Random Pictures

So since I recently found the memory card reader and card adapter for my tiny phone memory card from the last 3 months...here are a few pictures of Jacob!!!

This is from July, Jacob is in his laundry basket and loving it!
These two pictures are from our July trip to Pittsburgh. My cousin Beth gave Jacob an apple!

This is from a July trip to the park.
I asked Chad to go change Jacob's clothes after some type of messy incident and he came back like this! Chad's Pitt Basketball shirt and my George Fox shorts! (July)
Uncle Jeremy got this Army shirt for Jacob and an Army bear after he completed his Leadership Training Course. It's a little big for Jacob, but he'll fit in it soon! (August)
This is Jacob with a mouth full of toast and being silly in his highchair! (August)
This is one of the many turtles we find on our morning walks. Jacob really wanted to hold it! (August)

In August, our friend from college, Dave, came to visit and we went to the zoo. Jacob liked this giraffe sculpture.
Jacob's favorite thing...climbing the stairs. (August)
Just a cute picture in overalls in August!
And here are pictures form this month...It's getting harder to get clear pictures since jacob is constantly moving! So sorry for the blurry pics!

Jacob is a climbing boy! He climbed on top of the back of the couch...crazy!This is a chair that was my dad's. It will eventually be the time out chair, like it was for my brother and I. Jacob was sitting in it, but he decided to get out right as I took the shot!

Jacob is ready to cheer on the Steelers in an outfit that was my brother's!
Jacob has 2 stuffed animals that he randomly carries around... a lion and a dinosaur.
This picture you can just see the lion's mane, but Jacob really likes him!
Here's the dinosaur...I don't know what's with Jacob's face, he was really happy!

Book shelves + Jacob = Mess

First of all, I'm sorry for lack of pictures lately. I lost my memory card reader and then found it and now I'm not sure where it is again. But I found and used different one so I have a couple pictures for all my readers (though I think that might just be my mother-in-law and aunt).

Jacob loves to crawl out to the living room/library and pull books of the book shelves! Of course, then I have to put them back in alphabetical order by author. But it's really funny. I have a video that I hope to edit and put up as well.

Here a couple pictures of him caught in the act. He is either going to love reading or want to be involved in demolition (which he is already good at!).

Oh and Jake currently has a cold, pray that it gets resolved really soon.

First Steps!

Jake has made his first few steps the last few days! He's not really walking yet, but he's getting more confident in not holding on to things! I can stand him up in front of me and he will walk 3-5 steps to get to me! Today he was holding onto our papasan chair and was a little bit away sitting on the floor and he let go and walked 3 steps to me.

So any day now he will realize he can really walk!

My life is about to get crazier! Whoohoo!

Fall?

The last two mornings on our walks, Jake, Morgan, and I have enjoyed the smallest taste of Fall weather. I love the Fall. It is my favorite season with Winter at a very close second. I think I've posted my reasons before. I have greatly enjoyed the just warm enough in the sun and cool in the shade feeling! However, we live in North Carolina so I am not getting hopes up that this will last and get cooler soon...I think it's supposed to be back in the mid to upper 80s next week.

But this glimpse of the coming Fall has brightened my spirits! I can't wait!
