Long time no post!

Sorry for not giving you all an update lately. I am still trying to get past my last post.
Anyhow, I thought I needed to put an update on all of us and just check in with you all.

We have not been up to a whole lot. Just keeping busy with Jake and those of you that know Jake know he just keeps going and going. But then when he sleeps he sleeps hard! He is a PLAY HARD, REST HARD kind of guy. I am not sure that will be a good thing or bad thing later down the road. He is changing everyday. His vocabulary is amazing and he talks up the walls....I wonder who he gets that from? Not me. haha. He probably has a 150 word vocabulary or more. Things that I didn't even know he knew he knows. The other day he was trying to get in my mom and dad's room and he comes to me "Mama, wheres Nana?" I said "In her room, go say knock, knock" He says "Nana lock it" I laughed.....It was locked and he was mad. He went to the door and said "Nana, you in there? Open it Door" We all laughed. He makes us laugh. When I hold him he tells me "It's heavy" I am like....uhhh, YOU ARE HEAVY. And he knows his name but he has started calling himself the baby "The baby wants cheese" "The baby wants his tennies on" "The baby this and that" It just goes on and on. He can count to 3 almost 4 sometimes. He still weighs 24 lbs and wears 12-18 month old clothes....He is excited to see all of the family for Thanksgiving. I told him we are going to Globe and he starts naming everyone in Globe. He also goes outside and points out everyone's cars. He knows my moms car, my dad's two trucks, my sisters car and then my car and Mike's truck. He has a great memory!
He is obsessed with wanting to "hod it" aka "hold it" He wants to hold everything himself and especially the dogs. And you can only imagine Lexi, she is already freaked out by kids just being close to her much less wanting to hold her. But she actually is starting to warm up to him so that is good. Jake also loves his bike. He is no fear when it comes to being on his bike. My dad made him a ramp in their backyard and he goes down it like nothing. He is definitely all about the outdoors. As soon as we are out to play he tells me to put his helmet on so he can get on his bike and just go.
And as for me and Mikey....well we are good just like we always are. He is amazing and I don't know what I would do without him. Life has been a bit crazy these last few months but overall we are just blessed to have each other and Jake. I can be a bit sensitive sometimes but he gets it....I love him and everything about him. I am going to just say he feels the same way...haha. Even if he doesn't think he can be sensitive (kidding about that.) Well I think that is enough filling in for now. Until the next post (which won't be long because I have a tag to complete)

Take care and Happy Thanksgiving!

Ohhhhh, and a few things I am thankful for:
*An amazing husband who is my ROCK!
*A healthy and happy child
*My family, the love, good health and blessings we have in our life with one another.
*A roof over our heads and food on the table, so many people do not have that right now and I pray things get better for everyone who is struggling
*Cars to get us to and from where we need to go
*Friends that are so awesome and just there for us when we need a pick me up! Special thanks to my girls (you know who you are!)
*As much as I hate this one. I am so thankful my grandfather is not suffering and is in a better place, I know I will see him again one day but it is hard to go the days without seeing him for now.
*Matierial things that I probably don't need but have.....I am so blessed to be able to get a few items I like to splurge on once in a while.

May everyone have items they are so thankful for, as I am. I know it is a rough time for a lot of people but we have to keep thinking of the good in it all. I know I have learned so much through this time of what our priorities are and what is truly important to us. Unfortunately, I am still learning but that is what makes me who I am! Love to you all!!!!
