12.4.10 Tories B-day Party

We went to our friends birthday party today. She was actually born on Decemebr 25th, two weeks exactly AFTER Jakob, but for obvious reasons, they decided to celebrate early this year. Torie loves Dora, which worked out for me since Jakob does too. He was quite excited about the big Dora balloon and even wore the hat. I love this picture! He was so well behaved too, made me proud.

12.3.10 Getting a Haircut!

Much overdue, and I wanted to go even shorter, but think I need to lose some weight first (after baby comes of course). I couldn't get in with my normal stylist, and after two failed attempts just went somewhere else. I am getting maternity pics done this weekend and wanted a change before then. Plus I figured now was the time to cut it short because I will be off work with the baby so if it looks terrible, who cares! I actually kinda like it, though I do still wish it was shorter. It's super easy and thats what I wanted.

12.2.10 Packing a Bag

I can't believe it took me this long to get a bag packed, but I finally did it. I am ready now, should we get a suprise again, to rush to the hospital at any time. It's kind of annoying too though to stare at the bag every day wondering when I will need it.

12.1.10 The Holding Room

Well my finally finished nursery didn't stay nice for long. It is now so crowded with birthday presents, Christmas presents, and party things, that you can hardly get around in it. I don't know where we are going to hide things next year with no extra room anymore...we need a bigger house!

11.30.10 Book Nut

Jakob loves to read. He climbs up in the rocking chair in his room now (where we read to him every night) and reads to himself. I draped a blanket on his lap to keep his feet warm, and he sat there for like 30 minutes reading out loud to himself and me. It was cute.

11.29.10 Yeah Waffles!

This week I finally got Jakob to try waffles. He loved them and now whenever he gets them he hollars, "Yeah, waffles!"

11.28.10 The Stockings Were Hung

I didn't do much decorating this year. After the tree and the presents, I had little energy to do much else. I did hang the stockings, including the only new addition to our holiday decor-a stocking for Ashlyn. Whether she ends up being here by Christmas or not, I didn't want to leave her out...and the stocking was on sale for $5!
