little ladies man

We have this "word" book for Jacob. Every day we go through it and learn some new words. So yesterday Jacob was looking at the book and the first few pages are of boys and girls doing things and pointing to different body parts. Jacob looks at each one and points to it and says "girl"... girl girl girl.......I tried to explain that some were boys....it was like I spoke Greek because they were ALL girls in his mind. :) Oh - and out of the blue I guess we are starting to learn the alphabet. Hank and I always have T-shirts with words on them. Sometime ago, Jacob learned what "o" looks like. Last night Hank taught him "s". He giggled himself silly saying "esssss" "esssss". I guess it's cuz snake and slinky start with s and he loves saying those...He's just saying words like cray now. Every day a few more. Yay Jacob!....that's "J" "A" "C" "O" "B"

Back home

I'm back home. Didn't do too much this week. I colored alot. I'm on my 2nd "BIG" coloring book and my 2nd box of crayons. I used the others all up at my Papaw and Grandma's. I'm saying lots of new words lately. Daddy taught me to say "goooooo Gators!". Now daddy makes me say it all the time. I also say and recognize: clock, yellow (yeyow) chair, shoes, elbow, cup, knee... the list goes on.

We go for his 2 year check up on the 9th. Oh - and he's signed up for day camp for June and July - it's a Tuesday/Wednesday morning program. He's gonna have such fun :)

2 weeks until the big day. 2 years old!! I just can't belive it. We're thinking of making a "car" cake as he loves cars. Found some cool designs on the web, so we're gonna take a stab at it. I am bringing cup cakes to his day school the day before his birthday too so he can have a little party with kids his age.

Until next time....

I'll be back home tomorrow!

Jacob has been at his Papaw & Grandma's for a week. Here's some of the highlights I've learned about...

1. Now that he can say "Gators" when he sees the FL Gator logo....his bedroom at their house is all FL Gator's so he goes and gets the pillow off the bed and brings it into the living room where one of their LSU friend's is visiting. Jacob shows him the pillow and says "Gators!". Hank is so proud.

2. Mom and dad have this little electric truck (remembee the Christmas pics?)...He can now ride it by himself and has been doing it every day - having a blast.

3. He picked up rocks from the drive and tossed them in the crawfish ponds to watch the rocks splash every day.

4. They took him to a friend's house for Sunday lunch and the friend gave him a tiny tractor to play with. Mom said he tried to "ride" it... he's also been riding Papaw's tractor some too.

5. Mom said he finds a picture of Hank and me and points and says "mama and dada".. so guess he misses us :)

I know all this wou.d be better with pictures - I hope to get them from mom and dad's camera and post them. Can't wait to pick him up tomorrow. I missed him terribly!!!!

Pictures from our trip to see Aunt Phyllis

Here are the pictures from our recent trip to Pennsylvania to visit Daddy's Great Aunt Phyllis Carter. I had a great time. We spent a lot of time in the car going and coming, but in-between we did a lot of cool things. We went to a Cabela's store near Allentown and also visited Aunt Susie and Uncle Joe. I did great on this major road trip - at least, that's what Mommy and Daddy say.
