It's been a long time....

Yep!!! That is dirt in my mouth!!!

I am all boy!!!

Okay…so I never promised to update regularly, but I had hoped to do better than 5 weeks. In my defense, it has been a very long, stressful, and blessed 5 weeks. I (Liz), with much prayer and encouragement decided to take a new job. Baby Jacob has had and is just beginning to recover from pneumonia and a rotavirus like bug….which by the way has infected Memomma, Mamaw, Ben, and myself (the bug not pneumonia). I know that it couldn’t possibly be the rotavirus because we had that two weeks after we had RSV in January. Thank God for our super fabulous pediatrician, Dr.Mary Ann Sheffield. I don’t know what we would do without her and all of our sweet family. When they said that it takes a village to raise a child…they were not kidding.
On a lighter note, Baby Jacob is changing so fast. He has recently learned to pull up and is crawling everywhere. The other day I caught him half way up the stairs and not five minutes later I was fishing out Maggie’s dog food from his little mouth. Yummy!! Needless to say our little man is very busy. He wants to talk so badly, and I just can’t wait to hear what he has to say. So far our vocabulary consists of 1. Dada 2. MaMa 3. Bye Bye 4. Poofs (which really means puffs, but in our unique family we call them poofs) We really are so so blessed!!! God is so good!!!
Have a great day.

Look...I am learning to pull up on any and everything!!!

Baby Jacob loves to be outside in his walker!!!

Bye Bye Mama...I got a long road ahead of me!!!


BEST FRIENDS

You have got to love a bath in the kitchen sink!!!

What is this thing that squirts water all over MaMa and the kitchen? Fun!!!

Our house on the one and only snowy day in Mississippi!!!

Baby Jacob's first experience in a dish pan in the snow....

Guess who did not want to stay in the dish pan??? Who could blame him for wanting to go head first into the snow!!! Maybe he will love to ski like his DaDa. I hope he is better at skiing than his Mama!!!! Bunny slopes for me!!!

Just a few more..

Wonder what they are thinking about each other???

Jacob is learning to pull up.
I can imagine it goes like this in his little head.

Step 1 Grab onto the little table that sings

Step 2: Pull up with all the strength I have in my little arms...my legs help too.

Step 3:

Woo Hoo I did it!!!

Meet George-E, Baby Jacob's best stuffed friend. He loves him very much. Ben will ask Jacob to find George-E and Jacob will stop what he is doing, find the stuffed monkey and give him sweet kisses. It is a precious sight!!!

My baby is growing up right before my very eyes!!! How is this happening??

Visiting with our sweet family that we only get to see every few years!!! We love you!!!


More family pics...aren't they precious???

Sweet baby Jacob playing outside while we were doing some sprucing up in the yard. Thank you Big Buddy and Mimi for coming and putting your green thumb touches on our yard.

Y'all are the best!!!

Dada got a brand new ride!!! A lot of people in our neighborhood drive their golf carts around the circle and chat with all the people that are out and about. Well, we don't have a golf cart so I asked Ben if we could ride our new RIDING lawn mower around that circle and visit with our neighbors. Guess what he said. ha,ha.
