Home ONE Month!!

What a wonderful month this has been! Brad went back to work a few days after we got home, so Jacob and I have had a lot of time to hang out by ourselves. I love it! My poor house probably doesn't. Since I spend all my time playing with or holding Jacob, not much gets done at home. I'd MUCH rather be spending time with Jacob than cleaning up, I just hope our guests agree! :) It's amazing how much eaiser it is being a parent at home in the states. We loved the simple life we were living in Ethiopia, but its also nice to have things to help out!! The high chair at meal times has been wonderful!! I can actually grab a bite to eat between feeding him. When we first got home Jacob wouldn't sit on the floor and play without me sitting RIGHT by him or he wouldn't sit in the exersaucer or jumpy toy, but as the month has gone on he is a little more comfortable being out of my arms. He will usually last about 5 minutes now before he wants to be picked up. That usually allows me enough time to do something very small around the house. I love that every decision we have to make is all about Jacob and that he comes everywhere with us!

Here is Jacob playing on Thomas the Train at his cousins house!
