Well, a few months ago when we went to see the Dentist, Dr. Yarbrough he told Jake that when he was ready to stop sucking his thumb to call him and he had a whole program for him to do and in the end Dr. Y would come to our home and give Jacob a surprise. He isn't always sucking his thumb, mainly when he has his Teddy, "to smell Teddy" he says is why he does it. He wraps his tail around his fingers in a very specific way, puts his thumb in his mouth and has Teddy's tail up by his nose. Strange what kids do but it's pretty sweet. Anyway, Dr. Y had noticed what the call a cross bite forming on Jacob due to his thumb. No biggie but not a great thing either. Well, we've asked him here and there about stopping and he always says "tomorrow". The other day, he told me "Mommy, can we call Dr. Y and tell him I'm done sucking my thumb?" He's mentioned this before only to see about the surprise so I kind of let it go but then he asked again and again and said he was really ready!! So, we have a call into Dr. Y and we'll see what happens. He's actually been doing pretty well these last few days. I've seen him catch himself and pull his thumb out of his mouth and he said he can just hold Teddy's tail up to smell it without his thumb! We'll see but this could be a big step!!

Good Times at the Lake
A few weeks ago Jeff and Jacob went to the lake with our great friends, Russ, Joy and their three boys. What a great time they had!! Why you ask did Chase and I not go? At this point in time Chase is an absolute terror who is into EVERYTHING and for some reason, having a one year old like that on a boat just didn't appease to me. So, we stayed home and did some things around the house. Maybe next year we can join in the fun and what fun they had as evident in the pictures!
