Beep Beep! Jacob coming through!

The secretary at our church gave us a coupe car for Jacob around Christmastime.  Her kids were 4 & 3 and are done playing with it.  Jacob absolutely loves it and hates it when he has to get out to go inside.  Brett pushes him from behind and they come flying down the driveway.

Here they come. . .

So happy to be riding in my car :)

He had this sweet smile almost the entire time he was riding around.

Cruising through the front yard.

My favorite pic!  Sweet boy!

Computer Cords

We're not really sure how Jacob figured it out, but he is obsessed with the computer charging cord.  We have a two part charging cord, and he loves the part with the battery box on the end.  The first time he pulled it around the house, he did it for like an hour and a half.  The only problem is that he will try to take it out of the computer while it is charging it.  We definitely say "no no" to that!

Happy Happy with the computer cord :)

Aunt Lauren's Tent and Tunnel

Lauren, my roommate from college, came to visit us to bring Jacob some Christmas gifts and check out our "new" home in Toccoa.  She brought Jacob a super great tunnel and tent to play with!  He wasn't sure what to do with it at first, so Lauren hopped in to show him!  I think she's stuck :)

Now he's coming after her. . .

She finally makes it out of the tent!

As the evening wore on, Jacob loved playing with the tunnel and tent.  Now, the tent is one of his favorite things to play with.  He crawls in and sits still in the middle of the tent.  He is waiting for us to scare him by lifting one of the three flaps and yelling "boo!"  You can see him through the cracks trying to guess which door we are going to bust through!

It took him a minute to realize that he had to lift his knee to get in  and out of the tent.  At first, he would just drag it around the room with his knee.

Thanks Aunt Lauren!

Towers! Towers! Towers! Oh My!

Jacob Isaiah loves blocks!  He has always loved to knock down towers from an early age with the discovery toys cups that Mimi got him.  Renea bought Jacob some Mega Blocks when she came in November and he has loved them so much since then.  Jacob and Daddy especially love to play with them.  Brett builds the most awesome towers for him to knock down.  As you can see, they were both really excited :)

Just about to knock it down. . .

Wow!!! Daddy put a cup on top!

Boom!  It crashes to the floor!

Sweet boy :)

Sitting on the blocks box checking out the keys that Papa Stan gave him earlier in the day.  When we were at the dealership, Jacob wanted to play with all the keys that were on Papa Stan's desk.  Since they all belonged to cars on the lot, he found Jacob some keys he could play with.  It even came with a clicker!

He loves them!

This is my favorite pic. .. he looks like such a big boy!

Crash on Jacob's head :)

Wowwwww!  Look how tall it is!

Daddy's letting Jacob put the last flag on the tower.

What a sweet stage this is!  It is funny that it will sometimes take Brett 5 minutes to build the towers and take Jacob 2 seconds to knock it down.

New Friends & Favorite Books

What a huge blessing it is that our dear friends Jay, Sara, & Bailey Mosser live in Toccoa with us!  They moved to Toccoa and took a youth pastor job here in early October.  We have been super great friends for our entire married lives.  Other than their 2 years overseas, we lived in Dahlonega, Wake Forest, and now Toccoa together.  Bailey and Jacob were born 4 days apart, but you wouldn't know it from just looking at them!  Jacob out weighs her by about 12 pounds.  In the picture below, Bailey is trying to sit in Jacob's lap b/c she thinks he is a "big kid".  Hilarious!  

As you can see, Jacob didn't like it at all that she was in his "space".

Perusing through some favorite books.  I read with sweet boy all day long and he has gotten into the habit of "reading" some himself :)

Playing with daddy when he got home.  How can you not love those sweet brown eyes!

We love you happy boy and thank God for what a blessing you are!
