Happy Thanksgiving!

 

 

 

 


Well, we left last Tuesday for Josh's brother Caleb's house where we would stay for the next 4 nights and 5 days! We got in late Tuesday night and woke up on Wednesday and went to Greenville. We hung out with Riley (baby girl pictured above) and her mommy Aron! Then we took the boys around Greenville and visited the Bob. We drove back to Asheville that afternoon and played Wii all night. Thursday we woke up, got everybody ready and loaded up and drove down to Easley, SC to have Thanksgiving dinner at Josh's Grammy's house. It was great! Food was wonderful and Noah even had his 2nd cousin Griffin to play with! On the way back to Asheville from Grammy's we stopped at Bald rock and thought it would be fun to take some pictures. Well the thought was good, we didn't really get any good shots. It was freezing and neither boys had a nap. We'll keep trying. We got home that night and I woke up about 4 am and headed out to do my shopping (oh, did I mention I took Jacob with me). It was great fun! Ran to the stores I wanted to and got home about 7am. Josh and Noah went with Uncle C and Grandaddy to Dick's while Jacob went with me and the girls out to do some more shopping. We finally got home about 5 and then all went out to dinner. We left about noon on Saturday. Thanks to Caleb and Heather for being wonderful hosts!

On another note. Jacob is sick. The poor little guy has a yucky nose and has a raspy little voice. He hardly eats anything and I think it is because his throat is sore. Poor baby! He hasn't been sleeping well at all and I know it's because he can't breathe through his nose. He's a trooper though. He still has his usual big grin on his face while he is playing. If it doesnt clear up in the next few days I think I am going to call the doc.

Noah has been going through the "naked" stage lately. He is constantly hiding in a room and taking off his clothes. Then he runs out and around naked! He has been taking EVERYTHING off, even his diaper! Tonight we had rehearsal for our canata (Josh and I are Joseph and Mary) and the girls (volleyball players) said that he kept taking his diaper off and threw a fit when they tried to put his pants on him..... What an odd thing to do! So, between making sure Noah is clothed, and Jacob's nose is wiped, I have been trying to sort clothes, decorate for Christmas, and schedule photo shoots! Never a dull moment around this house! I love it!

Jacob Update!

 

 

 

 


Well, Jacob started crawling about 2 weeks ago and since then he hasn't stopped! He now lifts his belly to crawl and boy can he move! He also sits up by himself and when he's tired of crawling, he will put himself in a sit up position and play. He's been eating alot lately! I just started making my own baby food. I am totally in love with the concept and so is he! It saves us lots of money and tastes better! Can't go wrong!!

Grandma was here!





So, about a week ago (I can't believe I haven't updated since then) my mom came down for a visit. It was an extremely short trip, but at least we got to see her. Noah loved the fact that she would read every single book he gave her. Jacob thought she was silly, because she kept kissing him. She even went to Jacob's doctor appoitment with us. Jacob is 18.4 lbs and 27 inches long. They say he is 50% in weight, and 90% in height. He is crawling all over the place! He started almost a week ago, and has been getting quicker and quicker each day. He uses his kness alot more now. He is also sitting up pretty well by himself. He definately knows who his mommy and daddy are. Whenever he is nursing and Josh is in the room talking to me, or on the phone, Jacob will stop eating and turn his head to wherever his daddy is, then give him a big ole grin. It's cute, but annoying because he needs to eat. Speaking of eating, he is doing 3 meals a day and nurses 4 times a day. He's getting to be so big!

Engagemnet Shoot





This is an engagement shoot I did for Bobby and Mindy. They are getting married in April, and contacted me through craigslist to do their wedding and engagement pics. They were a hoot and I just had to show some of our shots!
