9 pounds, 1 ounce
20 inches long
Hannah and I are both home and doing great. We came home on Friday and have been busy since. Jacob is the best big brother and is doing so much better than most of us expected. We are all very busy now but know that many of you want to see pictures. So, I'll try to blog more later (when we are getting more sleep) but, for now, pictures will have to do.
This is the only picture I seem to have of Jacob meeting Hannah. He had school that day and got to wear one of his three big brother shirts. They also read a special book called I'm a Big Brother now and Jacob got to sit on his teacher's lap. All grandparents were here to meet her and M was trying to get Jacob to give Hannah a kiss.
Our only attempt, so far, at a family picture. I love that Jacob is escaping and Randy looks like he's about to drop Hannah. (For the record, he wasn't!) We'll wait a while before scheduling a family portrait session.
All dressed up (Hannah, not me...those are PJs) and ready to go home.
Sweet girl on her first day at home. I had to be sure and show a picture of all of that hair!!
I forgot about this family picture (which isn't good either!). Here was her first outing...to La Finca which was the first place we took Jacob, too (and I finally had a margarita!!!!!).
We had lots if visitors this weekend. It was crazy and fun and just the way we like it!!
Memaw and Pawpaw with their 4 grand kids and Mr. Whiskers.
Brandl (my brother), Danielle, Brooke, Tyler, Jacob and Hannah.
Laura (Randy's sister), Scott, Makinley, Molly, Jacob and Hannah.
First bath! Memaw is here helping (thank goodness) and Jacob was her supervisor.
We had a small hiccup in breastfeeding which led to lots of screaming and crying (not only Hannah!!) which only lasted less than 24 hours. She got her first bottle due to this. However, we are back on track and all much happier!!
Jacob also got to help with a bottle feeding.
We have also taken the pacifier away due to the breastfeeding problems, but she did have it for a day. I love a new baby with a pacifier so I love this picture!!
And, last, my favorite picture! Love these guys (and gal)!!

Time to have a baby!!
I know I've been terrible about blogging, and I apologize. I won't bore you with details about pregnancy #2 making me very tired, so let's just say I take a lot if naps when Jacob naps (which is when I used to blog).
In case you haven't heard, we have scheduled my c section for Wednesday, January 9th at 7:30am. I'm hoping I can convince Randy to take over blogging again since he did so well when Jacob was born. I think you all should leave a comment here telling him you want him to blog. :0)

Trick or Treating...a little late
With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, I feel compelled to blog about Trick or Treating so that we don't miss a thing. So, here it goes...
It was fantastic this year. Jacob is at a cute trick or treating age made even better by his not-taught-by-me-polite-ness. I can only assume that his school works on "Thank You" and "You're Welcome" a lot because he's very good at it. Which scored him some extra candy. Couple that with the fact that he would reach in for a 10 year old sized handful, and our neighbors got quite a kick out of him visiting. Now, on to the pictures...
Just waiting to put on my "Tirate" costume. We had to wait for Daddy to get home!!
Finally!! Ready to go...
Just another shot with Daddy. He's getting good at "Show me your Happy Face (another thing they worked on at school)."
Jacob and his "loot".
Jacob loves suckers, and I thought this one would be cute. Never mind that it was so big it almost choked him...it was cute for a second.
That's it! Thanksgiving may now happen...I'm ready.

Pumpkin carving
Today, we carved our pumpkin. We didn't go too fancy or artistic, but still made a cool looking pumpkin. And, by we, I mean Randy. Jacob was his helper but has the attention span of a 2 year old. My job was to take pictures.
Here, he looks like he is going to participate and is ready to get started.
He does watch Daddy get started.
And then was pretty much over it. He started dancing.
And playing with his water table.
But Randy did a fantastic job.
Jacob would come check on him every once in a while.
And even snapped a cute picture with my camera.
With or without help, Randy did a great job.
And Jacob did a great job posing with his pumpkin!
(I absolutely love this next picture).
We found a perfect spot for it on the porch and can't wait for it to get dark!
P.S. Be sure to read the other blog I posted today about the Harvest Festival yesterday (Titled More Halloween fun). I would hate for you to miss those cute pictures (and witty words).
P.P.S. Today is Jacob's 1/4 birthday but Randy doesn't even think we should celebrate 1/2 birthdays. So, I'm pretty sure he won't want to celebrate. But, in my mind, we are celebrating. So, Happy 2 1/4th birthday Jacob!! We love you!

More Halloween fun
Halloween festivities continued Friday night with Jacob decorating his little pumpkin with lots of stickers. He has a knack for flirting with little old women. So, while we were at the pumpkin patch, he had flirted his way to 2 "Pumpkin Patch Visitor" stickers and a full sheet of silly face stickers for pumpkins. He was very excited to get started.
Shelby really wanted to help, but settled for just keeping her eye on him.
I'm pretty sure you are supposed to choose a face and decorate your pumpkin. However, that's not how Jacob does it. Here is the final product (which, by the way, changes daily because he likes to peel them off).
And, if course, with all of the talk about "mouth", "nose", and "eyes", it was only a matter of time until the stickers went to his face.
And then Daddy's.
Then, on Saturday, we ventured to the Harvest Festival that our new neighborhood puts on. It wasn't huge but was fun for us and Jacob (and more than our old neighborhood did).
As much as he loves farm animals now, it was difficult to convince him to go hang out behind the picture below. He really wanted to name the animals...over and over again. But we did get him as a cow and a pig. (I probably should have cropped these pictures so you can't see Randy's hat, Jacob's hands or their feet, but I forgot.)
Probably his favorite part of the festival was riding the pony. He wasn't crazy about them last time he rode them (at the Houston Rodeo), but he hung on pretty well and rode them a few times. I still have a hard time picking my favorite pictures, so you get to see a lot of them.
He also ventured into the petting zoo. He hated this last time, but was better this time. Better as in he touched a donkey. But that was about it. At one point, the goats were cornering him and Dad had to rescue him!
Then we had our most traumatic moment of the day. Let's start with earlier in the day when we attended a birthday party at an inflatable place. He finally went on the biggest slide they have (probably 20 feet tall) and LOVED it. He did it about 15 times and I even videoed it to show Randy. From the petting zoo, he was already eyeing the inflatable slide (not quite as tall). So, we went over, took his shoes off and he climbed right up. We are not sure why, but then he had a meltdown and would not slide. All he would do is lay on his stomach and cry. So, I had to go rescue him. Let me tell you....the other kids were none too thrilled to move to the side and let the pregnant woman climb to the top. Then, when I got up there, I realized coming back down the ladder thing would be too hard so I had to make Jacob slide, and I had to slide myself. I'm pretty sure pregnant women should not do that. Anyway, here is the picture right before the meltdown.
And, as any good parents would do, we got him the one thing that can cure ANY meltdown...a "coke". Really, it was a Sprite but he doesn't care. He was immediately cured.
Once he was better, he went to play with Daddy.
And even wore his sunglasses (some). He calls sunglasses "sexies" so it's hilarious when he puts them on b/c he points to his face and says "JJ's sexies".
He did bounce some in the bounce house (without having a meltdown) and even tried some of the flips the bigger kids were doing.
I recently read a blog post about Moms that don't take pictures with their kids enough and about how we really should get in the picture more. So, I'm trying to do that. We did get a few cute pictures of the two of us. (By the way, if you have not read it, google The Mom Stays in The Picture blog and grab some tissues. It's great.)
We ended the festival with more pony rides and then headed home. Like I said, it wasn't huge but it was perfect for Jacob's age and we all had fun!
