Jacob: Months 4 & 5

These past couple of months Jacob has really started showing his personality. He's playing with toys, started bouncing in his jumper (which is great for me!), and loves to be tickled, particularly when his belly is exposed.
He has also become quite the butterball! We tried introducing foods to him, like cereal and some baby foods, but he really could not be less interested! I'm kinda bummed, but hopefully he will take to them soon.
His brothers absolutely adore him! Sometimes Isaiah gets a little too close, like giving him a hug by practically laying on top of him, so I keep a close eye. He's still not rolling around so at least I don't have to worry about him getting stepped on!

First time in the bumbo.

First time in the jumper..

Trying cereal..I wish I got a picture of his face once it was in his mouth!

Jacob at Christmas.

LOVE this smile!

Its Christmas Morning!

So this year we scaled back a bit on the gifts for the boys. We just feel they might get a sense of entitlement the more and more "things" they get. However, they were still in hog heaven!

Grammy and Papa came over again this year, even though Christmas fell on Sunday. It was wonderful having them here. It doesn't feel like Christmas morning unless they are here!

Good Morning Bright Eyes!

Another Christmas morning come and gone! All that planning...out the window in ten minutes flat!

Breakfast with Santa

We had lots of fun at breakfast this morning! Saw our friends, santa, and sang some songs. We did a really cute handprint craft too! Yay for Christmas!

Casting Crowns

When I heard Casting Crowns was coming back to SA, I knew I was going to find a way to go! I love these guys!! So we invited Ryan and Jenny and my in-laws to come with us...and had a GREAT time! After intermission, we went and sat by some of our best friends Chris and Ashley and the Jacksons (they had seats open next to them). What an awesome experience! So many people in one room praising and worshiping our wonderful God..He is Good!
