Sister Grandma Jill



Two weeks ago, Monday, we had the privilege of taking Matt's mom to the airport to send her off on her mission to Melbourne, Australia. Because only Eric and Julia were able to come with us, we felt we should let the rest of you Jacobs see what it was like. (P.S. Mom said we got to take her to the airport because we are her favorite!)


On our way from Heidi's house to the airport. I believe that car in front of us is Eric and Julia's new Santa Fe. Maybe if you squint really hard you can see it.



Sister Jacob!!




Her driver.




Beckett saying Goodbye to Grandma. He laughed the whole time.




Anabelle is going to miss Grandma too.




Eric and Julia.



Poor Eric. You can see that he is confidently thinking he is Mom's favorite. It is so sad how deluded he really is.





Matt unfortunately is mistaken as well. (Although I am sure he is the runner up)






Ahhh! Here is Mom's real favorite. My twin. We will finish each other's sentences just as well when she gets back.



Once Mom was safely in the airport, where did we go to celebrate? A bar!!! No, just kidding. We went to the Pie Pizzeria. Matt and Eric got this Greek pizza, which wasn't too bad. Julia and I got a Ham and Pineapple pizza (aka Hawaiian pizza). It was absolutely delicious.

Promised Videos and Pictures

Here is the video I promised you guys:




Here are some cute pictures too. (Only the first one is of her walking)



I think Matt is going to have a hard time with this one wanting a cell phone too early.




Maybe this one too.






Babyzilla distroys the train station!!! Look out!!!

Walking!!

I am going to call it official. Anabelle is walking! She has been walking to everything today. She doesn't make it all of the time, but she is choosing to walk first rather than crawl. She has been taking lots of steps whenever we have coaxed her to walk before, but when it came to getting around, she wouldn't be too adventurous and just crawl everywhere . Today, though, she has been walking first and then crawls after she falls down. Plus she is walking further than before. I think it is safe to say she is walking. Yay!!! It's also sad that my little girl is growing up. Scary too, because the two of them can really gang up on me now. Seriously though, my mom said the other day at a family get together, when we were trying to get Belle to walk to everybody, that we were witnessing a miracle in the making, and that is very true. It is a miracle that she can walk and become more independant. She wants to feed herself now too. She is very different from Beckett. A new season in our life has begun. Wish Matt and I luck!








p.s. These videos were taken last month. Sorry they are so dark. It was at night and we don't have the best lighting in our living room. They are all I have right now of her walking, but I will post more pictures and videos later.
