Last couple Months

WOW where does the time go? January 16th was sure a long time ago and Jacoby has gotten so much bigger and doing so many new things.  Here are a couple pictures of the last couple months!

March and April Mike was doing his clinicals in St. Louis so we (Me, Jacoby, My Mom and Mother-in-law) all took a trip to visit him, and to go to St. Charles.

       Trying Chocolate Ice Cream for the first time! Thanks Dad

   Jacoby also got to eat a Pickle for the first time :)  I think he liked the Pickle more, but he is just like his                                                 dad nothing beats chocolate ice cream and pickles

 Grammy also taught Jacoby a new game, sit in the diaper box and pull yourself up. 

 He loved being in the Box

 And of course over the last couple of months Jacoby has cut his two bottom teeth.  These foam shapes are his favorite teething toy.

 Just chillin' at home with Grammy and Grandma Sandy

 April 7th we went to the Kansas City Temple Open House (Last Sunday May 6th it was dedicated and we were able to go to that as well.  It is sure nice to have a temple SO close again.

 Easter Sunday April 8th.  Hunting for Easter Eggs!

 Jacoby and Mom (all smiles now but the day after I went to the ER and had to have surgery to remove a kidney stone.  Not so much fun, and part of the reason I didn't blog earlier.)

 Jacoby and Dad (SO HANDSOME)

 ah... I could just eat him up, he knows what the camera is!

 Jacoby and one of his Easter Baskets

 He also got a hooded towel for the Pool 

 The end of April Grammy came to visit and I was showing her my new hats, this one is for the pool

 Just being ME, getting so big 

 Awesome find at the garage sales "like new" or so the tag said.  I still talked them down a dollar on it! We love our garage sales and enjoy Grammy going with us!

 Showing Grammy how I wave

 Another Hat!

 Giving Mom Kisses!!!!

 Jacoby and Grammy

 Mike and Jacoby enjoying our nice weather

 Look what I can do, I stand up to EVERYTHING now, even if it falls over!

 Another Garage Sale find and Jacoby LOVES swinging 

 And Last Night May 7th we went to the Royals vs Red Sox game.  The Red Sox killed it getting 4 home runs YEA!  It was an awesome game!

 Jacoby was an angel the whole time and kept stealing everyone's attention away from the game so they would look at him (he played peek-a-boo with everyone and anyone that was willing.) He didn't cry at all and even took a nap during the game.  We are paying the price a little today with crankiness but he was out until 11pm when his bedtime is normally 7:30 yikes!

 Today just chillin' at home with Mom enjoying some fresh air

 And whether you believe it or not Jacoby is now 9 Months old!

All is well here, just livin' life and loving having Mike home for the month of May!

Jacoby's First Christmas

Jacoby's first Christmas... It was overall pretty good besides the fact of getting stuck at the Denver airport for longer then anyone should ever have to be at an airport with a 5 month old! But we will never forget his first Christmas and our trip to Reno!

Here is a Picture of Jacoby opening his gift from the Brown Family.
(this is at our home before we left for Reno)

A new book what more could you want at this age???

And here it is the dreaded Denver Airport this is after probably 7 hours we had to get some dinner and so we put Jacoby in a highchair at the bar and grill and padded it with coats and blankets so he would fit! He did really well, I think he was so glad we weren't holding him anymore he felt free.

We FINALLY made it after I believe 12 hours in the airport and an hour on the runway waiting to be de-iced!

Another early present- the best jumper ever, he loves and I mean LOVES to stand so this is great!

Getting SO Big!!!

WOW I just can't believe in just a couple months how big Jacoby has gotten and how much he has grown. He is such a blessing in our lives and it is so neat to stay home with him each day and watch as he develops new skills.
Yesterday he just looked a Mike's sweatshirt like he was reading what it said he focuses on things so well now, and this morning he has just been talking. It's so cute when he responds back and it isn't just screaming:)
Anyway enjoy the latest pictures of him. He is a cutie!!!
