NJ and Halloween by Jacey-Kate

I went to see my great grandparents in New Jersey two weekends ago. They were really really sweet and I loved sitting on my great grandma's lap. I was a good girl all weekend long, even on the 2 hour plane ride. Each night when I went to sleep, I decided to try my new trick on mommy and daddy....I can roll over now! We had lots of fun with my great aunt and uncle, great cousins, grandma, grandpa and aunt Laura. Great uncle Gregg was the funniest guy I've ever met! He told me lots of funny things to do to my mommy and daddy. :-)

My first Halloween was so much fun especially because my Lulu, Dee, Uncle Jared, Aunt Christy and my cousin Luke came to visit. I got to be a pumpkin and went to a Halloween party in Serenbe. It was definitely past my bedtime, so I only stayed for a little while. Long enough to drink my bottle and give everyone a quick smile. I can't wait until next Halloween. Mommy has a great idea for a really fun costume for me! Hope you had a Happy Halloween, too!!

Mommy's Little Bama Baby

Jacey-Kate had her first college visit this past weekend. We had so much fun in B'ham and Tuscaloosa visiting old friends for Homecoming and Kara's cheer reunion. Aunt Yumi spoiled Jacey-Kate with a cute new sweater dress, tights and piggy bank. Thanks Yumi!!! Roll Tide!

13 Weeks or 3 Months

Jacey-Kate has really surprised us with all her new talents lately. On her 3 month birthday, she decided she'd shock mommy and sleep 12 hours! 7:45pm-7:45am and I woke-up in a panic wondering why she wasn't ready to eat again. :-) Actually, I hear I'm quite lucky because Jacey-Kate has been sleeping 8-10 hours the past 2 1/2 weeks. I should thank the rice cereal and baby oatmeal for her new sleeping habits.

Russ and I are surprised every day because she'll do something new. Giggling is just adorable and the baby talk is too cute. A few week ago we went in to get her up and she had rolled herself over in her crib. She's such a big girl!! We are loving every minute of being parents. It's hard to believe that you can love someone so much, but it's a completely different love than I have ever experienced. Loving Jacey-Kate like I do gives me a glimpse of how the Lord loves us. I'm blown away at that thought. Enjoy the pics!

10 Weeks

Jacey-Kate had an exciting 10th week of life. She went to an assisted living home to hang out with some fun older folks, attended a party in her honor with the women of Serenbe, and she even slept through the night. She continues to make her Mommy and Daddy proud!

My Great Grandma's 95th Birthday

Those of you who know Grandma Faye will really enjoy looking at these pictures. She had not met Jacey-Kate before yesterday, so her 95th birthday party was very special. Grandma's birthday wish was to live for 5 more years! We all hope that will be possible and loved spending time with her yesterday. It was really nice to have all of dad's side of the family together again.

Jacey-Kate enjoyed being held and cuddled with yesterday. She was really interested in her cousin, Luke. He wasn't quite sure what to think of the little baby, but was really excited about the doggie. The birthday party must have worn little Jacey-Cakes out because she fell asleep around 9:30 and didn't wake up until 6:15 this morning! YEA for Jacey-Cakes!!!! YEA for mommy getting to sleep 7 straight hours. :-)

My Favorites at 2 Months

I can't believe Jacey-Cakes is 2 months old! Our sweet daughter weighs 11 lbs. 8.5 oz and she's in the 90th percentile for her height. We were told that her height should take on her parents' genes by the time she's 2. So much for her being tall!!! Here's a slideshow of Jacey-Kate's favorite things to do as a 2 month old. Hope you enjoy!

Football...Finally!!!!

 


We are all so excited that Labor Day Weekend finally arrived. :-)
Jacey-Kate enjoyed her first football games! We had a lot of fun with Annie and were really happy to see her. It had been too long!
Good thing both of Jacey-Kate's teams won. Roll Tide and go Buckeyes!!!
