And the winner is...

WNC Parent Magazine

Get your own - Open publication

I posted this magazine primarily for my own needs - to be able to access it quickly and to remember to look at it each month. Funny thing is, I didn't know it at the time because I hadn't taken the time to look through the entire magazine, but our good friends, Leslie & Dave's son, Carter, is featured in it! I believe I saw it on page 33 online, but it may be page 31 in hard copy. He's the baby looking in the mirror.

Looks like he's destined to become famous!

Trip to great grandma's

Here are a few pics of our recent visit to TN. The back of the Explorer was packed full of everything we took for Jacob! Who would have guessed it would have taken that long to pack just to go over for a few hours! Whew! Jacob's great grandmother, Little Mammie, enjoyed getting to see him again.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

We took Jacob to his first baseball game on Labor Day. Bill got some tickets through work to go see the Asheville Tourists. Jacob seemed to thoroughly enjoy himself even if he didn't fully understand what he was there for. He was mesmerized by watching all of the people around him and even fell asleep during the game...too much excitement! He danced to all the song clips and only stirred a little when the girls behind us let out their ear piercing screams. Sorry, no pictures of his dance efforts. What happens at McCormick Field stays at McCormick Field! :) I'm sure it won't be long before we're watching him play ball! Bill and Alan capped off the week by going back for Friday's playoff game. Mom and baby stayed home for this one.

Shopping

Jacob took his first ride in a shopping cart this evening. Did I hear someone guess where....Lowe's ?!? You bet! He seemed to really enjoy being up and able to see things. His eyes were worn out trying to look at everything as we passed through the isles. Makes for a very tired boy! He's also been sitting for periods of time in the high chairs at restaurants and does quite well unless he's hungry or tired.

Bill is just about to complete yet another week of vacation and what has he been doing in his spare time? Painting! This time it's the front porch rails and spindles. Gradually, the place is starting to take shape here once again. Of course he's stayed busy with lots of other odd jobs around the house and me, well, I do good just to do what has to be done, tend to Jacob and get enough shut eye to do it all over again! One of these days, I'll see if I can't bribe Bill to share some of his own thoughts on here.

We've got the Mountain State Fair in town and plan on taking Jacob to see the sights and animals. He's really noticing things now and will probably enjoy it.
