baby belly pics coming soon.....

hey everyone...im not ignoring certain people's request *ahem*lisa:) jake has been very sick for the past 4 days and that has kinda slowed my blog updates:) i have pics and pregnancy/jake updates to post just as soon as i can help him get well. whew! you all can be praying for me though, i'm so tired and feel like i'm battling hour by hour to be cheerful and not angry(irritated) by whininess and meltdowns from jake. 4 days is a loooong time.

So, I promise, i will post soon:).........

Cooking with my pirate

Here is some pics of Jake baking a cake with me. We had gotten in from playing in our new pop-up pool ( it's like a baby pool on steroids) and started dinner. That is why he is wearing his pirate towel pullover. By the way...when he is determined to wear that thing...it can stay on ALL DAY...he even wore it for nap time the other day...still damp and all!!!!
As you can tell....the cake mix was a hit! no worries...there was no raw eggs in this batter:) He kept saying ''mmmm good, yay!'' as he licked the spoons.

Vaccine info help!

Does any of my readers know of a good website with a list of the first 2 years of vaccines for children and the ingredients they contain? I have found a few websites but have been a little confused on terminology of the ingredients. Any websites that are a little clearer would be helpful. Mainly looking for mercury and aborted fetal anything in them. I know some of you have taken the time to do a lot of research in this area....thanks!!!!

We might have some future trouble....

.....sharing the baby equipment with baby Seth! Oh, and yes, people, we have finally come upon a name for our son to be little guy. Unless we change at the last minute, his name will be Seth Jameson Hasty.

Jakes first wheels

Vacation Pics

Vacation

We just got back from spending 11 wonderful days at Myrtle Beach! We are blessed every year by my sister-in-law to stay for free at their HUGE beach house. We had our dear friends Doug and Kristin and their 3 girls stay with us for 3 days and were joined by an overnight visit from the Pennell's mid week, with James parents coming down the end of the week....whew! We never got bored. In an effort not to sound like a ''stepford blogger''(stolen from erin:) ) I must confess the beginning of the week was a little rough,seeing how my son wanted no part of being around water!!!! Guess he didn't fully understand that is WHY you go to the beach!!!! After working through some serious ''how can you do this to me on my vacation''complaining, I was yet again reminded that God does not stop growing us into His image on vacation, which of course means major pruning of my idols of comfort and ease. But God was so kind and wonderful to give us some great family memories while easing Jake into getting comfortable with the water. I am so pleased to say that on the fourth day there, something clicked.......and he began to LOVE the water!!!! He is a little hesitant to get in the ocean, but will play well in the sand. He mostly loved the pool. He will now go under water without even flinching and kick and play ball etc. He still prefers me to hold him but hey, that's fine by me:) He even went down the slide with james! I was hopeing he would come to love it since he loves bath time so much....even when I splash his face with water (we have never avoided getting water in his face at bath time in hopes he would get used to it) and I can say that really has helped. So from then on, the hasty family vacation was almost perfect, I mean really...no car accidents or major hurricanes or even bad attitudes from any one of us!!!!James and I even got to go out on a date when his parents came. That was one of the highlights for me, we ate dinner at a restaurant on the beach, talked a lot and watched a jet ski race that was going on. I so love it when I get to give james my FULL attention over a good meal from time to time:)
Now that I have more than likely bored you readers to tears, since I know most of my blog readers only want the pics...here ya go!!!!!

More from playgroup

I love the picture where jake is wanting me to smell the flower:) That is his new ''sniff it mommy'' face. He already knows how to treat a lady, if he sees flowers anywhere, he picks them and gives them to me with his smell it face.....ahhhhh melts my heart:)

Back from Vacation......

I am trying to play catch up on the last few weeks.....so here is Jake and his friends visiting the Elliott's and their animals for playgroup. They had a great time and Cheryl and her girls were so incredible hospitable and welcoming to all of us!
