Oh my!

Well well, Jacob and I had quite a day on Wed. I put him in his jumperoo and about 10 minutes later he started to fuss, I smelled something so I picked him up, and to my horrific amazment, Jacob's right leg was now a shade of brown, lets just say he had a major and I mean major blow out! It was quite a sight as I rushed him up stairs to the bathroom; he was kicking his legs in excitement but it wasn't too exciting cleaning the mess off the floor from him kicking his legs, I just cleaned him up the best I could and put him in the bath tub, he thought it was a bit funny but my goodness, what a time lol.

Well, onto other, less gross things. Jacob is sitting like a champ, he has been sitting for months but after about 30 seconds would start tilting over to fall, the last two weeks he's been sitting up without falling, he now sits up in his crib and turns his aquarium toy thats attached to his crib on, this is how I know he is awake. He is also trying his darnest to crawl still, he can get around short distances but it isn't a typical crawl, its kind of a....get up on the hands and knees and jolt myself forward kind of thing, I'm in no hurry to have him wreaking the house though, so whenever he crawls, thats fine.

We celebrated James 36th birthday all last week. Sept 1st we were at James mothers house a couple hours away for the annual labor day barbaque so she cooked homemade lazagna and brownie sundae's for dessert, yum! Those were James birthday dinner requests. Wed, I dropped Jacob off at my moms and James and I went out for his actual birthday, Sept 3rd and ate at a great italian restaurant called Scallinis, they give you a free meal if you eat there on the actual day of your birthday, you have to show them your i.d. Thursday night I decided to make one of James favorite meals, chicken pie, and he requested a chocolate mousse cake, I have never made a chocolate mousse cake before but being the avid baker that I am, I knew I could do it, so after much research on the dessert recipes, I chose one and decided to make it, it was an intense, time consuming recipe but it paid off, I have to say, it was one of the best chocolate desserts I've ever had and James loved it, it lasted almost a week, and I probably gained 5 pounds. Friday night our good family friend that I call my other brother took James to Longhorn, paid for his meal, and he got free ice cream, as well as eating more of my mousse cake that night. Saturday my parents took James out to his favorite restaurant, Maggianos and we had birthday cake back at my moms, so needless to say, James got several birthday celebrations last week, and we both ate far too much!

We're heading up to James Uncles this weekend for some fishing, yay! I love to fish, though I won't bait my hook if their using live worms, I will bait a cricket though. I love catching the fish more than anything, I make James take the fish off the hook for me :). His uncle has a beautiful lake house in the mountains of Jasper, GA...its so peaceful and relaxing, I hope Jacob has a good time. My parents and my oldest brother are meeting us up there for the day tomorrow.

Well, thats about all for now, time to pack for the weekend, here are a few pictures from James birthday outings, oh yes, and I got a new haircut:
