Hola!

Well well well, looks who's back blogging and it hasn't been a whole month this time! What do ya think of the new look? I thought my blog was needing a change.

So, this is pretty funny. Jayda is laying here on my chest right now while I'm typing. It's quite interesting trying to type with a baby laying on you, let me tell you. I would of put her down but she has been extra fussy today, I think her teeth have been hurting her. I feel so bad for her. I wish I could do something to make her pain go away, but I know it's just going to be like this for a while. I think the teething rings would work well if she was a bit bigger, but her little mouth is so small they barely fit. Oh well, I guess my fingers and her little fists will have to work for now!

So, I heard today on the news that the Bumbo seats are being recalled! Crazy huh? For those of you who don't know what a Bumbo is...it's just a little seat for babies and toddlers to sit in and it keeps them upright before they have the strength to sit up on their own. I have taken tons of pictures of Jayda in her bumbo that are posted on photobucket. Anyways, they had a number to call on the news so I called it and they basically said that people are using them incorrectly and that they have new warning stickers that you can order. I was like, great thanks, don't think I need the stickers. I looked it up online and apparently babies have fallen out of the seats and been severly injured. They were saying not to put the seats up on an elevated surface. Sooo, I guess I won't be putting Jayda up on the kitchen table to eat with us or up on the counter while I cook anymore! It just kinda stinks now because that means I can only put her on the floor when she's in the bumbo, not cool. Oh well, I definitley wouldn't want her falling out of it, how awful that would be!

Lets see, what else is going on with us? Jacob is winding down his quarter and finals will start a week from this Saturday. So that is no bueno! I guess it couldn't really get any worse than it is now though since he's been in practice court all quarter and basically been studying like he has a final every day anyway! I am so excited for him to be done on Nov. 9th because that means we're coming home to the big town of Hville! Yay! We're so ready to go somewhere! We will be having a birthday party for Jacob's dad on Saturday and having a birthday lunch on Sunday for my dad. I'm just excited to get out of Waco for a little while and to see all of our family. Jacob's oldest brother and his family still have not met Jayda yet, so that will be great to see them. Well, I think that's all for now. Don't forget to check outJayda pics at www.photobucket.com and search for "aubreepaschal", I've got some cute ones up! Later y'all!

Ughhhh, practice court stinks, big time!

So...you may be wondering what the heck is going on with the Paschal's. Yeah, sorry it's been a while since I posted last, I'll try and get better about that.

Well, most of you guys know that Jacob is going through practice court here at Baylor. For those of you who don't, let me just say it is the worst thing in the world and if you've ever thought about coming to law school at Baylor, DON'T!! Go anywhere else! Can you tell I'm a bit bitter about this whole thing? Basically Jacob is either reading or in class about 20 hours everyday! It's absolutely insane! We were talking tonight at dinner, and yes that is the only time that we get to talk each day, and he was saying how everyone is just having such a hard time getting through practice court. He was saying that one of his friends is mad at the world and just really angry at everyone and everything and his other friend is darn near suicidal. It is just crazy! We are so ready for this whole thing to be over and be able to have a normal life again. It will be so nice to get together with friends and family and not worry about the fact that Jacob really needs to be studying instead of doing the fun things that we'd like to do. Ok, I guess that's enough complaining for now.

Now for Jayda news. She is doing very well these days. She's up to over 13 pounds now! She is very active and likes to kick her legs a lot. She loves to stand up while we hold her, she has some strong legs! It's pretty funny now because she kind of stopped cooing. She was cooing all the time at us and the past few weeks she stopped. Now she just looks around at everything and is really curious. I guess she's just taking everything in and trying to figure out her world. Oh, she did laugh for the very first time tonight. She was laying down and Jacob came up to her and started making all kinds of funny sounds and out of nowhere she just busted out laughing. It was the cutest thing! Oh, I almost forgot, Jayda started teething a few weeks ago! Can you believe it?! She's only 3 months and already chomping down on everything in sight. She likes to put both of her thumbs in her mouth and chew on them! Jacob's mom looked in Jacob's baby book the other night and saw that he got his first 2 teeth at 4 months, so...we're thinking she's on the sane track. Pretty crazy huh? She still loves her baths. I had to move her little bath tub into the big bath tub to bathe her, instead of the kitchen counter, because she was kicking and splasing so much water out and soaking our kitchen counter and everything on it! She now has to take vitamins and they are no fun at all! They come in a liquid form and they smell disgusting. I can only guess that they are really nasty becuase everytime I give them to her she makes a terrible face and tries her best to spit them out. So, needles to say it is quite a struggle to get them down every night. Well, I think that is all that is going on with miss Jayda right now. Hope everyone is doing well and hopefully it won't be a month and half before I post something next time!
