In prayer for the Jacobs Family

The week of September 26th (and still today) many prayers were lifted due to the loss of baby Chase at 34 weeks in utero. A large number of people released blue balloons in his memory on October 3rd. Our prayers remain with this dear family as they continue to live through this very difficult time.

Each day we are thankful for this baby girl!! Dear God, please hold the Jacobs family today and forever more.

5 Months and counting...

Well I am behind again but wanted to get these pics posted. Makena turned 5 months old this month. She continues to grow faster than we can keep up. We don't have an official scale but I suspect at this point she was around 16.5 pounds. We started oatmeal cereal this month. The first time she wasn't a big fan. Most of it ended up down the front of her. It only took a few more times for her to figure out it was pretty good stuff. (Tonight she actually ate a little avacado. She still wrinkled her nose at it but was curious.) Besides new food, she has definitely become a fan of being on her belly. She immediately flips onto her belly any time she is put down. She can get on her hands and knees for a second or two but doesn't seem to know what to do once she is there. More practice is improving her ability to sit up but is not doing it without some close supervision at this point. She is not quite steady yet. Of course, she is talking and cooing even more.

SHE LOVES HER DADDY! Any time Don walks into the room and she hears his voice she can't help but giggle. She lights up at the sight of him. Is this how little girls get their daddy's wrapped around their finger?!? I think it might be working. :)

She thinks Riggins is absolutely the funniest thing on earth. She chuckles so loud when Riggins runs through the house. They are going to be good friends one day.

Here is a picture from one of ther oatmeal sessions. She loves it all over her face.

On October 10 we went to College Station for the Aggie game. Makena and I ended up not actually going to the game. It was cool and raining so I decided it best to keep her inside. We went to the mall for a little while and then met Brad, Michael and Don at Rosa's after the game was over. Here are some pics from the ride home. She was tuckered out!
