Well true to my word I am finally updating this blog. Since my last post two major events have occurred. The first was Jacob's 2nd Birthday and the second was celebrating New Years at a cabin in the mountains.
I can not believe Jacob is two years old! Time has gone so fast and I find myself saying, "I do not want him to get big." So much for that. His vocabulary grows by leaps everyday and he continues to amaze me. At his two year check-up this past week his doctor was asking basic questions like does he know his body parts? He look right at her and said butt hole. She turned red and started dying laughing. Obviously I wanted to make a good impression with how well he was talking but I was not going for that.
He had three(yes, THREE) birthday parties. He had his choice between Bob the Builder or Thomas the Tank Engine party theme. He choose Thomas. We had a party with Nana and Poppy, Gee and Pepa and went to Chuck E Cheese on his actual birthday. Jacob had so much fun playing with all his cousins and since it was a nice weekend, we spent as much time as we could outside. As I get better at this look for pictures soon to come.
Over New Years we met friends at a cabin for a long weekend. They brought their kids and everyone had a great time hanging out, eating way to much, and watching the kids play. For the first time since the holiday season, I had down time. I did not know what to do with myself except enjoy. Some highlights from the trip: playing cards (which I have not done in forever), talking with my girlfriends in person (so much better than over the phone), and riding through Cades Cove looking at nature (sounds boring and your right, but it was nice).
I also had my 31st birthday while up there. 31 years?? Do I feel it? No way! Some one told me your thirties are so much better than twenties. We shall see. In my twenties I graduated from college, got married, had Jacob. Now I guess I get to enjoy and reap the benefits from all those wonderful things.
I feel I have written a book this post. Hopefully, not so much next time. Remember my resolution: To not stay so busy!

Well I compare blogging to therapy. It is a nice way to say what you want to say without any interruptions. Plus, you can look at it as a time capsule. It will be neat to reflect back in a year or so to see exactly what you were doing. Because you are right, time flies by and before we know it Marlee and Cooper and Jacob will be starting school!
ReplyDeleteI hope to get this comment posted. This is my third try and my very first blog. The holidays and birthdays around our house were so much fun! I especially liked the BIG BLUE CAKE (Thomas Tank), and seeing everyone with blue mouths and teeth :) How is Jacob doing with driving the tractor? Any wrecks?? Good doctor story -- I'm sure he was very proud of himself for knowing all his body parts. He's so smart!
