Valentines Weekend

On Valentine's weekend, Jacob had his first date.  She's a couple of weeks older, so she's kind of a cougar, but they have many things in common - like they both like to eat tables.  It was love.

We love our photo spot by the LA Temple!  Valentine's Family Photos.  <3 nbsp="" p="">

Grandma Molly & Emily Visit

Grandma Molly & Aunt Emily came to visit last month!  They spent 2 days a Disneyland (Jake & I did one day with them) and then we had a fun lunch at the American Girl Place!

Jacob: Ten Months

Jacob is turning into a little boy before our very eyes!  Every day he seems a little bigger (well, sort of) and a little smarter.

At ten months, Jacob:

- is little - weighing in at 18 lbs 7.3 oz and measuring just shy of 27 inches.  This puts him in the 2nd percentile for height and 21st percentile for weight.  He's been 18 lbs since December!  Ha!

- is still wearing size 3-6 month clothing. 

- is very smart!  Jacob's tricks include playing peek-a-boo, waving, clapping, smacking his lips, and sticking out his tongue!

- knows where the "books" are and where to find "Mickey Mouse."  We couldn't be more proud.  ;) 

- is learning how to make a basket in the basketball hoop.  Sometimes he does, and sometimes he just throws the ball elsewhere and then does a little cackle laugh.

- always has a bruise, or two, or three, somewhere . . mostly the head region.

- can stand by himself for upwards of 5 seconds!

- has taken one step and then fallen multiple times.  Walking is SO close.

- loves the bathroom: i.e., loves to throw things in the bathtub, pull things out of the cupboard below the sink, and observe the use of the toilet.

- usually enjoys bath time, but now he's starting to be wild and falls down sometimes . . he doesn't like that.

- hates having his diaper change; is expert and crawling away with no diaper on.

We love, love, love our Jakey-boy!  He is the best!
