Sheets and Fun Stuff
(From my journal to Jacob)
You're getting braver with your steps. You've actually taken a couple of steps and looked like you knew you were doing it. You're cruising everywhere. You'll walk just holding my hand with one hand.
Today I was folding sheets and I had one spread out on the floor and was getting ready to start folding. You got really excited and crawled onto it. You just kept crawling back and forth on it. I put the top sheet beside it and you played with it. I folded up the bottom sheet while you were playing with the top sheet, and you got really upset. It was funny.
You love the animals on Baby MacDonald. You like to clap with Wheel of Fortune and you really like the Final Jeopardy music.
You give big open-mouthed kisses sometimes. I'm not sure if they're kisses, actually, because a lot of times you say, "Ahhhh" as you do it.
If your dad or I lie on the floor on our backs and a little tummy shows, you push the shirt up farther and rest your head on it. It's sweet, but I wonder where you got that.
Cheerios are still a staple of every meal. You like to feed them to us. They apparently go with everything.
We went to see the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants yesterday (just the two of us). We made it through an hour and a half before you got bored and wanted to crawl around. Not bad! (It's two hours long.)

Jacob's 11 Months Old!
(From my journal to Jacob)Happy 11 month birthday! One more month and you're a year old! Wow. Lately you've been shutting doors and then immediately crying. You don't like being shut in rooms. You cry even if I'm in there with you. It's pretty funny. Last night you went from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. without eating. I'm so proud of you! You only woke up twice. Not bad at all. I love you!

Jacob Can Walk!
(From my journal to Jacob)
Oh my goodness! I think you just took your first step!!! I was sitting at the computer and I saw you standing out of the corner of my eye. Then you took a step (maybe 2) and touched my leg! Yay! I'm so proud of you!

Naps Feel Good
(From my journal to Jacob)
You are so cute. We bought you a little papasan-type chair and you just lounge in it and water Baby Einstein. You squeal and wave your arms and legs when it comes on. You're holding your feet right now. You can stand long enough to clap and say, "Yay." We think you're steady enough to walk, but you're still afraid. You've been going from midnight until 8 in the morning without eating. It's very exciting! I'm trying to give you bottles as often possible with breast milk and whole milk to get you used to it. You still prefer nursing and won't take all milk bottles. You're pretty routine about sleep now. First nap - 10:15, second nap 2:30 or 3, and bedtime at 8. You nap for 45-75 minutes.

Daddy Takes Over
(From my journal to Jacob)
You hold the remote control to your ear like it's a telephone. I say, "Hello? Hello? Jacob!" and you smile. It's so cute! Your dad and I tried something new last night. I fed you at 11:30 when you woke up, but after that, your dad took over. At 2, you woke up. He went in and held you, and then put you down. You cried for 4 minutes and then slept until 6:15. He went in again. You cried for 10 minutes and slept until 7, which was our goal. We're trying to get you to sleep through the night without a feeding. Last night was very promising. I thought I'd have to feed you or that you'd at least cry more. Not bad at all!

The Judges Were Paid Off
(From my journal to Jacob)
You can stack 4 small blocks on top of a bigger one. You're cruising a lot. Lately you go down for naps and bedtime with little to no fussing. You didn't win the baby contest (the older babies did), but we did run into Bennett S., and the two of you shared Cheerios and cereal puffs. You love playing with Brianna. The two of you get along really well. You love to play the piano and recorder. You want to climb everything.
You don't like wet diapers. You used to not care. Now you pull on it. You still scream during diaper changes.
We love you! We're starting to think about a baby brother or sister for you. Oh yeah, you wear a 4.5 to 5 size shoe!!!
