Happy Thanksgiving
Posted by Missy Roberts at 8:48 PM About Jake
Jacob's first Thanksgiving Day was a great day. It started off wonderful because for the first time Jacob slept through the night last night! Bill and I woke up at about 6am asking each other if either one of us got up with Jacob during the night. To our amazement we had not! He actgually slept until 7am without a peep all night! Oh my goodness...let's hope this becomes the norm.
We went to have Thanksgiving dinner at Nani and Papa's house. Grandma and Grandpa were there too and saw Jacob walking for the first time. Grandma just could not believe that Jacob was already walking, I think she was in a bit of shock when he came out walking to her. We had dinner with Nani, Papa, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle RJ (Auntie Sonnia had to work), Grand Nina, Vanessa and Anissa (Phil and PJ had to stay home because PJ was not feeling well). Jacob had a first today...he was taking a picture with his daddy and Grandma and then out of nowhere he started clapping. Then we all got excited and he started to clap some more...he was so adorable. Gosh, he is just on a roll this week with doing new things. At dinner (which was a little later than expected because the turkey took a little longer to cook), Jacob grubbed on turkey, mashed potatoes, greenbeans and stuffing. He LOVED the turkey. He was making his mmmmm noises when eating. when he got some green beans on his plate, he decided to share some of his veggies with Harley, who was waiting right underneath Jacob's chair. That dog is smart...he knows that Jacob drops a lot of his food on the floor and he was right there to eat it up...what Harley didn't know was that Jacob would actually give him some food.
So Jacob had a great time walking all over the house showing off to everyone. When some music came on he showed off his dancing moves by bouncing up at down to the beat...I must say, the kid has some rythmn. He also made sure to show off his 6 teeth to everyone. He now has his two front teeth, one on the top left and one on the bottom left. He is looking so different now with his two front teeth. One of them is about half way through and the other about 3/4 of the way through, but they look so big in his little mouth. It seems like he is changing every day!
We had a wonderful day and are so thankful for our families and all of our health. This year was a wonderful year full of many blessings. We could not ask for anything more. We are obviously most thankful for our beautiful baby, Jacob. He has been such a blessing in our lives. I don't know what we did before having him. Life seems so much fuller now because of him. We thank God for our healthy and happy little boy. So until next time...mommy and daddy love you!
