Jacob 10 & 11 Months

These two months flew by in a flash! Probably because its the summer and everything happens so fast during the summer, it seems. Jacob is now crawling so quickly! He is also getting better at walking while holding our hands...shouldn't be too long til he's on his own. He is also quite dramatic when it comes to telling him 'no'...he throws his head down on the ground an pouts. Its pretty comical. He got his first haircut, courtesy of daddy, and did a very good job of sitting kinda still. He got to play in the sprinkler with his brothers afterward! We did alot of swimming this summer too. Jacob is very close to calling me by name...he says 'mama' when he's upset but hasn't yet called me by it. Can't wait for that! He's also so in love with his brothers...can't wait to see them when he gets up in the morning or from his nap. Still taking 2 naps a day, but it seems that he might be an early riser like Isaiah...Josh and I are hoping he'll grow out of that!! We are still nursing 3 times a day, but should go to 2 a day late in July. And he loves food...probably could live on fruit alone if I let him! His favorites are blueberries, strawberries, and watermelon. He's still our happy little biscuit (that's his nick name) and makes my heart smile all the time! So blessed by this guy! 

Lifegroup Pool Party

Our Lifegroup social this weekend was at a friend's backyard pool (thanks Cindi!!). We had so much fun...even with the rain! I think the kids liked swimming in the rain better than anything, and the diving board was a hit with the big boys, of course. Good times!

June In A Snap

Ok, I called this post 'June in a snap' because it just flew by us! I am behind on my blogging so I am posting all of June in one. We did lots this month: our Sea World adventures began, lots of trips to the park, ice cream outings, Nicaragua fundraising, swimming, and the Children's Museum. Its been a great start to the summer! Oh, and by the way, my camera started working again and all my pictures were saved! Woohoo!

So Bummed...

Well, it happened. I dropped my camera in the pool. Yep, I'm dumb. I kept taking pictures of the boys swimming and having fun at Sea World, all the while thinking, "I really should stop taking pictures around the water." So last Friday it slipped out of my hand and into the pool. We quickly dried everything and put it, the battery, and the card in a bag of rice, hoping it would revive itself. Well, I checked it yesterday and got nothing. So I'm pretty sure I lost all the pics from about half the month...I guess it could be worse. Glad I kept the old camera so at least I can still take pictures. Don't laugh at me when you see how huge it is...

Jacob 9 Months

I know I say this every month, but its so true...its hard to believe Jacob is already 9 mths old! And what milestones he is finally achieving! Starting with stats; he weighs 20 lbs (about the 60th%) and is 27 inches long. He is picking up finger foods now and can hold his own cup. He is crawling too! He has been working really hard at it and around the end of the month he finally got it down! He's such a cute crawler. He absolutely loves bath time and likes to "brush" his teeth. He also has a fascination with the dog..loves to pull her hair. Thankfully, she is a very sweet dog and doesn't mind too much. He's even understanding words now too: dog, mama, dada, brothers, night night. He will look for the person when you say the name. We are down to 4 feedings a day and he is eating lunch and dinner with us. Still working on the breakfast. Will probably add that one in when we drop another feeding..who knows. It changes all the time, doesn't it?
