Jacob and I got our first Christmas card and ornament from Jake!

I'm well aware of the fact that my 5 month old baby didn't make this for us himself but we still loved it.

And then there is the Santa pic...our first picture of him with Santa and he looks ENORMOUS! My preemie baby seems to have caught up with a term baby on his weight.

Christmas Parade 2010!

Jake was in his first Christmas Parade Saturday. He loved all the lights and actually stayed awake for the whole parade.

Here are a few pics.

Jakes 1st "school" Pictures!

We got back our first set of "school" (daycare) pictures yesterday. They turned out really good. Or at least I think so!

We weighed him this morning and we are up to 17.5 pounds. It's hard to believe that he is growing and changing so much.

5 months old and 17.5 pounds!

Santas Little Helper!

Nana & Pop bought Jake this cute "Santas Helper" outfit. Last night we were going to take him to "A night in Bethlehem" (a Christmas thing that our church has every year) and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity for him to wear it since it was 40 something degrees outside. He looked super cute but nobody got to see his outfit because he slept the entire time. We have taken him to the Polar Express train ride and Bethlehem and he slept through both of them. Not that I expect him to remember any of this but we will have pics and cute gifts from both to put in his baby book for his first Christmas. Jacob thinks I'm crazy because I wrapped Jakes Christmas presents and put them under our tree. I want him to have pics by the tree & presents on Christmas morning even if we have to open the presents for him.

Thank you Jacob for passing on your ears to our son!!

So last night Trace was over at our house for a little while and we were sitting on the floor playing with Jake and he informed me that Jake should be an elf for Christmas.

Trace: Alisha, Jake should be an elf for Christmas.

Me: Huh?

Trace: He wouldn't have to dress up because his ears already look like elf ears...see!

Me: (laughing) that wasn't very nice

Trace: Well, just look right here, they stick out a little bit.

So cute but my baby looks more and more like his daddy everyday. I tried!!

I'm BACK!!!

I bet yall never thought you would see this blog updated again! I logged on today and saw the picture of him and thought I should start updating the blog again since we have gotten into a routine and things aren't so crazy anymore.

So many things have changed since the last time I wrote on this blog...I don't know where to start. I STILL have the cutest baby EVER so that hasn't changed but just about everything else has. He laughs, talks NON-STOP (or at least he thinks he is talking), loves his mommy to hold him, sleeps almost all night, weighs about 15.5 pounds and rolls over when he wants to. He doesn't roll very much when I'm around because he wants me to hold him but he rolls at daycare and for his Aunt JuJu and the boys.


Here are just a few pics of my sweetie pie.
