Getting to know the new house

As we settled in to our new life, we could see our little man getting more and more comfortable.  The first few weeks he was extra fussy and did not want us to get out of his sight.  He soon began to really know the house and would explore all over.  He tried to open doors and could pitter patter from the front of the house to the back in no time!  
For sure one of the greatest things about living in Toccoa are the grandparents!  As you can see, Jacob is soooo happy getting to hang out with more grandparents!  Nana & Papa came over for like 4 Friday nights in a row so that we could go support our youth at the football games.  He didn't miss us at all!


Settling in for breakfast :)  Around 11 months, Jacob started being really difficult to feed.  We started turning on Baby Einstein or Letter Factory while he ate lunch or dinner.  Breakfast he seemed to do fine without any entertainment.  I definitely felt like a bad parent. . . but it worked!  Thankfully, that was a short phase and we can now do most all our meals without the TV.  I sing, talk, and let him look at books while we eat.  He is so BUSY BUSY BUSY that he is bored to tears in the high chair if something is not going on.  Sometimes we read a book 5 times while he is eating lunch.  Chika Chika Boom Boom is memorized in its entirety right now :)

Playing with the guitar Raegan gave him.

Around a year, he started walking around with his hand holding his throat.  He would do it all the time, even though there was nothing wrong with his throat!  People who weren't around him much would say, "ohhhhh, does his throat hurt?"  We were at the doctor multiple times during that short phase and his throat was perfectly fine!  Just a phase and super funny!
