Jacob turned 8 months a couple weeks go! He is doing so great. He is making new sounds and "talking" by yelling back and forth :) He likes to do this with Claire a lot. He is army-crawling all over the place, and sits up pretty well on his own. He doesn't like sitting for very long, so I still sit behind him to avoid crashes :) He is eating great! Squash, zucchini, pear, apple, banana, cantaloupe, avocado, carrots... all of the good stuff :) He is still sleeping pretty well. He has been getting up at about 3 am for the past week and won't go back to sleep until I feed him. Growth spurt? I thought it might have just been a vacation thing, being in a different place... but he did it last night at home too. I'm guessing growth spurt, and hopefully it's a quick one because I'm tired! He is such an amazing baby boy... growing so fast. He loves to hear himself talk (yell) and isn't happy when Momma leaves the room. He was so good on vacation too!
We left on Thursday 2/28 at 9 pm for Florida with my parents and the Johnsons. There was a storm going on, so we left a little earlier than planned. Got down to Mammoth Caves Friday morning and met up with the Saxtons. Did a cool cave tour, then went to Nashville for lunch at Wildhorse Saloon. Ben's Uncle Larry met us there, and after lunch we walked around downtown for a bit then hit the road again. Drove to Atlanta and stayed the night there... then drove to Orange Lake in Kissimmee the next morning. Had an amazing pool day Monday when it got up to 82 degrees! Tuesday we went to Magic Kingdom and it was perfect! Had amazing weather and only had to wait in one long line. Wednesday we went to eat at T-Rex Cafe and walked around Downtown Disney for awhile, then headed back to the pool. Thursday we went to Animal Kingdom. It rained all morning, and then cleared up. All of the Yosts and Carriers were with us for the morning. Once it cleared up, it was much better. No lines, and we got to visit all of the big attractions. Friday was a little chilly (65ish degrees and windy) so we walked around the resort pools and shops and the guys went golfing. Left Saturday morning and got back yesterday morning, about a 22.5 hr drive back. The kids did SO good. We got Claire a blow up travel bed that worked great. They had a crib we could use for Jake and he did pretty well in it. It was so nice to be in warm weather, as this winter has been brutal. I'm ready for our next vacation already! :)
Claire turns TWO on Saturday! I can hardly believe it... We're doing a Minnie Mouse party for her here in our new garage! Should be fun :)
