8 Months Old!

Jacoby is 8 months old!  He is the proud owner of 2 bottom teeth (with one top tooth almost poked through) and is quite proficient at sitting up on his own.  He does still take a tumble once in a while, but not too often.  We're still waiting for him to start crawling.  He pushes up onto his hands and knees and rocks back and forth for a little bit before falling back to the ground and going into his superman pose.  He'll take off one of these days and then our lives will change completely!!  Jacoby got to see his first snow at home, but it was a little too cold out to take his picture in the snow.  We might be getting some snow later this week and I don't think it's going to be as bitterly cold as last time, so hopefully I can get some good pics then.  Here are some of the pictures we've taken of him throughout January.

Trip to Massachusetts

I've been meaning to post some of these pictures for a while, but keep getting caught up in other things.  So here it goes...  We flew to Massachusetts over New Years so we could celebrate Christmas with Adam's family.  This was Jacoby's first time flying and his first time to meet Uncle Josh, Uncle Nathan, Auntie Angela, and his cousins Abby, Noah, Hannah, and Jonah, not to mention all of Adam's aunts, uncles, and cousins.  Jacoby did an AWESOME job on the plane.  He slept on every flight and hardly cried at all!  I was so relieved!  Here he is hanging out in the airport waiting to board the plane.

Here we are on the plane before Jacoby passed out.  Adam wasn't ready for this picture apparently.

Here is Jacoby meeting his cousins for the first time.

Our nephew, Jonah had a blast playing in all of the boxes and wrapping paper on the floor.

The kiddos playing peek-a-boo with Jacoby.

I obviously wasn't thinking very well while we were out there and didn't get any good pics of Mom and Dad Silva, Nathan and Angela, or Josh and his girlfriend, Jenn.  Here are some random pics that I got of everyone while we were out at Wright's Chicken Farm.

Jacoby's First Christmas

Jacoby is 7 months old now!  Here he is in his Christmas outfit.

We went to my parents' house because my mom and I were going to bake some cookies.  My grandparents were there, so Great-Grandma Rust watched Jacoby while we baked. 

I was obviously way more excited about Christmas than anyone else.  We set cookies and milk out for Santa on Christmas Eve.  Adam was appauled that I was going to waste milk, so after the pictures, I drank it.

We gave Jacoby a Christmas bow mohawk.

Jacoby wasn't sure what to think about this teether.  It vibrates when he bites down on it.

Jacoby got a pony for Christmas.  He looked so cute on it!

Here's Jacoby with all of his loot from Mommy, Daddy, and Santa of course!

Christmas evening was spent at my parents' house.  Adam had to go to work at 6, so we all just hung out there and watched a movie.  As you can see, Jacoby is getting pretty good at sitting up on his own.  Here he was caught with his hand in the cookie jar.  :)

We had a great Christmas and can't wait to see Matt, Victoria, and Elaina tomorrow and then we're traveling to Massachusetts next Thursday to visit Adam's family.  Jacoby gets to meet his cousins, uncles, and aunts out there.  This will also be Jacoby's first plane ride so pray that all goes well!

Thanksgiving and Adam's Graduation

It's the day after Christmas and I'm just now getting around to posting about Thanksgiving.  Oh well... So for Thanksgiving, my parents and our friends, Autumn and Andy, came to our house for dinner.  I did my first turkey which turned out to be way easier than I thought it'd be.  We had a fun evening and enjoyed TONS of food!  Adam decided to give Jacoby a mohawk for the celebration.

Here are some family Thanksgiving pictures we took.  Jacoby was being so funny!  He kept giving me kisses when we were trying to take a picture of the 3 of us.

Adam's parents got to our house late Friday night and on Sunday, we all went to Indy for Adam's graduation from the IN Law Enforcement Academy.  Jacoby did well on his first night in a hotel.  We also discovered Jacoby's first tooth while we were there!

Adam's graduation was on Tuesday and my parents and Autumn and Andy met us for it.  All of my pictures from the ceremony were too dark, but we took several afterward.  We had a great time.  Jacoby and I are so proud of Adam and we're really glad that he's back home now!!
