The Haltom City Hillbilly

It has been over a month since I last blogged! Can you believe it?
I have been getting harassed by about 5 different people (how sad that only 5 people read my blog) about my lack of blogging. Today is December 1st - a whole new month - so I will start blogging again.
We will just forget about November...okay, maybe not...

In November:
1. Jacoby turned 10 months old on November 2nd.
2. We (Jeremy & I) were off from work the first week in November, and we rearranged bedrooms. Jaydon's old room now belongs to Jacoby & Jilian, and Jacoby's old room now belongs to Jaydon. We painted and set furniture up. It all looks AWESOME! We have not put the final details on yet, but once we do, I will upload some pictures. We will have everyone over sometime next year to see the changes, and to meet the new arrival.
3. Jaydon turned 6 years old on November 11th. (Veteran's Day) Happy Birthday to the best big brother on Earth. You are our little angel, and the best thing that happened to us in 2002. We couldn't have asked for a better boy!
4. We celebrated Jaydon's birthday at Main Event in Grapevine on November 15th.
5. Jaydon was the STAR student in his class the week of November 17th-21st, and again on November 24th & 25th. (Picture below)
6. My best friend from childhood and high school that I've known for 20 years now, Cristina, turned 30 on November 21st! (Oh gosh - that means that my 30th is next!) Happy Birthday, Stina!
7. On November 22nd, Jacoby took a couple of steps on his own. NOTHING major, but it was cute.
8. I had a sono on November 21st, and found out that Jilian Cate Rogers was doing very well. She is moving like crazy, too! I've only gained something like 6lbs. as of that date, (over half of which was baby) so I'm REALLY pounding on the calories these last 8 weeks. We'll see if Ms. Jilian comes out weighing more than both of her brothers!
9. Jaydon had a dentist appt. on November 25th, and the dentist crowned him with "perfect teeth". (You won't think that after seeing the pictures below...more details to follow.) The dentist is always SO impressed with how clean Jaydon's teeth are and how he has no signs of cavities. Jaydon is doing much better at the dentist, and actually allowed them to take all of his x-rays and put flouride on his teeth for the first time. He's growing up!
10. We celebrated Thanksgiving with Jeremy's family on November 27th. Good food and a nice time with family. Aba & Tia were in Miami for the holiday.

So you are now all caught up!
=================================
My poor little Jaydon is losing more teeth. He has already lost 3 bottom teeth, and now his top 2 front teeth are on the verge of falling out. We have tried to jiggle them out, but nothing is working. I know they will fall out on their own with time, but they are SO loose! In fact, his adult tooth is already halfway out behind one of the teeth. The problem is, we have pictures to take this weekend. (hopefully) Lets just say that with the way his mouth looks, we might as well use a cabin in Kentucky with a mountain as a backdrop, light up cigarettes, grow some mullets, roll up our sleeves, and name our children Bud and Sissy because his teeth look like Hillbilly Heaven! You'll see below...and the pictures don't EVEN do it justice.

I think that's it for today. It will take a while to upload the pictures that I want to upload, so I'm calling it quits. Oh - do y'all like my new background?
Thank you to Andrea for helping with that.

Talk to you tomorrow for Jacoby's 11-month update!
