Jacob's 3rd birthday

Jacob celebrated a belated birthday on Sunday. He turned three on September 29th, but we couldn't get the whole family together until yesterday. Jacob had so much fun and loved all of his gifts. We know how blessed we are to have Jacob in our lives and want to make sure we share the joy he brings us with all of you.









Many thanks to everyone who has helped me the past three years in raising a precious child like Jacob. I know that I did not do this on my own and so I give thanks to the people in our life that contributed in making Jacob the sweet child he is.

Go Doggs!

We went to see Cole play last night against Monroe. Jacob had the time of his life. His daddy bought him a Georgia shirt to wear and Jacob kept calling it his Cole shirt. He really loved the band, which was also called Cole's band.
PS- WInder won !!!!

Gymboree

Jacob's little friend, Abby, had her birthday party on Saturday at Gymboree. Jacob loved the fun of climbing over everything, but when it came time to sit down and do activities together he got grumpy. Maybe we should have forced a nap? The little blonde in front of him on the steps is Ava (Aba) and Jacob adores her.

More pictures from Disney

Here's Jacob at King of Falafel. They had Egyptian style restuarants everywhere.

Disney World

We made it back safe from our trip to Orlando. Just a few minor glitches but everyone had a blast. Now that I am back in college and back at work I didn't have a lot of time to post many pictures. I'll try to do more later. Love to all.

Fun in the sun...

Nona and Poppa are back from the beach. Jacob is so happy he can barely contain himself. The weekend they returned he spent the entire day with them in the pool. It's so wonderful to see the three of them play and talk. I waited my whole life for this kind of love. It was worth the wait.

Big boy bed

Well, Jacob is no longer sleeping in his crib. I decided since I was out for the summer break it might be a good time to start sleeping in his big boy bed. Needless to say it has been wonderful. He doesn't get out of his bed unless he asks us first. So, feeling all confident and all, I also took away his pull-ups and gave him underwear......he has only had one accident in 2 weeks. I am so proud of him. I haven't had to bribe him at all. He loves every minute of being a big boy - Mommy not so much. I miss some things of him being a baby. Although he is a lot funnier now. Hope everyone is doing well. Chat again soon.
