13 month update

Dear Jacob,

You are now 13 months old.  I'm still amazed that you have only been here for 13 short months of my life.  Your daddy and I think you are the best thing since sliced bread (except for when it's 3 am and you're screaming).

We had a busy month, with Halloween, playdates, cookie making, and regular day to day happenings.   You were absolutely the cutest lion for Halloween. 

You voted (or ran away when I sat down, so made it hard to concentrate on the voting)

 

You started signing new words, please and more.  But we really have to beg you to do it.  Basically, we held your banana's hostage until you signed more.  First you would scream at us, with your face all scrunched up, and it was all we could to not laugh, but finally we won a battle, and you signed to us.  If you get too frustrated, you will just eat what's on your tray rather than sign to us for the fruit.  You are REALLY stubborn at times.

 

Most of the pics of you are a blur.

You refuse to sit still, are ALWAYS on the move,

love to play "Gonna Get You"

There is a nuk in your mouth in this pic, so I'm guessing daddy caved in to you.  I only let you have one at nap...

 

We went on a LONG walk one afternoon, yes those are socks on his hands... you were adamant about walking by yourself, even thou you kept falling down because of sticks and bumpy terrain

 You have figured out how to get onto your tractor all by yourself.  You still dont know how to move it, but you try.  You also are able to climb up on daddy's tractor all by yourself....

Reading is still your favorite way to spend your time.  Fav books include Little Blue Truck, LBT Leads the Way, Truck book, Noisy Trucks, Go Dog Go, In My Nest (which is in pic, and you try to bite the bear) and any lift the flap books
