Mini-Man takes a Mini-Vacation

On Wednesday we packed up the little guy and took a little trip down to Jekyll Island for a few days. Jet was so excited to see his Aunt Kelly's sister, (Aunt Michelle) get married. It was a beautiful wedding! Here are some pics from the weekend:

I'm gonna stay awake the whole car ride....

okay maybe I'll just take a little nap...

Our hotel

Hello palm trees! A definite throw-back to summer. Very nice weather a neat little break from the newly cold weather back home. It's okay Fall - i still love you.

Loved the spanish moss

And who is this little tree gnome?

He's so cute!

I think i'll take him home with me.

Grandma what big eyes you have.

The wedding was perfect! Perfect weather, perfect backdrop, perfect company. :)

Uncle Nate's got my tree gnome!

Nina and Papi in their formal attire. :) It was a fancy event. We all played dress up.

I get my good sense of style from Daddy.

Happy Little Family

Mommy's Handsome Man

I had the sweetest little escort.

Sharing kisses. Jet is a little sloppy in his kisses. :) lol.

Such a fun time. Worth every Penny. :) lol.

What do you mean I'm too young for cake?!

This cracked me up when he looked up at me for the picture. Such a smart cookie.

His Aunt Kelly and I had to take turns with our handsome date. He sure is a ladies man.

(more pictures of the wedding itself to come - David actually took a lot of great ones but we are waiting on the OK from the bride to post them. She has plans to debut them at her in-town reception in a few weeks.)

We also visited the beach...

So cool in those shades! And Jet looks pretty good too. lol. I'm turning into my husband!
I've heard babies don' like sand...and I can say Jet supports this theory. :)
Precious little toes.

I remember always writing my name in the sand + the boy I like....now I just write the boy I like. :)

And we got to stop by one of our favorite cities - Savannah! - on the way home...

The newlyweds. :)
Jet likes the tugboats.
And he really wants a bite of that hot dog.
Daddy loves his boy.
So does Michelle.
And Jet loves this bird. It chirps. What else could you ask for?
Well - we made it home! What an adventure with the Jet-Man. He is definitely a well traveled and cultured baby I think. What do you think?

Lots of Brains

Yesterday our little guy had the CT scan our neurosurgeon had ordered 3 weeks ago at clinic and we are happy to say all is well with our Jet! Such an answer to prayer. The scan confirmed there is still more fluid than normal, but nothing we didn't know about already. The doctor cracked us up when he said "he's got alot of brains. that's good." :) Which translates, Jet has good brain tissue - it's not being overrun with fluid build up or anything and he has good fluid in the right places as well (which could be a concern if the good fluid were to disappear.) He also commented on how alert and cognitive Jet is (which is a sign that the fluid is not putting any pressure on his brain as of now). Best of all, no shunt yet! It was quite the relief after a nervous few weeks. So even though his head grew quickly - both the ultrasound and CT showed no real change which is what we wanted. :) The doc wants us back in 6 weeks to measure his head and keep an eye on things of course. But overall it was a positive experience. And Jet was really good and so precious when they papoosed him and ran the CT over him. He did SO good. Such a sweetie it made me laugh to see him so cute and bright eyed sucking his paci and then teary to think "my little baby is having a CT scan"- he looked so little and innocent and perfect. Such a little angel. Mommy loves you baby! Thank you all for your prayers. And thank you God for this good news.

Pumpkin Post

Saturday was a day I had been looking forward to for a long time - Jet's first trip to the pumpkin patch. Nothing says "it's fall!" like a field of pumpkins on a brisk October morning. I was so excited to take Jet to one of my favorite fall experiences. So after his lunch we bundled up (it was in the 40's!) and drove out to Berry Patch Farms. It was perfect because he got his nap on the way there and was happy as a lil' jack o' lantern when we got there. :)

Daddy can I drive?

This goat looks like it's yelling at me.

Silly Baby!

There's so much to see!

Crack me up!

My favorite grin.

ooh...i found a snack.

Can you get over this HAT!? lol.

Hi Daddy!

My boys.

It's so chilly!

Cutest little punkin' in the patch!

How will we choose one?

Playing with Mommy.

"Fall"-ing for this little boy.

Sleepy baby.

A look at our surroundings on our way home. :) Love the ghosts.

Downtown Woodstock is very charming. I want to go back when it's not so cold...

and Baby Jet is not so sleepy. Night Night BJ.

Just Jet

Why hello everyone.

Do you like my jeans?

Be honest...

Do they make my cheeks look chubby?

What about if I turn to the side like this?

Or maybe this side?

Hey - I can see outside!

Now what happened? How did I get here?

Mommy really - I'm not a bit sleepy.

zzzzzzz.....
