Happy St. Patrick's Day!

a new toy

Mommy got me this cool workbench at the sale the other day. It makes all kind of noises and it each tool talks to me. It's fun :)

Another word - Daddy will be so proud!

Just now I was sitting on the floor. I'm wearing an old bowl game t-shirt. On the shirt is a very small football. Jacob walks up and points to it and says "football!". Then he runs over to the remote control football and says it again with glee!. Then he goes and finds then nerf football and says it yet again. I was so excited for him and he started clapping for himself and running around pointing to all the footballs he could find. Too cute!!! YAY Jacob :)

VIDEOS! (Jacob's growing vocabulary)

Before we get to Jacob's new word, I would like to share a video that follows up on one of Jacob's tshirts. You saw the shirt in a picture a few blogs ago. It reads: "WARNING: I MAKE A MESS." This is true. But, to get the whole story, please watch this video:

Jacob loves the color red and says it alot! So - I had to buy these cute little shoes he's wearing (Baby Gap at the consignment store for $5 - sweet deal)...Anyways - here he is in his red stripy shirt and red shoes playing with his red car. Oh - and he got a hair cut yesterday that we have to show off as well :)

I was looking over the blog today and realized that the last time I posted a video was OCTOBER! Shame on me. So, here's two "new" ones:





Hope you enjoy! One more and we should be all caught up. Sorry it took so long!!!

Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day everyone! Mommy got this cool balloon and I played with it ALL DAY!

Mommy made these yummy cookies and pretzels. Notice the "J" cookie... That one is all mine! Thanks Grammy for the cool gator towel and placemat... chomp chomp....

This is the card mommy and I made for daddy:

colors

Jacob is getting MUCH better at his coloring. Today we did some Valentine's Day art. We also made a special Valentine Day card. We'll show it off after Valentine's Day of course - don't want to spoil it. Thanks Grammy for the neat gator/valentine stuff! Daddy thought it was real cool too! Thanks for commenting on my last blog Grammy. I like it when you write stuff :)

Big smiles and giggles

Fun trip to Savannah

We had a blast in Rincon visiting our friends. Ms. Melissa took some more awsome pictures of me. Mommy is going to make a new Picasa album today so check back later on for more pictures of me and my friend Alex and also a few of my friend Teddy.

art by Jacob

The past few weeks Jacob has been going to day school on Wednesday mornings. He has tons of fun and every week he brings home something he made :) As every mom should, I am keeping ALL of them :D I think the fish is especially cool.

my little "monster"

Jacob is not 2 yet - but has been acting like it lately!!! He has forgotten how to listen and obey (or maybe he was just pretending all along? hmm...) :D I love cookie monster on the side but do wish I could scoot himn over so you could see more of him. oh well...this blue is my absolute favorite color too!!

Funny from yesterday. Jacob's wagon is parked inside the house. On occasion, he runs over and climbs in and plays with some of his toys... Yesterday he climbed in, closed the door, tried to buckle himself in and pointed to the door and yells "go!!" and started shaking the wagon back and forth. So - I honored his request and we went on a ride up and down our street.

This is for you Uncle Bill

We got this cool Purdue shirt a long time ago from Cousin Andrew Reese. I finally grew into it. I have quite the collection of collegewear. Florida, Lehigh, LSU, McNeese, Purdue. Guess I need shirts from KY and UT. (don't tell daddy - he's still having issues with me wearing the LSU shirt last week)

snack time

Papaw & Grandma had this bench in their shop. It fits me perfectly! This is where I have my snack and sometimes read some books :)

hi everyone!

This is how I nap lately. These are my new Mega Blocks mixed with my old ones. This new set has car ramps and 2 cars! When you press some buttons, it makes car sounds too!
tippy toes!!

The rest of the pictures..

Happy New Year everyone!!! Mommy just finished adding the rest of the pictures from our trip to Louisiana. Check my picasa album to see. Here's me in my LSU shirt. It was hard for daddy to let me wear it - but Mommy insisted that we support the home team (this year at least).

For Grammy

Apparently Grammy wanted Cousin Ben and me to make handprints for her at Turkentucky. Well, we got distracted, and I guess she forgot, because Mommy and Daddy found two handprint kits with plaster and a mold in their room after they left.
So Mommy and Daddy brought the kit home, and today we made my latest handprint. As you can see, I didn't like it AT ALL! The plaster was all squishy, and Daddy was holding my hand down in it. He wanted me to be still, and of course I didn't want to do that.

Somehow Daddy managed to get me to hold still long enough. I sure wish Grammy was here to do it, though. She is much more gentle than Daddy!

sleepy head

Yesterday we put Jacob in his crib for some playtime. We started doing this every day so he can learn to play better by himself with his toys and it gives me a chance to get a bath in private :) So, we put him in there and usually we hear all kinds of noise as he "talks" to his toys and makes a racket. It got quiet and this is what we found. All the toys were on the ground and drool on the crib :) PS - Aunt Laura we still love our Turkentucky shirt!

new things

Last night Hank came home with this horsey. He used it's sound effects in his concert. I put it with Jacob's toys and let him find it this morning. I showed him how to press the ear and it makes a trotting sound - then "neys". It didn't take long for this to become his new favorite thing.

Jacob has also been warming up to his little bike that we got eons ago. He now climbs on and rides around the house - he finally sits down on it to make it go - up till now, he's been "walking" it around the house :)

And..... I have been working with Jacob on sign language until he decides to speak some words we can understand :) He has learned "all done" when he's in his highchair. We also pray before we eat and he holds his hands together while we pray. And today - he is signing "please" for when he wants more - or wants anything. We are tired of the grunting and pointing - so this is working much better :) Yay Jacob!

the little charmer

Jacob was a little turd for most of today. He wouldn't eat his veggies and threw a royal fit. So after some screaming - he calmed down and then became real playful. He even said "ma ma ma" - but that was it - one time. Tried to get him to say it again and, of course, he looked at me with a big ole smile and proclaimed "DA DA DA!!". That's what he usually does. Just because I want him to say it - he will definitely say the opposite. Anyway - here's a cute pic of the ham-bone child of ours.

Fun at the park

Today was such a beautiful day....took Jacob to the park to explore the playground, sticks and acorns. He tried to eat a few...I also had fun with "Hank's" new camera :) I have figured out how to take black/white pics. It has so many features - stay tuned for more creative shots as I learn more features.

I had to leave the room (and laugh)!

Yesterday Jacob got into his diapers AGAIN! So I decided to try a "time out" and see if he could get a clue that this was NOT a good idea in the future. So, I took all the toys out of the crib and put him in there - gave him the "mommy face" and sternly told him to sit down and I closed the door. A few minutes later I hear a banging on the wall (his crib is right next to the wall). So I go in there and he's holding on to the rails and bouncing up and down having a grand ole' time. I immediately had to leave because I could not help but smile and laugh. I'ts our own fault as we sorta taught him that bouncing on our bed was fun if he held on to the footboard. Oh well - guess you had to see this to get how funny it was - but just thought I'd share with you. I'll get this parenting thing down one day :)

Christmas Parade

Today we went to watch daddy's band in the Christmas parade. I sure had fun eating candy :)

Here's the band..
and here's a really cool "choo choo bus"... it even sounded like a real train!
