Brush'a-Brush'a-Brush'a

Now that Jagger has almost 4 whole teeth, I decided it was time to start teaching him how to brush them...

he's a quick study!  (Notice: his finger is actually INSIDE the "toothbrush" like it is supposed to be)

A little Arkansas dirt

Was smitten with his cousin Edy (8 months his senior), she however, was not too interested in his charms...

he even made her cry a few times, but he of course tried to make it up to her the best he could.

He got in the flower pots, and (FINALLY) got to try a little dirt for the first time,

yes, he loved it! Mommy was excited.

He gots lots and lots of his favorite things; LOVE and attention. 
From Grandmommy and Grandpa:

Uncle Caleb and Aunt Hannah:

Uncle Josh:

and Uncle Luke and Aunt Caitlan:

He even developed a new friend (the Grandparents new cat, aptly named "Meow-meow", by cousin Edy):

After 6 months of not visiting, we had an amazing time catching up.
We were all in for exciting news to discover that Aunt Hannah is due with baby #2 in Nov! Of course she is as beautiful as ever and already in the second trimester and you can barely tell! We can't wait for another little Hall!

The countdown begins (7 weeks) until Florida. The entire Smith clan (Aud, Noah and Abel included) will all be together for the first time in over a year. 
Can't wait!

First Mother's Day

Every day is Mother's day for me.  I am spoiled by this amazing little boy!

Sunday Brunch

Last weekend Jacob was home (a rare treat), and we were able to grab some delectable brunch with friends. It was noisy, busy, and booming; but I guess in the comfort of your daddy's arms you can sleep through anything!
