*Jill, Joe and Jacob are in Delaware with family and Jacob begins to learn to eat baby foods! Thank you so much to my best friend joebidenloving for helping me write this! Enjoy! ❤️

January 29th, 2022

It has been a relaxing and quiet Saturday in Delaware for Joe, Jill, Jacob, Major and Commander!

Joe, Jill, Jacob, Major and Commander came to Delaware late Friday night so they haven't done much except sleep.

Jill and Joe try to go to Delaware a few weekends a month because they miss their Delaware home and their favorite places there!

Joe and Jill can't wait for dinner time because Naomi, Peter, Finnegan, Maisy, Kathleen, Hallie, Little Hunter, Natalie, Ashley, Howard, Eugenia and Bonny are coming over for dinner and to spend time together!

Hunter, Beau and Melissa will be California, Melissa will be due with Baby Joey in about two months, so they want to stay close to home until he arrives!

Right now, Jill is going upstairs to see if Jacob is awake from his afternoon nap while Joe is reading the newspaper in the living room with Commander and Major laying by his feet.

"Will you two be good when your sister arrives when we go back to the White House? Hmm? Remember Willow the cat? She will be your sister and I want you two to be the best brothers to her." Joe says as he closes his newspaper and pets both dog's heads.

Commander puts his head on Joe's lap and looks up at him with his puppy dog eyes.

"She'll be your boss, buddy. Just like your Mommy is my boss." Joe says and scratches Comamnder's head.

Major walks over to Joe and places his head on Joe's lap as well.

"Willow will be your big sister, Commander and Willow will be your baby sister, Major." Joe says with a cheeky grin at the dogs.

Meanwhile upstairs, Jill quietly enters Jacob's nursery and peeks into his crib to see if he's awake. She finds Jacob staring and smiling back at her.

"Are you awake, baby? Did you sleep well? Did you take a nice nap?" Jill asks Jacob as she picks him up and cradles him in her arms.

Jacob is sleepy and rests his head on Jill's shoulder.

"My little sleepy baby boy. I love you so much." Jill says and gives Jacob a few kisses on the head.

"Let's change your diaper and then let's eat! I'm sure you are hungry! Are you hungry?" Jill asks Jacob, placing him on his changing table to change his diaper.

Jacob happily babbles up at Jill, while wiggling around.

"Stay still, Jakey! You are a little wiggle worm!" Jill says in a babyfied voice as she quickly changes Jacob's diaper and changes him out of his onesie into a cute little outfit.

*Jacob's outfit*

Once Jacob is all dressed and his hair is brushed, Jill picks up Jacob and holds him close.

Jacob babbles and tries to grab Jill's hair and Jill quickly stops him. Jacob's new thing he likes to do is pull hair and jewelry.

"Are you ready to see Daddy, Commander and Major? Hmm?" Jill says to Jacob and Jacob smiles.

"Baaa baaaa." Jacob says as he smiles at Jill and Jill smiles back at Jacob.

"Okay! Let's go downstairs!" Jill says as she and Jacob walk downstairs together.

Jacob squeals happily as soon as he sees Joe when they come downstairs. Joe stands up and walks over to meet Jill and Jacob.

"Hi, baby boy! Did you sleep well?" Joe asks Jacob and softly kisses his forehead.

Jacob reaches out and touches Joe's face as he babbles happily.

"I think he did! He was a bit sleepy but woke right up when I checked in on him and then I changed his diaper. He was a little wiggle worm again." Jill says and tickles Jacob's stomach lightly causing Jacob to giggle.

"You naughty little boy." Joe says in a babyfied voice and gives Jacob another kiss.

Jacob babbles happily at Joe as Joe rubs Jacob's head.

"Did you say we would try to give him some baby food today, Jilly?" Joe asks as he takes Jacob from her arms and gives her a kiss.

"I thought so! I thought it could be fun to let him try when all the kids are here for dinner. Natalie and Hunter were so excited last week but I wanted Jacob to pass five and a half months first before we start with foods." Jill says to Joe with a smile.

"I think all of the grandkids will enjoy seeing Jacob trying some foods! Mmm! You are going to try ice cream soon!" Joe says in a babyfied voice causing Jacob to babble.

"I don't think so! But for his birthday he can try it just for you." Jill says as she kisses Joe softly before walking over to the dogs and pet them.

"I wish Hunt, Beau and Melissa were here this weekend." Joe says as Jacob tries to grab at Joe's shirt collar.

"Me too, but I don't want Melissa sitting for a long flight right now. Especially when she had some back to back braxton hicks contractions the other day. I want her and Baby Joey to be healthy and for Baby Joey to come when he is suppose to and not early." Jill says as she continues to pet Commander and Major.

"That's true, we wish our next little grandbaby a safe arrival." Joe says as Jacob rests his head on Joe's shoulder.

Joe strokes Jacob's back and sways softly.

"He seems a bit tired still, he is very cuddly." Joe says and looks at Jill.

"He's a little cuddly boy. He loves being held by you just as much as I do." Jill says and stands up to give Joe a soft kiss on the lips.

Joe smiles as Jill gives Jacob a kiss on the cheek.

"You also love being in Dada's arms, don't you?" Jill says and smiles as Jacob smiles against Joe's shoulder.

Jacob babbles and plays with Joe's shirt.

"I was telling Commander and Major about their sister that will be coming this Monday." Joe says with a big cheeky smile.

"Oh I am so excited for Willow to arrive! It's going to be amazing to finally have her home." Jill says with a big smile.

"Are you excited to have a cat sister, Jakey? Hmm? You are going to have a cat big sister!" Joe says as Jake babbles.

"She is going to love you, Jakey! Yes, she will!" Jill says as as she puts some of the dog toys away in the dog toy box.

Commander walks over to Jill and dips his head down n the toy box.

"Did I put away your favorite?" Jill chuckles and hands Commander his favorite teddy bear.

"You'll have to get used to having your toys taken away, your kitty sister might have the same favorite" Joe says and scratches Commander behind the ear.

Jacob looks around the room and sees a picture of Beau.

"Baaaa baaaa." Jacob says pointing at a picture of Beau that is on the shelf.

"Is that your big brother, Beau? It is! He is in his army uniform here!" Jill says as she shows Jacob the picture of Beau.

"Beau loves you, Jakey. He loves you so so much." Joe says, kissing Jacob's cheek a few times as Jill puts the picture of Beau back.

"Tonight you will see Hallie, Natalie, little Hunter, Kathleen, Ashley, Howard, Eugenia, Bonny, Naomi, Charlie, Peter, Finnegan and Maisy! Big brother Hunter, Melissa and baby Beau are in California because Melissa has baby Joey in her belly!" Jill says causing Jacob to smile.

"They're all so excited for you! They want you to try all the foods." Joe chuckles and gives Jacob a kiss.

"Speaking of foods, I better start cooking if we're going to have any food tonight!" Jill says and gives Joe a kiss before she goes into the kitchen.

"You two can help set the table! You know how I want it with the candles, Joe!" Jill shouts from the kitchen.

"Looks like you and I are going to be Mommy's helpers." Joe says to Jacob who smiles up at him.

Joe carefully sets the table, while juggling Jacob in his arms. Jacob happily watches his Daddy out the napkins, silverware and plates in the correct spot.

"Ba ba!" Jacob says as he tries to grab the napkin.

"No no. Don't touch, baby. Are you hungry? How about I give you a bottle! Mmmm!" Joe says as he and Jacob walk into the kitchen.

Joe gets the formula can from the cabinet and begins to make Jacob's bottle.

"Someone is hungry, huh? I see you looking at that bottle!" Jill says as she giggles at Joe and Jacob.

"He kept wanting to grab the napkins so he must be hungry." Joe says to Jill as he begins to mix the bottle up.

"Don't get your Dada to feed you too much, baby. You're going to get real food today!" Jill says and kisses Jacob's forehead as Joe finishes making the bottle. 

"He knows already that he has me wrapped around his fingers." Joe chuckles as he starts to feed Jacob the bottle.

"Haven't we all?" Jill giggles and blows Joe a kiss as she continues with the food.

Joe just smiles at her and return to the living room to feed Jacob on the couch.

Commander hops up on the couch and lays down next to Joe.

"Hey buddy, did you want to see your brother, huh?" Joe asks Commander and scratches his ear.

Commander puts his head down on Joe's lap next to Jacob.

Meanwhile, Major stays in the kitchen and watches Jill cook.

"You are such a good boy. Yes, you are! I know you are a good boy." Jill says petting Major's head before she gets ready to cook.

Joe happily talks to Jacob as Jacob sucks on his bottle.

"You are getting so big, I can't believe that you are almost six months old. It feels like yesterday that I found out about you." Joe says as he stops mid bottle to burp Jacob.

Sometimes drinking a while bottle at once makes Jacob throw it up so Jill and Joe feed him half of his bottle, burp him, then feed him the other half and burp him after.

Joe's iPhone dings and it is a text from Ashley, saying that she, Howard and their four month twins Eugenia and Bonny are on the way over!

"Jilly!" Joe says calling for Jill as Jacob begins to drink the rest of his bottle.

"Yes, baby?" Jill says as she and Major walk out of the kitchen.

"Ash texted, she, Howard and the girls are on the way. They are in Delaware now." Joe says with a bit grin.

"Good! I hope the girls are doing okay with the drive!" Jill says and takes Jacob's empty bottle to wash it.

"I'm sure they're fine. They've driven to us many times now." Joe says as he burps Jacob on his shoulder.

"Maybe you could put some candles out on the porch? We have those large lanterns out there and big white candles in the cubbies next to the stairs." Jill asks Joe.

"For sure, it will look nice when they all drive up!" Joe says and finish burping Jacob after a few large burps.

"He sounds like a full grown man." Jill chuckles when Joe comes into the kitchen to fetch the matches.

"He is just like his Daddy, aren't you bud?" Joe says as he kisses Jacob's cheek.

Jacob babbles and smiles at Joe and Jill.

Twenty minutes later, Ashley, Howard, Eugenia and Bonny have arrived!

The four of them are happily greeted by Commander and Major, causing the girls to smile.

"Hey, Ash. You look so beautiful today." Joe says as he hugs his daughter with one arm and kisses her cheek.

"Ba baaaa!" Jacob says as he smiles at Ashley.

"Thank you, Dad! And hi, Jakey! I see you! You are getting so big!" Ashley says as she picks up Jacob from Joe and holds him.

Howard places the car seats down and Eugenia and Bonny happily kick their legs and babble.

*Eugenia and Bonny's outfits*

"Hi, pretty girls! Hi! You two are smiling and babbling! You two are getting so big!" Joe says to the girls as he kisses their heads.

"I think they are the same size as Jacob at this point!" Howard says as he giggles.

Ashley continues to hold Jacob and Jacob begins to play with her necklace.

"You like my necklace? It's so pretty isn't it?" Ashley asks Jacob and he babbles at her.

"He loves jewelry! Especially necklaces so be careful!" Jill says as she walks in the room and hugs Ashley and Howard before she and Joe pick up the girls from their car seats.

"Look at us, so many babies." Jill smiles as she stands next to Joe, holding Bonny tight in her arms.

"We're blessed with so much love." Joe says and kisses Jill's forehead as they admire all of the babies.

"I never imagined this many babies in such a short period of time." Ashley says and smiles.

"Come on in! I've started with dinner!" Jill says and carries Bonny into the kitchen.

Joe follows with Eugenia and kisses her head as he soars down on a chair in the kitchen.

"Oh mom! This smells lovely!" Ashley says.

"It really smells good, Jill. It's always amazing whatever you make!" Howard says.

"Aren't you excited for food, baby brother?" Ashley says to her little brother.

Howard pets Major and Commander who are now wanting some food.

"You two will eat when we will eat, don't you worry." Joe says as Eugenia babbles.

"I have a few baby foods here! He only has one tooth so it's not safe to give him what we are eating just yet." Jill says to Ashley.

"Ooo, carrots and peas looks fun!" Ashley says as she looks at the baby food cans while Jacob plays with her necklace.

"Keep your hair bow in, Nini! It looks so pretty on you!" Jill says to Bonny and Bonny babbles.

"I thought about piercing the girls ears but I don't know." Ashley says to Jill as she continues to happily holds her baby brother.

Ashley and Jacob have a very close bond and Ashley feels it might be as close to the one she had with Beau.

"I wouldn't put the girls through that. That really hurts, doesn't it?" Joe says as he gives Eugenia some kisses.

"Just for a minute, Dad. They do it way differently now. Just one pinch and it's done." Ashley says as Jacob giggles as Ashley tickles his tummy.

"It is your decision because you and Howard are their parents. However, I think you should wait until they are old enough to clean them and put them on themselves. They won't like you touching them to change them all of the time and the hole will close." Jill says to Ashley.

"That's true. I really hated when you cleaned them. But, I think getting it done now would be easier when they get older because they it won't hurt them changing their earrings. They won't remember the pain." Ashley explains to her parents.

"I'm down to whatever Ash wants to do!" Howard says, supporting his wife.

"Whatever you guys decide, mom and I will support." Joe says and Jill nods in agreement.

"Well, dinner is cooking! Let's take the babies in the living room to play!" Jill says with a big smile.

Jill, Bonny, Joe, Eugenia, Ashley, Jacob, Howard, Comamnder and Major all go in the living room together.

Bonny, Eugenia and Jacob all lay down on a blanket that Jill has set up for Jacob and they all babble with each other as they play with their toys.

Commander and Major both sit next to the blanket and they watch the babies protectively.

"Is Melissa okay? I heard she had some contractions the other day and Hunt never texted me back." Ashley asks both Jill and Joe.

"She is fine now! She was just having those practice contractions you get during pregnancy." Jill explains to Ashley,

"Oh yeah! I had those too! Sometimes I thought that was it!" Ashley says chuckling.

"I had them with you too! I think all women have them! Hunt and Melissa thought Baby Joey was coming two months early but luckily he wasn't. Just Braxton Hicks, So Hunter and Melissa are probably going to stay in California until Joey is born." Jill says as she looks down at the three babies playing together.

"Are they going to FaceTime with us during dinner?" Howard asks Jill and Joe and Ashley nods, wondering the same thing.

"I don't think so, I think Hunter has some art thing tonight, right Jilly?" Joe asks Jill, smiling up at her.

"I think so! I remember Hunt mentioning something about planning another art show which is going to be great. Dad and I definitely want to go." Jill says and Joe nods.

"For sure. I really want to go and see Hunter's art pieces. Hopefully Secret Service can work it out so we can both go." Joe says with a chuckle, causing Jill, Ashley and Howard all laugh.

Eugenia, Bonny and Jacob all babble happily at each other, rolling around and playing with their toys.

An hour later, Kathleen, Naomi, Peter, Naomi and Peter's dog Charlie, Finnegan, Maisy, Hallie, Natalie and Little Hunter all arrive!

Jill, Joe, Jacob, Ashley, Eugenia, Bonny, Howard, Kathleen, Naomi, Peter, Naomi, Finnegan, Maisy, Hallie, Natalie and Hunter all catch up while Charlie, Major and Commander run around and play!

Little Hunter and Maisy both sit on the floor while Eugenia, Bonny and Jacob play with their toys.

"Ba baaaaa!" Bonny says as Maisy tickles her.

"Aaaaaaa!" Eugenia yells loudly, causing everyone to laugh loudly.

"Aa aa aa!" Jacob says as he sits in Little Hunter's lap.

"Hi!" Little Hunter says as he holds Jacob and makes him "jump in his lap" causing Jacob is laugh loudly.

"Bonny, can I wear your bow?" Kathleen asks Bonny and Bonny babbles at her.

"She hates bows!" Ashley says to Kathleen with a giggle.

"Maisy did too as a baby!" Kathleen says with a giggle.

Eugenia sits in Maisy's lap as she holds a toy with one of her hands. 

"You like this toy? Finnegan got it for you!" Maisy says as Eugenia babbles, causing Finnegan to smile.

*****
Dinner is now finally finished cooking in the oven and it is time to have family dinner!

Howard, Bonny, Little Hunter, Joe, Jacob, Jill, Natalie, Hallie, Finnegan, Maisy, Kathleen, Naomi, Peter, Eugenia and Ashley all sit around the big table.

Joe and Peter feed Commander, Charlie and Major their special dinners before sitting back at the table.

Ashley is holding Eugenia in her lap and Howard is holding Bonny in his lap because they aren't quite old enough to sit in the high chair like Jacob can.

Ashley and Howard are also feeding the girls' their bottles since they aren't ready like Jacob to try baby foods!

Howard, Little Hunter, Joe, Jill, Natalie, Hallie, Finnegan, Maisy, Kathleen, Naomi, Peter and Ashley all eat, talk and enjoy this family meal together!

Jacob is happily sitting in his highchair, watching everyone talk and eat! Jill just fed him another bottle so he will be held over and not hungry until she is finished eating her dinner.

*Jacob's high chair*

"Do you like sitting in your high chair, baby boy? Do you? Yeah!" Jill says in a babyfied voice at Jacob and Jacob smiles back at her.

"He looks so little in it!" Finnegan says as she waves at Jacob and Jacob babbles.

"He is sitting up so good! Such a big boy!" Hallie says to Jill.

"I know! Last time I saw him he wasn't sitting up at all and now look at him! He is growing up so fast!" Kathleen says with a big grin.

"He really is! He is almost sitting up unassisted but sometimes he falls down, so we put a pillow behind him." Jill says as she smiles at Jacob again.

"Eugenia and Bonny will be next to sit in their high chairs!" Ashley says happily smiling down at Eugenia and then smiles at Bonny.

"We need to get some more high chairs for next time we have family dinner here, Jilly." Joe says to Jill with a smile and Jill smiles, nodding at her husband.

Once Jill is finished eating her dinner, she is now ready to feed Jacob his baby foods!

"Look, Jakey! Look, baby boy! Some baby food just for you! Mmm! Mmm!" Jill says in a babyfied voice at Jacob with a big smile.

"Basaaaa ba ba!" Jacob says as looks at Jill and babbles at her happily.

"Let's see! You are having carrots and peas today! Are you excited?" Jill asks Jacob and Jacob babbles happily.

"Aww!" Hallie, Kathleen, Ashley, Naomi, Finnegan, Maisy and Natalie all say in unison to Jacob and all of them smile at Jacob.

Jacob smiles happily at Hallie, Kathleen, Ashley, Naomi, Finnegan, Maisy and Natalie, causing them to smile back.

"He loves all of the attention!" Peter says as he giggles and smiles.

"Jakey loves all of the attention! Right, baby? You love all of the attention just like Daddy." Jill says, causing everyone to laugh loudly.

Joe chuckles as well, laughing at Jill's comment as he takes sone pictures of Jill and Jacob together since this is a special moment!

Jill opens up the baby food can and she stirs it up with a green little spoon before feeding it to Jacob.

"Aaaa, ba baaaaa, aaaaa!" Jacob says with a big smile at Jill and Jill smiles at Jacob.

"It's coming, baby! Let me mix it up some!" Jill says to Jacob.

"Eww! Baby food looks so gross! How is that even good?" Little Hunter says, looking at the baby food in disgust.

"Babies love it! I never met a baby who hasn't liked baby food." Hallie says with a grin.

"Jacob looks excited and happy!" Peter say with a chuckle.

"Aww! He is so excited, Nana!" Naomi says as she takes a little video of Jacob.

"He is! Are you ready baby? Are you ready for some baby food?" Jill says to Naomi and then at Jacob.

"Aaaaa!" Jacob says as he looks at Jill with a cheeky smile.

"This boy is hungry Jill!" Joe says playfully to Jill causing Jill to laugh.

"I know! I don't want to go too fast!" Jill says to Joe playfully as she puts the small green spoon in the baby food jar and puts a little bit on the spoon.

Jill puts the small green near Jacob's mouth and Jacob babbles at his Mama.

"Here comes the Amtrak train! Choo choo!" Jill says as she puts the spoon near Jacob's mouth and he opens it for Jill.

"Good job, Jakey!" Jill says as she slowly pulls the spoon out of Jacob's mouth and Jacob closes his mouth, figuring out how to eat the baby food before swallowing it.

"Great job, buddy! You did it!" Joe says proudly as he takes more pictures of Jill and Jacob.

"Here comes another bite! Choo choo! Choo choo!" Jill says as she gets some more baby food to feed to Jacob.

"Mmm baaaa mmm!" Jacob says as he eats the next spoonful of baby food that Jill feeds him.

"Mmm! Is it yummy, baby? I'm so glad you love it!" Jill says in a babyfied voice at Jacob and smiles.

"Aww! Jacob is so cute eating baby food!" Natalie says happily.

"He is really doing good with it!" Ashley says as she smiles at her baby brother.

"He seems to really like the baby food choice as well!" Kathleen says to Jill.

"I figured peas and carrots would be a hit! I'm just glad he has already figured out how to eat it without choking. That's what I was worried about." Jill says as she feeds Jacob another bite.

Jill feeds Jacob the rest of the small baby food jar and Jacob happily ate it all!

Jill, Jacob, Joe, Commander, Major, Ashley, Eugenia, Bonny, Howard, Maisy, Finnegan, Naomi, Charlie, Peter, Kathleen, Hallie, Natalie and Hunter all had a wonderful weekend together! :)
