Our Little Pumpkin!

Well, it has been a month! I can't believe that Jacob is almost 6 months old. Where did half a year go? Well, I didn't sleep through it, that's for sure! Anyway-our little guy had grown in ways that just amaze me. I am so blessed to have the opportunity to be his Mom!

Well, I guess the first update is that we made it through our first upper respiratory infection and stomach bug. That stomach bug about put me out of commission - 22 poopies in 5 days. No wonder why I'm just now getting around to updating this blog! But....like I said, we survived and Jacob was such a trooper.

Just before Jacob got sick, we participated in our Church's baby dedication ceremony along with 14 other familes. Of course, wouldn't you know that his schedule put him eating right in the middle of the ceremony. Needless to say he did great and we were able to make it through the whole dedication without even a peep. We had a great time celebrating this with our friends and family who were able to come. For those of you who could not make it, don't worry! We will be getting a DVD of the ceremony which we will be making copies and sharing with all of you.

Ohhhh.....I really wish we had a picture of this, but Jacob cut his first two teeth! It was at the same time as the stomach bug so they were a little hard to enjoy. But we look forward to his giggles so we can get a glimpse of those teeth. He smiles like his Daddy - MOUTH SHUT! So no peeking at those teeth.

And Jacob is getting to be so big, drinking out of a training cup! We still have a lot of work to do, he would much rather me hold the cup up to his mouth for him - which is not my plan at all. So I will keep you up to date on that. We have time (I just have to remind myself daily of this!)

And....Jacob enjoyed his first festive outing of The Holiday Season - The Pumpkin Farm in Celina! We were fortunate enough to tag along with the Winger's to enjoy the farm together with our boys. Jonathan and I had such a great time and we hope Jacob did as well. He seemed to but I don't think Ethan had as much fun as we did. Maybe next year??? It was very cold (well, in the 50s but for me that is cold!) and very muddy. Jonathan fish-tailed coming in and leaving the farm. Who knew??? We are so used to drought conditions here in Texas that when it rains, we just don't know what to do with ourselves. Okay, I will try and update more often than monthly. He has his 6 month check-up on Wednesday so we are looking forward to seeing where our little guy is on the growth charts. Enjoy!
