More Updates








Jacob is now a little over 5 months old. He is doing really well. I keep trying to get photos of him smiling (which he does a lot) but he becomes really interested in the camera every time we try to snap a photo. I took these photos yesterday. He is such a happy and easy going baby. He doesn't have any teeth yet but everything seems to make its way to his mouth these days.

Updates












What has happened over the last month since our last post??? A lot. Jessica and Nora came for a weekend (in mid-Feb) and Jacob was able to meet his Auntie for the first time as well as his cousin. We all had a nice time together, talking, catching up, visiting the aquarium and walking the streets of downtown Charleston. We crossed our fingers the night before that they would still be able to make the trip since we ended up receiving 5 inches of snow, it NEVER snows in SC, funny how things come up when you would least expect them to. Thanks to the warm sunny 50 degree day that follow it, it looked as if it had never snowed at all so everything went as planned. (We had lost power in the middle of the night on Friday and it ended up going down to 59 degrees in the house but luckily the power came back on after about 9 hours).
Jacob is thriving, he is sleeping great, 10 hours at night! He is rolling from his tummy to his back both ways now. He is laughing, smiling, talking, and learning so much, oh and did I mention growing..he is 19 pounds. He is one heavy boy. But he is every bit of healthy and we are so thankful for that.
As for Don and myself, we are doing well. I just battled some kind of bug, a fever for 3 days and no energy whatsoever, but now I am feeling great and staying busy with work and motherhood. Don has been really busy with work, business seems to be picking up (which is always good) and he is also working on studying to become certified in a few different areas within his line of work.
