..and now you know the rest of the story.

After the fourth of July, Jacob and I stayed in Green Pond for about another week, then returned to NC and have since been playing (i.e. dressing in daddy's clothes), visiting the library, and having family visit.

As a picture recap: Jacob adored Green Pond and all the popularity with family, kids on the beach, and essentially anyone that would look in his direction in response to his gibberish or delighted calls.

Lucky for us all, Jacob was again a trooper for the 11 hour car ride back to NC. With teething thrown into the mix of traveling early and long, being patient, and playing so hard the whole week up in GP, Jacob crashed on the couch about an hour after arriving in Raleigh.

Jaocb picked up Daniel's shirt and somehow managed to get it on. Perhaps there was a bit of daddy assistance. Made for some pretty funny pictures of how small Jacob really is...

Jacob's other cousin, Parker came to visit this past weekend!

JDP loved having Parker and his Aunt Tally here (as did everyone else). They were pretty funny together- laughing at the mischevious antics of the other.

But, Jacob wore Parker out. He literally played until he dropped- and it was hilarious.


We had the chance to get some professionals shots yesterday of the boys together...but they were quite sub-par as both boys felt smiles were unnecessary...Jacob smirked and Parker stuck out his tongue.

But they are cute.

And we love them!

After the not-so0great photo shoot, they got some pool time. As you can see, Jacob was still reserving his smile. Go figure.

Though he's getting feeling blah what with getting his first molar and a cold, Jacob still wanted to break it down. So, as he's been doing for the past week, he turned on our clock radio and went to it. As a side-note, in this segment the country station is a result of it being the only station not on a commercial break; however, Jacob does tend to dance and sing most with country crooning.
