Dad's Comments from Chillicothe

We all had a good time in Chillicothe last weekend. Jacoby was so anxious to arrive that he cried/screamed all the way from Cameron to Chillicothe on the way there. Luckily grandma and grandpa provided some good entertainment for him when we arrived, so he was a happy baby the entire weekend. Dad and I rode mountain bikes on Saturday afternoon, and Clint and I played tennis on Saturday night. Jacoby didn't get to ride bikes or play tennis, but I'm sure he had a good time w/ mom and grandma. It was really nice to be home and hanging out with the Keith men. Grandma and grandpa were the highest bidders for the Vo-Tech house, so they'll break ground on "the property" in the next couple of weeks. We took a picture where the house will be on Sunday, and in one year we'll take a picture in front of the completed home. Everyone is really excited. Jacoby was really sad when we left. In fact, he cried/screamed all the way from Cameron to Platte City.

Weekend in Chillicothe

We spent last weekend in Chillicothe to celebrate David and Shirley Pyrtle's 55th Anniversary. It was SUCH a special weekend, but Zach is going to write a post about it, so I am just uploading pictures. Jacoby is laughing, rolling around a ton, and will smile at me just because I smiled at him first. I have been thinking a lot about how I only have a month left to stay home with him before school, and the next time he won't be a baby anymore, so I am actually enjoying getting up with him at night (usually...I am sometimes too groggy to even realize I got up). I am taking 2 grad classes right now, so I am anxious for July to be over so I can really take in the last several days with my boy.

We Have a Giggler

Jacoby had his first laugh a long time ago, but we really didn't hardly hear it again after that. On the 4th of July, Jacoby met Starsky, the sheltie. He LOVED it! It was the first time we heard him laughing a lot. Unfortunately, I had my camera but not my video camera, so I had to take three short videos. He was probably laughing and screaming for 15 minutes or so before we finally had to leave. The next day, we were playing with a pinwheel, and he was doing the same thing. Today, Laura Hall's dog was jumping in the air, and would lick Jacoby's hand each time he got a couple of feet off the ground, and Jacoby was really entertained by that as well. I think hearing your baby laugh is the best feeling in the world...or maybe not. I can't narrow it down enough to pick a favorite feeling from being a mom.
