Jacob's bed

Jacob has decided that he no longer likes his bed. Yesterday he slept on the floor for both is nap and the entire night. We are going to give it a few more days to see if it is a phase or we need to shop for a big kid bed for him.

Backyard Playing....

We spent some time this evening playing in the backyard. Jacob wanted to roll down the hill. He did and giggled the entire way down!

We also played some baseball...

and in the sandbox...

Lazy 5 Ranch

Today we took a trip up to Mooresville to Lazy 5 Ranch. We had a blast!!

1st Baseball game

We took Jacob to his first baseball game last night. There was a huge threat of rain. It has rained some before the game but we drove toward the stadium and the weather seemed ok. We really didn't think Jacob would make it more than an hour or so. So, we braved the weather and went.

It did rain for a few minutes so we walked around during that time. It ended up being a great night to go. It was not very crowded and it was cool outside. Jacob had so much fun!!

Jacob LOVED the Dragons from FAR AWAY. He wanted to watch for them all the time and to go see them but when it came down to it, he didn't want to get too close. I got him to agree to a picture if I stood between him and the Dragon. By the time dad took the picture, he had seen her enough and was ready to not stand so close.

Jacob did so well at the game that we stayed for Fireworks at the end. He asked to leave about half way through them. When we got to the car, he said he didn't like them because he could not see the Dragons (They turned the stadium lights off and it was dark on the field)

*Sorry for the crummy pictures- they were taken with my cell phone.

First Dentist Visit

Jacob went for his first trip to the dentist today and he did AWESOME!! He climbed right up on the table. The assistant showed him all of her "tools". He laid down like a big boy and did really well for the first half. He got nervous halfway through and needed me to sit closer and hold his hand but he still did really well. He had a couple of tears but NO screams like the kids around him.

After the cleaning, the dentist came to check out his teeth. He was perfect for her. He opened wide and let her check out all his teeth. They were perfect- no issues!!

He enjoyed checking out the mirror!!

Since this was his first visit, they are going to wait and do the x-rays next time.

Weekend at the Beach

Early Morning photos on the beach

Jacob and I got up early this morning and went on a walk on the beach. We took some cute pictures and picked up a few shells! We (ok really- I) had planned on doing a family photo on the beach but Saturday we lost track of time and Jacob took a late nap and we ran out of time! We plan to do it when we go back for the week when we are not so rushed!!
