Princess Walker aka Percy Gets to Lick Magdalene's Toes

 Hi, my name is Percy.  And I can't understand why my sister gets all the fun toys....Could someone please explain this to me?  Brenda? 

Could I please play with your walker?

"Oh boy, Percy is coming to lick my toes!"

"Get away, get out Percy!  You're not allowed in the living room!"

Napping on Mommy and Daddy's Bed

Magdalene looks so content and peaceful so I had to take some shots.  She has the prettiest hands too.  I hope she plays the piano one day!  Lazy Saturday mornings....I love them!

A Year Ago

It's funny to remember what you were doing about a year so I was just remembering when I first found out I was carrying our precious baby, Magdalene.  It was a few days ago exactly when I first told Jordan and our family and friends.  What a joyous moment it was for us!  We were so excited to meet her and now our little baby is growing so fast.  She's about three and a half months old!!!  I know that my family isn't watching her grow so I wanted to share a few things you're not able to see because of distance. 

1.  Magdalene talks really loud!  Wow, she has a voice.  I think she's trying to imitate me when I constantly sing to her.  I think I just about sing more than actually speak to her.  It's way more fun!  Her favorite prayer is "Hail Mary", and she smiles every time she hears Holy Mary. 

2.  She absolutely loves the Twinkle Star Helena gave her.  I play it for her almost every time she gets her diaper changed.  Magdalene loves staring at it and hearing her tia's voice. 

3.  I feel like it's Christmas everytime she gets a package.  I love all the cute things you all send her.  We really appreciate it!

4.  She loves to talk like her mommy! 

5.  And I think she's going to be a thumbsucker like her mommy!  But I won't put hot sauce on her thumb like Pai did to me!!!   By the way, sorry my dental bills cost so much.

Well, that's the five top things I wanted to share with you, family and friends.

**I am comforted to know that although I am far from you now, it will not be forever.  It is more important to be with each other one day in Heaven. 

I have learned a great deal from Fr. Henry La Praz.  "To accept- to offer - to thank."
I accept that we are far apart, and I offer up that sacrifice to God.  I thank Him for the opportunity to make sacrifices for Him since He sacrificed His only Son.

Here is our baby girl rolling and having a good time!

Magdalene Maria Jacobs is getting so big!   Today I was looking at her little stomach and notice it's starting to come out more.  She's getting a little belly!!  We had our first Applebee's Lunch time with the ladies:  Great Grandma Mary, Grandma Marian, and normally Robin would be with us, but she had to work today.  She was a good little girl and allowed her mommy to eat some food. 

Just in case anyone is wondering what size she's wearing now, well she will move into 6 - 9 month onesies really soon.  She's still taking some 0-3 month pants, but overall she's in 3-6 months.  Sometimes she only gets to wear an outfit once, because she has so many clothes!   I love figuring out what to put on her everyday.  We don't have anywhere to go, but we still have fun picking out an outfit. 

Magdalene has  been sleeping through the nights sometimes.  She hasn't done it consistently yet.  I hope she does sometime soon!  We're really looking forward to Thanksgiving!  An event to dress up for!  I do miss spending the holidays with my family though....

I hope to see you all very soon.  You are always welcomed in Iowa.   Love you and miss you.  You are always in my thoughts and prayers. 

P.S.  I highly recommend a book I just finished reading.  It's called For the Love of Mothers.  I'll write about it in the next entry. 

Magdalene's Birthday!

Hi family and friends!  I thought you would like to see this video, and I hope to upload more soon!  Love and miss you!

And It Is Better!

Hello family and friends!

Yes, 2010 is much better!  Jordan and I are expecting our first child in September!!!  Jordan finally had the chance to feel the baby kick for the first time last Saturday.  I will never forget the look on his face.  He placed his hand on my belly, and suddenly, KICK!  His eyes got really big and he smiled.  Priceless.  I will have to update the next post with the most current picture of my growing belly, but for now I will post a picture of the baby at six months (one month ago).  Love you all.
