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.

Alabama weekend

We spent Memorial Day weekend in Alabama celebrating my cousin, Caitlin's graduation from high school. We had so much fun. We always do, but it was extra special this time. There was a dominoes tournament, a basketball game, and lots of food. I wish we lived closer. Jacob was given a hand-me-down big wheel from his cousin and he did not move from it the entire weekend. We even brought it home.

Such a handsome little boy.

Jacob's new swing set

We started Jacob's new swing set today. He is so excited. I think I am more excited though. He worked so hard helping his Poppa and Daddy. He knows how to work a drill better than them. I've never seen such a hard working two year old. I'll post the end results of our swing set when we are finished.
