Friday iPhone Dump #33

Jacob got a new pair of pajamas the other night which inspired him to dig out the DJ Lance hat and glasses.


Then, for some reason, we began talking about sitting on Santa's lap and telling him what we want for Christmas. For the first time, Jacob said he would sit on his lap this year and not be scared. So, Randy was pretending to be Santa and Jacob was practicing. Hannah was just along for the ride...


Her favorite toy...the trash can.


Coloring. I'm not sure why he rarely wears clothes inside our house these days.


Memaw is back at work (sewing, I mean) and sent him this shirt. He had to put it on immediately!!


I think I need cabinet locks. I've been fighting it, but it looks like the time has come.


Playing at Memaw and Pawpaw's house on Thanksgiving.


Just had to make sure I had a picture of the dress since she only wore it once!!


That's it this week!!

Friday iPhone Dump #32

Last Friday night, we were bored and headed up to the mall to ride the small rides.


This is a space simulator. I've never seen him sit so still!!


Hannah just watched.


As we were leaving, he had to try on this mask. He has gotten crazy about masks and helmets now!


Saturday was a friends birthday party at a local gym.


Even Hannah got into the foam pit.


She had a blast crawling around everywhere.


Jacob loved the trampolines the best.


The "coach" was talking to them about what they can and can't do in this part if the gym and Hannah crawled all of the way up to Jacob (she and I were about 20 feet behind the kids) just to put her head on his shoulder. So sweet!!


Jacob was a hot, sweaty mess when it was over.


And Hannah sat still for a cute picture with Daddy!


Jacob loves playdoh and would play every day.


Luckily, Randy likes it too. And, Jacob prefers to play with Daddy. Here is why: This is Randy's breakfast food assortment all made from playdoh. Crazy!


Tuesday was Randy's birthday! Look closely at the middle card...Jacob wrote "Daddy" himself.


Waiting for Daddy to get home, when cake is involved, is tough!!


Wearing her party hat...for 2.3 seconds.


3D plates require special glasses!


Such cuties.


This is where Hannah prefers to hang out while Jacob eats breakfast.


She HATES things on her head...which is why we put them there!!


Attempting to clean out the toy room. An empty toy box is fun to play in!!

Friday iPhone Dump #31

I have very few pictures to share since most of them were in my Atlanta post. Since that one was mainly Jacob, this will be mainly Hannah!

Having fun at Little Gym.


She was even good when she was the demo kid with Mrs. Pat (she usually cries).


She LOVES playing with these sticks.


Look at the big girl standing alone! She did it for the longest time this day!


Wanting to eat her sticks.


She pretty much only holds her own bottle. She doesn't need me any more!


This isn't a good picture, but Jacob got a (short) haircut this week.


Pretty girl!


This is her silly pose.


And she randomly does this when she's being silly.


That's it!!

Atlanta

I took so many pictures while in Atlanta that I decided it needed it's own post. We went because Randy needed to attend a conference to get CE hours. We tossed around the idea if him going to something alone, but that didn't seem like much fun. And Jacob really wanted to fly on an airplane (he doesn't remember his only other plane ride to Louisville because he was only 15 months old). However, I really wasn't looking forward to taking Hannah (and all of the stuff you need for a 9/10 month old) on the plane. So, Memaw agreed to watch her while we went. Jacob had so much fun and was even better behaved than I had hoped!

I already showed some of the pictures of the plane ride up there, so I'll pick up from there.

Memaw does a good job of keeping me informed on what she and Hannah are doing. Here, mom is trying to check her email, with Hannah's help.



And this was Friday morning. She tried to convince me that they had too much fun the night before and were in jail. With Hannah, I'd believe it!


First thing we did on Friday morning was hit up the Atlanta Aquarium. It's the largest in the world and was pretty cool. Jacob liked it but it wasn't his favorite.





Watching the sea lions. It was quite crowded for a Friday morning.



Learning about the animals with Daddy.


Sharks! He did like these a lot.


A grouper fish (that he called Mr. Grouper from Bubble Guppies).


Fun at the gift shop.


They had a huge play thing that he just made the cut (height wise) for.


Watching the turtles...





Jellyfish.


More pictures!! He was over taking pictures at this point.


This was a tunnel to the other side of an aquarium. It looks cute but I didn't get any fish in the picture to prove this was an aquarium!


Hanging out with the alligator.


More fun in the gift shop, of course.








After the aquarium, we found a park and played. He had fun, but it wasn't his favorite.


Then we had lunch.


Back home, Hannah enjoyed some scrambled eggs.


And had her toe nails painted. NOT an easy job!!


That night, we found a parking lot carnival and played a little. He liked this, as he does a parking lot carnivals, but not his favorite.














Saturday was Hannah's 10 month birthday. We cheated a little and took this before we left on Thursday.


Back in Atlanta, we went on a big Ferris wheel/gondola thing called Skyview. It was almost 200 feet tall and you could see a lot. Randy was a little scared but Jacob and I thought it was cool.





Olympic park (from the 1996 summer games) was right across the street.


See, Randy was scared and would not let me move around...any.


Jacob was fine.


Some views of the city.








Jacob and the huge Christmas tree in Olympic Park.


Then we stumbled upon a Veteran's Day parade. Jacob liked the motorcycles, but they weren't his favorite.


And, we did the Atlanta Children's Museum, which he liked and was almost his favorite.








Last, we rode a train called the Pink Pig.


Meanwhile, Hannah was back home getting spoiled and rocked to sleep for her nap.


If you look closely at this picture, you can see Jacob napping. He was exhausted and was even able to nap in the same room as Randy watching an Aggie football game.


So, what was his favorite part? If you ask him, even today, his favorite part of the entire trip was wearing an astronaut helmet, in the Houston airport, on our way to collect our bags. He only wore it for 5 seconds but he is STILL talking about it. Crazy kid!!
