Visiting the Riverwalk

Jacie has lived in San Antonio for a couple of months but hadn't yet made it to the Riverwalk. Mama, Daddy, and TeeTee took her down there and met up with Uncle Brian & family to ride the boat through the canal. Jacie was all ready to go out on the the town in her new outfit from Aunt Keem!!! She had a great time on the boat. She wasn't scared at all-- it really seemed to relax her!!! She just sat back and soaked it all in!!! We're sure she learned all kinds of San Antonio history that evening!

Time with Family

Jacie got to see some more family members the weekend before her birthday. Jacie relaxed and hung out with Harley (even decorating her with beaded necklaces) while Mama got the house ready. Then she enjoyed seeing her Uncle Brian, Aunt Angela, cousins Tyler and Payton, and Grandma TeeTee!!!

Nightly Routine

Daddy and I try to keep up our teamwork and do the bedtime routine together each night. It's a great way for Daddy to get in some quality time with Jacie when he gets home. Jacie likes it when Daddy does the "blow dry" after her bath, we let her choose who reads each of the books before bed, and then Daddy does the bedtime prayer. Jacie has gotten so cute repeating after him and even predicting what he's going to say. We're hoping our routine is going to ease the pain of paci D-Day, when we're officially done with it!!! (COMING SOON!!!) We've already gotten rid of all her paci's except one, and she hasn't even mentioned it!!! Jon keeps putting in his two cents and suggesting that I get rid of the last one when he's out of town, but I'd hate for him to miss the momentous occasion.

Trip to H2

Jacie and Mama met up with Daddy and Harley at the ranch for the first time since our move. The second I told her where they had gone, she insisted that we go "catch" them, and then she went into a huge rant of sense and nonsense frequently throwing in the words, "Jeep" and "Cows." I think she was ready to get away!!! She loved every minute of it, and she was happy to see Nana and Popa who met us there for a day and brought her a t-ball game!

Hanging Out

Jacie (and Mama) liked having Daddy home on the Monday after the 4th, but our usual routine of Toddler Time at the library and then fun on the playground wasn't an option since the library was closed. Daddy agreed we could go to the playground anyway, so Jacie had fun doing that! Later in the week she learned what every child must know-- beaters usually taste good when licked!!! She got to try some cake batter off the beaters when Mama was done. Then she spent more time relaxing around the house before getting to hang out with her friend Sadie that Friday!!!

4th of July

For the 4th of July, Mama was determined to find a parade for Jacie to see. We were disappointed that we ended up at a parade that was "participatory" rather than planned and presented. Oh well!!!! Jacie had fun anyway!!! We let her swim and dig into some watermelon that evening, and then that night we went to buy some sparklers, which we found that Jacie liked much better when they WEREN'T lit. We watched some professional fireworks out in Schertz, and Jacie was a little nervous, but when Daddy let her lean into him she actually seemed to enjoy them!!!

Nana & Popa's Visit

Jacie got a visit from her Nana and Popa at her new home in San Antonio the weekend of the 4th of July. She enjoyed getting to see them and their dogs, Miles and Murphy.
