I am still trying to figure out how to post video to our blog, but for now, this will have to work!
Saturday while Josh was mowing the grass, I decided to put Jacob in his bumpo seat and put the tray on it so he could play with his toys. Needless to say he was laughing like crazy! Of course, when I pick up the video camera, he stops, but you can see the aftermath.....the hiccups!! Jacob has been getting the hiccups ever since I was pregnant with him! Here is a short video clip of him...you can hear his hiccups and he talks a little...too into his toys!

Hope you all are well!

Laughing day
Well, today has been a day full of laughs!! Jacob has been laughing so much!! Josh can really get him to laugh loud! He gets the hiccups sometimes, but it is so much fun to watch him laugh!!
Here are a few pictures from today!
One of Josh's co-workers gave him this onezie for Jacob. It is TOO funny!
Also, this weekend Jacob starting pushing up on his arms while on his stomach! All that tummy time helped!

Cereal and sleeping through the night
Well, with Jacob being 4 months old now (time surely flies!) we decided to start him on some cereal and fruits. We decided that a little help from Mimi would help us with getting Jacob to eat. So, while we were in Gulf Shores, we started feeding Jacob cereal. After about 2 feedings, he had the hang of it!! YEA! A few days later we started feeding him bananas and he loved those too! He now opens his mouth really well and finishes every bit we have fixed for him!
I love this picture....he has this little smile like he is up to something!
I am convinced that Jacob has an internal alarm clock that wakes him up everynight between 2:30 am and 3:30 am. Oh what Josh and I would do for him to sleep all night! We got back from Gulf Shores Sunday night and decided that would be his first night to sleep in his crib in his room! We set up the monitors and put him to sleep! He seemed to like his own room! Well, little did we know that Monday night, he would sleep through the night for the first time! YEA! I woke up that night about 2:30 am knowing that in the next hour he would wake up to eat. I woke up again at 4:00 am and he was still asleep! He ended up sleeping until a little after 6 am!
Tuesday night he woke up again at 3:30 am and last night he woke up at 4 am, but we think that was because his diaper had leaked. One of my nicknames for him is "pee pee man" because he does that SOOO much! We have been trying different types of diapers in hopes that one will be "more absorbant" while Jacob is sleeping! No luck yet!
But, we are hoping that he is almost to sleeping through the night! We think he likes being in his room, and really likes his crib! My, how he is growing up already!

Beach trip
As many of you know...Josh and I love the beach! We got married there! There is nothing like sitting on the beach and listening to the waves crash! It always brings back so many great memories! Summer beach trips with the Haneys, Gilchrists, and the Thompson/McKinnleys! Remember, Beach or BUST! :) It also brings up a great trip to see my Aunt and Uncle in Ocean Springs, MS one year. My uncle had taken us to an island on the sailboat and after getting there all the cousins played for hours on the beach!
Anyway, we have been looking forward to taking Jacob to the beach for the first time! And about this time every year, Josh and I get the beach itch! So, we decided to spend our first 4th of July in Gulf Shores with my mom and Steve. We loaded up our car first thing Saturday morning (to the tune of Josh saying we needed a bigger car because we had so much stuff) and drove to Birmingham to stay with Ryan and Emily for the night! We were so excited that Dad, Judy, Jackson and Joni came over too and we cooked out! It was tons of fun!! Ryan and Emily had just bought the Rockband game and we played it from 2-9:00!! Jacob even played the drums with Emily!
We loaded up Sunday morning and headed to Gulf Shores! Jacob was really good and slept/played the whole trip. But we were glad to be able to get out of the car! 2 days and 8 hours is a LONG time!!
We took Jacob to the beach! He seemed to like it! He loves the water in his bath so we thought he would like it! Only once did he get upset when a wave crashed by him. I think it startled him!
Here is Jacob walking in the sand!
We had a blast at the beach! Mimi (my mom) bought Jacob a great float! He loves the color red right now so it was perfect! He was quite the little swimmer! We had a great week in Gulf Shores and can't wait to go back in September!

Family of 3
Well, it has been more than a while since we posted! A lot has gone on since then! My sweet sister and brother in law started their own blog, so I figured I should get on the bandwagon! With our little man growing so quickly! It is hard to keep up so maybe this will help!
Here is a little catch up! Jacob Tyler Morris was born on March 1, 2008 at 7:58pm! I was in labor for 24 hours, but despite all of my worries, I was blessed with a great labor and delivery! Dr Bannister was very paitent with me and I am so thankful for that!
The first few days were long and had many ups and downs! Thank goodness my God sent mom was here to help! We were so fortunate to have her help us with not only Jacob and dealing with a newborn, but also help us with the day to day house duties (cleaning, washing the 100 burp cloths we used, cooking and much more!). I cried the day she left! I had such mixed emotions, sad to see her leave, excited to be with Jacob and scared all at the same time!
My 6 weeks maternity leave flew by! I was getting stir crazy about week 4/5. We took a long weekend trip to Birmingham when Jacob was 4 weeks old. He slept the whole way!
I started back to work on Tuesday, April 15th. Josh and I both had Monday off, so we decided to take Jacob to "school" that day for a half day. We not only wanted to get him used to it, but us as well! It would also give us a little time to spend together. We took Jacob in to school and to my surprise, Josh was the one who was upset not me! To say the least, Jacob loves school. We are blessed to have a very sweet lady, Ms. Roberta there who adores Jacob and he adores her! He just smiles when she talks to him! She even came and babysat for us so Josh could take me to dinner for my birthday. I never worry about him at school, but I do miss him dearly during the day and can't wait to see him each afternoon!
Jacob is growing so fast and makes me smile each day! He is a happy guy but from what they tell us at school, he has a temper. We are working on that!
I am excited to share our world here in Memphis with everyone! I promise I will post more often!

Baby Morris ultrasound
Well, I know this is a little old, but here is the best picture from our ultrasound! We were so excited! It is so cool to see his spine and profile! We think he had his hand up by his mouth so it makes his face look funny. I wish eveyone could have been in the room when they told us it was a boy! Josh was too funny! I think he had worked himself up so much about it that it was such a relief just to know. He had a permanent smile on his face for days after that!
These days the little man is just kicking around and growing! it is weird to feel him kick, but so neat at the same time. It is hard for me to image sometimes that there is a little human inside of me! I love it when he kicks (except when he is on my bladder)!
We are starting to move things out of the nursery now and cleaning that room out. We are going to use the downstairs guest room as the nursery so we won't have to go up and down stairs so much! It is right by the kitchen too so I am sure we will like that at 2 am in the morning! I hope to start shopping for bed stuff this weekend. Too much to choose from! We already have a crib picked out.
We went on our hospital tour last week. It was neat. It made me feel a little better. I am not too nervous about being a mom, my mom prepared me well. I was a little nervous about being pregnant, but that has been great so far. BUT I am absolutly terrified of birth! It helped me see where I would be going so it would be a little familiar when we go. Josh was pretty excited and loved looking into the nursery where the babies were.
