I KNOW PEOPLE

I have had more than one complaint about being a slacker on the blog. I apologize to everyone.

Let me bring you up to speed on some exciting highlights in our boys life.

Jacob now says a few additional words such as mana for banana and woo woo (for his doggie stuffed animal) and duckie. Ball continues to be his favorite. He is just the cutest when he says them. He is getting very independent. He likes to walk without holding hands, which he doesn't get to do too often. He also likes to feed himself whatever he is eating even though he makes a disaster of a mess. Last night he successfully used a fork for bananas and he tried for spaghetti but that was a little tougher.

He loves to give kisses and hugs and most of the time you don't even have to ask. He is also getting pretty good at talking on the phone...its very funny.

Four more teeth are coming in and he is a bit cranky at times but overall handling it well. He has also become a bit feisty which we are trying to nip in the bud. He has his moments until we have to briefly remind him that we always win...ah the joy of being the parent!

He recently visited his friend Casey for his 1st birthday. The first time they met they both cried, but this time they enjoyed playing with ping pong balls and banging on the front door.
