Jacob & Hersey

Here is my first YouTube video. Jacob playing with our new cat, Hersey.

Summer Update

The first month of Summer is almost over. Jacob is mastering his Walking and Tooth # 4 & 5 has broken through. He loves to clap and has begun to give us high fives. He Loves to climb stairs and pet Maggie & Hersey(our dog & cat). Sami (our other cat) doesn't let him near her. He likes to put things inside other things. Which includes toilettes. Yes he put my cell phone in the toilette. Luckily it was my old one and it so happens that it still works.

He began to say around his 1st Bday 'mama' a little, but mostly 'dada' but hasn't really said them recently. Still not sure if he knows what they mean. He mostly just jabbers and everything is 'ball' though it comes out more like 'baa'. I believe that he is trying to say 'puppy' (he has a stuffed puppy dog that he sleeps with. The joys of having a toddler!

SYTYCD

Here is my Favorite Dance from Week 2: Twitch and Kherington. No one really stood out to me this week. I did like Chelsie & Mark and Katee & Joshua

I Love Dancing

One of my favorite shows this summer is So You Think You Can Dance. Here was 1 of my favorite performances from Week 1. Auburn Fans check out Cheslie's brothers tshirt when they introduce her. I'll post Week 2 favorite when it is available (if it is).

Teething

Please keep Jacob in your prayers as he is cutting 5 teeth on top at once. He has been running a low grade fever since Saturday. He is hanging in there pretty well. A little fussy and yesterday didn't eat much...and if Jacob doesn't eat you know somethings wrong. Luckily he is still sleeping well. He took 2-2hour naps today. Thanks and have a Blessed Week!

First Week of Summer

Yesterday I was thinking about what I was doing this time last year. ...taking care of my new born baby boy. Jacob was just 2 weeks old at this point. I love now that he can hug & cuddle, smile & laugh, clap & walk...but I do miss that newborn stage. It is just amazing how much they learn and grow in a year.

His 3rd tooth has finally come...working on 3 more on top I think. He has been a bit whinny the past couple of weeks. If it's not his teeth I hope this stage end soon. We had his 1 year pictures taken Monday. Between teething and his emerging independence it wasn't the best, but we take pictures to capture the moment, right. We have been able to do much but stay inside because of the raging heat. I hoping Jacob will conquer his fear of the water this summer, by taking him to the pool. Bath time has gotten better.

Enjoy some more photos of our boy!

Jacob Walking

Here is that video I tried to DL of him walking the week before his birthday. He has come along way. Our Big Boy! He had so much fun at his party. Please come back to see his birthday slideshow.
