Jacob did a lot of climbing and exploring this week

Jacob also did a lot of walking with this fabulous toy!!
Jacob also let me dress him in some corny ridiculous plaid shorts with a matching plaid helicopter onesie!

One of my favorite Homecoming pictures! Jacob just hung onto his Daddy with a smile on his face!

Saying 'bye' to Daddy before he heads off to fly.

He loves talking to his "da-da-da-da"

Reading to himself in his crib. This is what he does while I bring up the groceries!

Standing at his crib undoing his bumper pads

Favorite Photos!!

He just looks so big sitting on the bathroom step! And he needs his 1st haircut!!

He looks liks such a little man in this picture! It's so hard to get a picture of him not moving now!

Jacob watched me unload the dishwasher one night. He was so happy touching all the clean dishes and was thrilled when I gave him a spoon to hold! He played with it for about 20 minutes!!

While we were back in AMERICA for two months we found a terrific photographer. Check her out Eli Faye Photography. We loved her. I picked 114 of my favorite photos today to print out!!! Here are just a few that make me smile!

Favorite Photos!

Okay, I'm really slacking but in all honesty Jacob is keeping me on my toes because he never just sits still anymore plus I'm trying to finish all of my busy projects that I have started since Jon has been gone. I have to hurry and get them done!! Thank goodness I'm almost done with our bedroom!!!

Jacob is loving pool time on the porch now. It's especially hilarious when he decides he wants to try to stand up in the middle of the pool. Gravity usually doesn't work out for him!

He loves boxes!!

He has learned to stand really well since Jon has been gone this time. I have to convince him to sit down now!

Favorite Photo Friday...a little late

I've been so busy trying to set up our shutterfly webpage with pictures of Jacob that I used nap time yesterday to try to load more pictures. I only got done with October and November. Our little boy has had about 15,000 pictures taken in his first 9 months! So, it is taking a lot of time to go and pick out the ones I like the most to share with our family back home who have only seen Jacob once or twice!

We took some pictures in Jacob's robe for Jon's email and this is what I got when I said the word "Daddy"

This is Jacob watching Jon read him books on the computer. He misses his Daddy. I'm so glad we got a chance to actually record Jon before he left this time. Jacob can be anywhere in our apartment and if I turn the volume up on the computer and start a video he gets to the office quickly and he is usually out of breath!

We said goodbye to Jacob's swing this week. We sold it for $60 and it is actually on it's way to England. That is the next duty station for the family that bought it from us!! I had to take one last picture of him in it!

Favorite Photo Friday

Jacob sure does love his Daddy! He didn't want to let go when Jon was saying 'see you real soon' to him before deploying again.

Playing peek-a-boo with one of the flat Daddy's I made for him. He was sliding Flat Daddy under the rug and then lifting the rug up and finding him. He will sometimes sit or lay and hold his Flat Daddy up that he is playing with and just talk to it!
He is such my little ham! He was all dressed for bed. It was his first time wearing shorts to be ever so of course I had to take a picture!

Here are some of my favorite pictures of "us" that we took this week!

Favorite Photo Friday...

I am so thankful for the digital age! I think I take an average of 100 pictures a week of Jacob. Of course he is quick so not all are GREAT but I do have my favorites. I've decided that I will start to post my favorite photo or a few of Jacob from the week now on fridays! I just love our little boy and I cannot believe how BIG he is getting!!!

Jacob was sitting in the laundry basket in his room with Larry the Cucumber and a Veggie Tale book called "God loves you very much". He loves his VEGGIES!!!

I take a picture every time Jacob experiences a new food and this week it was Chicken!

Jacob and his new toy! I think he liked it more while he was in the buggy at the exchange now that it's out of the packaging he could care less.
