(From my journal to Jacob)
Last Friday I got you a balloon at Babies R Us. You loved it! You started saying, "Bah-woo" last Friday. It's so cute. We had to get rid of the balloon yesterday, though. You've started to not take your morning nap. You still go to your crib, and you just talk for a while before you fuss. You're not taking a longer nap in the afternoon, so you're tired in the evening. You love books and want us to read them over and over again. You love your blankie.

Bedtime, Fun Times, Worries, and Food Preferences
(From my journal to Jacob)
You applaud yourself whenever you think you've done something good -- bringing a diaper to the Genie, stacking blocks, being nice to the cat, dumping all of the water bottles all over the kitchen. :) Last night I gave you your blankie and said it was time for bed. You walked straight to your crib and put your arms up. I put you in and you went right to sleep. Your dad and I were laughing hard because it amazed us and it was so cute!
You kick your soccer ball around, but have to throw it at the cats if they are close. You think that's hilarious. You help put toys away at bed time. You dance to "Old MacDonald" and say, "Ee-ohh." You love being outside and you want to run in the street. You do not want to hold hands. You freak out when your dad or I cough a lot or sneeze. You sort of cry out and then you're almost crying until you get to use and get as close as possible. Then you look really worried and keep watching and patting us. It's so sweet that you're worried, but your dad and I can't figure out how you'd even know there could be something to worry about.
You love to give hugs. You love to chase us and have us chase you. You love meat sticks and canned carrots. You do not like macaroni and cheese or Cheerios. You love Goldfish crackers. You don't like soda or juice (good!) but you love sweet tea. You don't get much of that, though. Just water and milk. You LOVE ice cream. You look for Daddy sometimes in the afternoon. It's sweet. I wish you understood that he's at work or class. We love you! You are so fun and so loving.

Jacob's First Football Game
(From my journal to Jacob)
Saturday was your first football game. We went to the Butler Homecoming game. You liked the marching band and danced. You wanted to walk around, but we were sitting on a steep hill, and it was crowded. We left after half time and walked around Butler for a little. You enjoyed the crunchy leaves. On Sunday we went to IU with your Aunt Jeanne, Uncle Steve, and Brianna. You were both good, but you didn't want to pose for photos.

The One Year Report
(From my journal to Jacob)
Time really flies. Today we went to Target and you were doing your laughing and smiling at everyone. You are so charming. You bring your dirty diapers to the Diaper Genie. You turn off the bathroom light (when I hold you up). You like to take your shoes and socks off and try to put them back on. You understand things like, "Go get your bottle." You like your bear blanket and reach for it when you go to sleep. You're having fun working on "Daddy." You say the "d" sound really hard. You take our socks off. You brought wipes to us for a while whenever you had a poopy diaper. We went to a Chinese buffet and you flirted so much with a waitress that she kissed you goodbye. You carry the heaviest stuff you can find. At your birthday party, Theo and Rosie gave you a push popper toy, and you just carried it around everywhere. In the morning, you like to go find Daddy and wake him up. You like to give hugs and cuddle. Your dad likes when he picks you up and you put your arm around him and pat his shoulder. You love to laugh. You are almost running. You are so wonderful.

Jacob Turns One
(From my journal to Jacob)I can't believe you're one year old! You're so big! On Tuesday, I had to work, but everyone on your dad's side came over to celebrate. You had a cupcake. :) Saturday's the big party.
You're walking everywhere and you barely ever crawl anymore. You're so busy and so happy. You're so excited.
Your upper left side tooth (not the middle, but next to it) just came in.

A Trip to Minnesota
(From my journal to Jacob)
Yesterday you whistled twice! You don't know how you do it, but you're aware of it.
You're taking lots of steps, but you're still cautious.
You're drinking milk except for one breast feeding in the morning. You're talking like crazy. You're so sweet!
We went to MN on the 31st to your Great Aunt Karen's lake house. With the travel and people wanting to spend time with you, your schedule was really thrown off. You stopped napping well, you barely ate, and you became really clingy with me. You're just starting to get back on track. We're not there yet, though.
Tonight you get your third haircut. Woo hoo! I love you.
