Jacob had his first Thanksgiving

Well Jacob had his first Thanksgiving and all went well. We drove down to Sandersville to my mother in laws on Wed evening and stayed the night. Thursday afternoon we had a huge Thanksgiving lunch at James grandma's who is 81 years old and still cooking her huge feast, that lady amazes me! After enjoying lunch and fellow shipping with James family we headed back to Mableton around 3:00pm to make it to my mothers around 5:30pm for Thankgiving dinner, thats right, we had to eat twice! I tried hard not to eat too much at James grandma's but her red velvet cake, chocolate cake, and many other desserts to choose from were irresistible! I don't care to know how many pounds I gained that day, I tried to just enjoy this special Thanksgiving which was my little boys first. Jacob enjoyed all the foods that we had beside the desserts. He had a little turkey, corn, mashed potatoes, dumplings, green beans, sweet potatoes, corn cruffle, dressing, pineapple caserole, and rolls! He was loving it and he was stuffed after a long day of eating.

I was so thankful for all the blessings the Lord has blessed me with on that day of Thanksgiving. I am thankful for my wonderful husband, no matter what difficult times come our way, we stick together through it all and have a love for each other that will never end. I am thankful for my wonderful son whom I desired for many years before the Lord decided it was time to bless us with him, I love him more then words can say and I'll never forget what a miracle he truly is. I am thankful for my family, I wouldn't be the person I am without them, I am thankful that I got to be with each and every one of them for this special holiday. I am thankful for my friends, though I didn't get to spend this special day with them, they were on my heart and I am thankful to have them in my life. I am thankful for all the necessities that I am provided in life, a nice vehicle, home, food, clothes...things people might take for granted, I am just so blessed and thankful for it all, though I might forget to thank the Lord for it all on a daily basis.

I have some pictures to share from Thanksgiving but I have not uploaded them yet, so I will be sure to post them within the next couple days once their uploaded...God Bless!

Jacobs first Halloween

Well Jacobs first Halloween went well, he was an adorable little monkey, my favorite animal! We dressed him up and took pictures and on Halloween night we took him around our neighborhood for some trick or treating, even though he can't have candy yet, mommy and daddy enjoyed it and still are :). His cousins little Shayna and Taylor went trick or treating with him, Taylor was Dorthy from wizard of oz and Shayna was a cute little flower. He was so tired after trick or treating though, he got his bath and went straight to bed.

A few days prior to Halloween we craved a couple pumpkins, Jacob loved playing in the gooey filling of the pumpkin and loved chewing on the top part of the pumpkin even more! We had a really good time with it.

A new milestone for Jacob that he started almost two weeks ago....clapping! I absolutely love it, he loves to clap and its the cutest thing ever. Crawling is a no issue for him anymore, he crawls so fast that he is completely across the other side of the house in 20 seconds. He is pulling up on everything and cruising along furniture, I am guessing by his first birthday he might be taking some of his first steps, we shall see, I am in no hurry!

We're already planning his first birthday, I can't believe it, his first birthday! I am thinking about a winter themed birthday; snowflakes, icicles, snowmen, etc as the decorations and a snowman cake since his birthday is in the middle of winter. I wanted to be a little different from the typical birthday themes like character themes, so we'll see if I stick with the winter theme, winter is my favorite season by a mile! Thats why I got married in January and how convenient that I had my first baby in January.

Well I'll leave this post as I leave all my posts.....more pictures! Here are a lot of pictures from Halloween...enjoy!
