Holla!

This is a shout out to Jacob's friends and family that he has seen over the last few weeks. As Jacob always says,..."Holla my peeps!"



Braden, word up dawg! We were so glad we got to meet you. We look forward to hanging with you in the hood again sometime in the future!


What up cousin Jack? Thanks for a great visit at your new crib! We loved seeing you!

Word up Ryan! You were super cool and I loved that you wanted to hold me.

Hey baby girl. Mattie, we got nothing but mad love for you!

Girl, you so fine we had to post two pictures of you!

Just hanging with the crew,...Lauren, Joshua, Sarah, and Jacob....rolling with our hommies.

Joshua's baby daddy and Jacob's baby daddy...sweet!

Jacob and Madison at lunch. Madison was getting fresh with Jake. I am not going to say that Jake didn't like it...

Jacob and Madison again. I had to include this one because Jake and his baby mama are just chilling in their shades.

To our hommies...we love you all! WORD!

Too big to care!

For all of you moms out there I know you remember the final days of pregnancy...they are hard. All you want to do is wear the most comfortable clothes you can find and you really don't care about how you look. Below is a pic of me when I was already a WEEK past my due date! Yes, I really did get that huge. And for the record I was pregnant for another week after this picture was taken! I have sworn that for my next pregnancy I am going to have a t-shirt made that says "too big to care" and I am going to wear it for the entire 9th-10th month. (yes, that is right, women are actually pregnant for 10 months!)

I am writing this post in honor of my dear friend Kristen. She is due mid June and no longer feels adorable, but I assure you she is! This past weekend I saw her and she was talking about how she just wants to wear comfy clothes. It became obvious to me that she did not care about what she was wearing when I saw she had on her husbands Texas A&M shorts. Most of you are thinking, big deal? But this is huge, Kristen is a UT grad so for her to wear A&M shorts means she really is desperate to be comfy! The proof is below.

Here is Kristen at her baby shower in Dallas. Come on people post a comment telling Kristen that she is adorable! If you are a mom you remember how uncute you felt at the end so give her some virtual love!

Thank you Nana!

Nana bought Jacob a silver cup.  The funny thing is he LOVES it.  Tonight I couldn't take it away from him.  Here is he saying, "I love my silver cup!  Thanks Nana!"  Well, okay, he didn't really say that, but if he was talking he would have said that.  

Drum roll please...

We are excited to announce that Jacob is officially crawling.  He has been working on this for a few weeks and there were a few times I was tempted to call what he was doing crawling, but today it is official...he can crawl.  (For all of those skeptics out there...see the video as proof.)  

Now I know that all you experienced moms out there are laughing at me...I know that I will enjoy this moment of joy for only a second before I realize the added work that goes into a crawling baby!  :0  So let me have my moment and next week I can cry because I am chasing him everywhere and have to baby proof my house.  

Emily, notice the "Go Wonder Pets" book!  HA!

First Birthday Party

Maria took Jacob to his first neighborhood birthday party last week and he LOVED all the kids.  Here is a picture of him enjoying himself.  It was Emily's birthday (the older woman with her arm around Jake).  

I don't know how to tell Mattie this, but Jake was pretty into Emily.  I know Jacob likes an older woman (Mattie is 6 weeks older), but this may be too old...I mean she is able to feed herself.  Mattie, we need to rekindle the love affair between you and Jacob!

Mr. Cool

It is ridiculous...Jacob gets his first pair of sunglasses and it is all we can take pictures of.  I can't help myself...his shades totally crack me up!  Here are some shots of Mr. Cool...

Before I forget to mention it, Maria got these shades for Jacob.  Thanks Maria!  You are too good to us! :0

Jacob is the biggest kid on the block...no really, he is.

Today was Jacob's 6 month check up and he is in the 99% percentile. If I understand this all correctly, that makes him bigger then 99% of the other kids his age. WOW, Jacob you are a big boy. Some would ask, why wasn't he in the 100% percentile, but I am not sure that is possible...can you be bigger then 100% of other kids your age? How would they prove that? Well, enough about that...

For those of you that know Andy, you know he is a proud dad of his big boy! We are hoping for some sports scholarship money...especially with this tough economy. Below are a few pics of the little man...ahem...I mean big man...in honor of his hugeness and his 6 month birthday.

Jake says: Just showing off my pearly whites while eating some rice cereal...if you look closely you can see my two bottom teeth. (Mom says: Did I mention those dientes made me bleed the other day...what,?...not a story for the public blog...yea,...I agree. Moving on...)


Dazed and confused, but still cute.


Loving my new hat. Maria, thanks for finding it!
