Here's what we've been up to...

We went to The Fair

Jacob could not be bothered while he was on the phone =)


The BIG cows made him cry


We tried out some new hair styles

His hair is getting really long
so I put it in a pony tail
Josh did not think it was funny =)


Mohawk! Hee hee hee


And we made some funny faces

I wasn't home when Josh took these window licking pictures
I looked through my camera and about fell off my chair!



That's all for now

10 Months

Look at his cheesy smile!!! hee hee



This was an exciting month!
Jacob has learned how to crawl
He pulls himself up to a standing position on everything
Sometimes he balances standing up without holding on to something
He's cruising and walking when you hold his hands
He talks all the time and he really thinks he is making sense
His favorite thing to say is DADADADA
He sticks out tongue and blows (you know that sound)
He's sleeping through the night and...
NO MORE NURSING TO SLEEP!!! Oh, I love it! 
Thanks to all the advice on sleep training IT HAS WORKED! YAY!
And thanks to sleeping better, he's SOOOO much happier during the day!!!
He's mastered the sippy cup, and will throw it if he doesn't like what's inside.
He eats EVERYTHING he can find on the ground, yuck
He puts bite marks into EVERYTHING
He got 2 new teeth, lower anteriors
and is about to get his upper K9s
He LOVES the vacuum
He HATES shoes or socks
He loves opening anything he can, cupboards, doors, fridge
He loves being outside
He's learned how to give the cheesiest smile, I LOVE IT! 
He loves to make music on our keyboard
He loves bath time and thinks it's time to climb
He hates rice cereal all by it's self, he acts like you're torturing him
His hair is getting really long and I don't know what to do with it
and his hair is amazingly thin. I have such thick hair that I just
assumed any baby of mine would too, but no it's thin and strawberry blond
He throws things both when he's happy and upset
He turns the pages of books all by him self, he may skip a few pages though
Sometimes he carefully watches your mouth when you sing or read to him
like he is really trying to understand what you're saying
He seems to understand dada, mama, come here, Jacob
He had really bad diaper rash that would not go away and it
turned out to be a yeast infection. Didn't know babies could get that
He such a little sweetheart!
When he's not hungry or tired he's soooo happy!
We love him so much!!!

CHEESE

Jacob was in a super smily mood the other day
So I had to pull out the camera and soak it all up =)



Summer Fun!!! Jet skiing!!!

This summer we got to go jet skiing a lot! It was SOOO fun!
We brought a few friends to join in the fun!
Jacob LOVED playing at the beach.

Here's my besties and my baby before taking off for the day





That's me driving! I'm not as brave as everyone else,
but I did get it up to 53 miles per hour!
It was scary!!! But FUN!


Here's Josh! He was by far the craziest out there




Rachel and Jen about to go
the had WAY too much fun LOL




Jacob liked chasing the birds

9 Months


Sorry, I just keep getting later and later about these Month updates

Here are some of the new things Jacob is doing:

He has been army crawling for a whole month, he's getting really good at it.
He figured out how to get from his tummy to a sitting position.
He started eating Cheerios and other finger foods.
He figured out how to hold his sippy cup.
He is starting to climb on things, mainly mommy.
He stopped playing with his tongue =( it was so cute!
He's decided that he does not like winter squash and loves pears.
He will give you "raspberries" hee hee.
He's discovered doors and cupboards and loves to open and close them.
He also discovered the door stop and loves to make noise with it.
He has grown attached to a certain book and it always makes him smile.
He tries to clap his hands.
He shakes his head "no" I don't think he knows what it means.
We think he's trying to wave, he doesn't always do it.
He dashes for the front door and the fridge when ever they are opened.
When he's in a silly mood, you can really get him going with laughter if you blow on his sides and belly, that sort of thing.
He bites EVERYTHING! There are bite marks pretty much on everything in our house. Including this low window seal, he bites chunks of paint off and I have to hold him down to clean his mouth out and sometime I miss a few paint chips and they end up in his diaper... not good!
He pulls the curtains that cover the sliding glass back door and ruins them. We haven't figured out how to make those baby proof. So we have to chase him away every day.
He loves to chew on cell phones and TV remotes. Needless to say we try our best to keep those away.
He sometimes gives kisses. Always open mouth, we are still working on that.
He loves being outside or looking outside and watching birds.

Monkey see monkey do

Jacob can now pull himself up into a standing position
As you can see
But it looks a little funny that he chose to do it
for the first time in front of the open fridge LOL
Wonder where he got that from...
He loves the fridge
You will see him dash across the room
whenever you open it
