It's time for an update!

Wow it's been quite awhile. It's amazing how time can run away from me so quickly. It felt like the beginning of December just yesterday and it's already February. We've done quite a bit these past few months including a very fun Christmas/New Years vacation to Orlando, FL and Disney World. My parents treated the whole family to 10 days in Florida by renting a big house 10 minutes from Walt Disney World with plenty of room and our own pool. We spent our time hopping around to different theme parks like Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood studios, and Animal Kingdom. Mike and I had such a blast watching Jacob take in all the fun. We found out that his favorite rides include dumbo (which he didn't want to get off of), the merry-go-round, and above all else "It's A Small World". Here are some pictures of everything. Thanks Mom and Dad for giving us such a wonderful vacation. We LOVED it!!!

Since getting back our lives have returned back to their normal rhythms, with Mike working at Continuant and me picking up a few shifts a week at the hospital in between taking care of our sweet little man. I'm a lucky girl that I have the ability to pick and choose the days I get to work and that I have such a great mom who is willing and happy to watch Jacob when I do have to work. Jacob has picked up a few new tricks as well since the last time I wrote. He is now a full fledged toddler and is walking everywhere! It's so cute to watch him meander about with his arm out for balance and his legs spread wide like he just dismounted a horse. He sure gets around quickly and needs to be watched even more carefully since he's now figured out how to open doors and likes to head straight out to the garage! He also loves that he can carry things around with him and will be often found wandering around with either a toy of his or mommy's tuppaware which he loves to take from the kitchen. He sure keeps us busy!
