So I don't know how to get everything in my life done right now so here are some pics from the last 2 months! AGH! And I am currently sleep deprived so I didn't get this in the correct order. They are from the most current (up top) to the oldest (down below). So as Tracy says, "Let's Tarantino it back, y'all"

Patricia with the boy when she was here for her (and part of my) Spring Break

Mommy and Daddy think it is funny to put stickers on our child and then take pictures
. . .think Baby Breathe Right Strips

Tracy visited over her Spring Break, too. Jacob loved both my sisters!

Fat guy face

Tongue!

Our little fighter

Auntie Em gave Jacob bunny pjs for Christmas in The Christmas Story style!

My dad and Jacob taking a snooze when my parents came in February!

Just after learning how to smile!

The introduction to his future wife, Eleanor

(daughter of one of my best friends, Joceline)

And that's a wrap. Easter pics coming as soon as I upload them.
