One of the funniest things ever

For those of you who have ever been with Jacob much you know that he is a die hard when it comes to going to sleep.  He has never been one of those kids that will just fall asleep easily, it takes rocking, bouncing, patting, singing and any other tricks up your sleeve to get him out.  Well one day not too long ago I guess I just finally wore him out; I put him in his high chair to eat lunch before his nap and this is what happened.  (Hope you can play the video because that is the funny part!!!)

It looks like he is faking but he is really asleep!

As promised...

Here are some other pictures that I promised to get up.  They are just so random cuteness from our sweet baby boy!

Being silly

Giving sweet kisses

I LOVE this picture, he isn't pouting, he was watching Sesame Street

The Ham

Whoever said they would rather play with the boxes than the toys was right.

More to follow soon with a video clip of one of the funniest things he has ever done!  Stay tuned!

A busy life!

Sorry for the delay in getting new things posted on here.  As an anonymous commenter pointed out, APRIL, this blog does have spider webs on it and they aren't Halloween decorations ;-)  We are leading quite the busy life right now.  The post-Ike update is, thank God we are all still alive.  However there was some damage suffered by all of us just as everyone else in our area.  For anyone reading that doesn't know, my 86 year old Grandfather lives in front of us here in Porter, he took the hardest hit by far, and he owns/owned a house on Port Bolivar.  The torrential rain that came just as the winds died down flooded his home here with ankle deep water or deeper in every room of his house.  So he is living with us part time and my parents part time while my Dad is fixing his house.  When I said earlier that he owns/owned a home on Port Bolivar, where the house was is still there but there is no house left, just a concrete slab and a few pilings.  We were all saddened by this because the house was a place where a lot of good memories were made.  He and my Grandma built it in 1970 so all during my childhood we would go down there for good times at "the bay" as we all called it.  It was a fun place to be and I was lucky because Jarrad and I were the last ones down there on our anniversary Labor Day weekend.  We will all miss it. 

On to happier things now.  Our little boy is getting so big!  He is running around playing and learning so much!  Seriously, this kid blows me away at all that he can do and SAY at 15 months.  I have lots of pictures that pick up from his birthday until now that I will try to get up in the next few days or week.  Hope you all enjoy.  

We took a trip to San Antonio to see Cody and Amber for July 4th weekend we had lots of fun and look forward to going back.  These are just a few pictures from our trip.

Jacob's first trip to the Riverwalk

Playing

Exploring

And resting

More to come soon!

A few more pictures from the BIG day!

Making a cake is hard work, but somebody has to do it!

I love my "Old" Papa

That's my boy, go for the chocolate!

Here Memaw, I love you enough to share

Wait Cody!  I didn't say you could have it ALL!

The BIG Birthday!

So here we are just a "couple" of weeks after Jacob's First Birthday and I am just now finding the time to put up the pictures.  

This little boy is very busy and is talking up a storm!  We have tried to make a list of all the words that he can say and not only say but most of the time uses correctly!  The list is up to 50+ and I know that is not all.  Every day he is learning another new word and starts to use it.  I should post the "word of the day" that would be funny.  Today's word was "eatin", this morning we came out of the bedroom and Bunny was eating, so I said "look Jacob, Bunny is eating his breakfast" and so "eatin" became the word for today.

Alright, to the long awaited birthday pictures!  We had such a great time and a big turn out, it was a lot of fun!

So smart, he was telling everyone that he is "One"

Elmo is cool!

My best two boys!

Mmmmmm cake

He is so sweet to share

A gift that will have to wait a few years ;)  (notice the label)

He had a hand in making the cake too!

These take a while to upload so that is all for now, but I promise I will put up more soon.  Sorry for the delay, I will get better!

Ok, ok...

Alright, I have been harassed about the non-posting lately so check back tonight or tomorrow for some new goodies! I will do a birthday post and updating on what our little boy is up to these days. He is BUSY BUSY! Check back soon.

3 New posts

Ok there are three new post that follow this...and I still have more to do. I will have the birthday post up soon, I promise and in the meantime I hope you enjoy these below.

Summer time fun

Summer is here and we are enjoying it to the fullest! Jacob is doing all kinds of new things. It seems like every day he is learning something new! He is talking like crazy, he says "Ma ma" "Da da" extremely clear and there is a lot more that he is working on...Nonna, Papa, Memaw, Nana, hi, thank you, bye, please, and the list goes on and on, he is such a smart boy!

This is Jacob with my Mom getting ready to take his first jet ski ride

Swinging on the playground

Just hanging out together

It looks like he was cold but he LOVED playing in this wash tub! He played in it for hours!

First trip to the BEACH!

We made our first trip to the beach and had lots of fun! We played in the water and the sand and even built a sand castle!

Look how talented our little boy is!

The video I promised

Here is the video I promised last time of him walking. He is even better at it now and he can run! He is walking and talking in the second clip. Hope you enjoy.

He's Walking!!! (This one has the date I uploaded the first video but it's a new post! 6-4-08)

Jacob has got this walking thing down. He started walking behind his trucks a few weeks ago and now he is up and going on his own! He really started letting go and getting brave about 2 weeks ago and it is amazing how far he has come in these two weeks! Now instead of taking a few steps and falling down he can walk across the room. He'll definitely have it down so he can show off for his birthday, which is coming up very soon. Wow, this year has really flown by, where does the time go?

Ok so on to the good stuff, the first video clip is when he was just learning to push his truck.




This one is the first day he started to let go and try it on his own!

What a big boy!

I'll have to get a new video of him walking now, so you can really see his progress. I'll have it up in a day or two along with some new pictures of summer fun!!! Check back soon!

Fun in the bathroom

A couple of weeks ago Jacob had himself a good ol' time in the bathroom...

He seems to be thinking "maybe I shouldn't have done this?"

Fleeing the scene of the crime

Getting rid of the evidence

Now every time he sees the toilet paper he gets excited thinking he'll be able to unroll it all again! He has a thing with pulling Kleenex out of the box or wipes out of the container, I guess he just likes making a mess! What kid doesn't though?

We've been slacking, I know

Some funny pictures to enjoy...

A play date with Ryan

What a ham!!!!

Just being cute
