Jacob is 16 months old


Man our time in Utah is flying. I cannot believe another month has gone by and Jacob is another month older. He is almost one and a half and I cannot believe how much my baby is changing, especially since my baby is not looking so much like a baby!

Jacob is still a little one. He still weighs 20lbs. He tries to say a lot more these days. Anything he wants he says nene for. (Fruit snacks, pretzels, bananas and even I get that name!) He still loves to say ada (especially when we are calling Adan's name. He says dada and he has his love happy noise for kitties, dogs, basically any animals and now it included babies. He loves babies and gets the biggest smile on his face when there is someone closer to his size around. He likes to dance we have discovered. He is now starting to run. AAAHH! Watch out he is determined to get what he wants. Mostly he just has a strong personality that comes out when he isn't getting his way. We love that little boy to pieces. He is so lovable and cuddly. He loves his blankie and can be found cuddling with it most of the day. Words can not express the joy that Jacob brings into our lives. (With that of course comes frustration because he also cries alot when he does not get his way.) He is also very mommy attached. He is very use to me and I have only left him with Aaron since we moved pretty much. My mom has watched him a couple of times while he sleeps, my little sister has babysat a little and my sister Andrea watched him for our anniversary weekend get away. Other than that he is with Aaron or me. I think nursery is going ot be a shock for him. However in February I am going to try and get a YW to babysit every week so I can get some errands run in the day and not have to rely on Aaron so much and he can get more dissertation work done. I don't really go anywhere during the day due to Jacob's two nap schedule. We will see how this all works out for Jacob but in the end I think this will help his transition to nursery. I almost forgot to mention that Jacob's two teeth have broken through. All we have let is thos two year molars. Which is a good thing because Jacob hasn't been sleeping to great these last few nights and anytime I walk away he scream. He is not feeling great.
