The Cow Says Moo!

(From my journal to Jacob)

Trees are "eee." You have to point them out. Every single one that you notice. Your dad says there are a lot of them on the way to Nana's.

You've been sick with something you got from Brianna. You have a really phlegmy (spelling?) cough. Today you had some food in your mouth and started coughing, then choking, and then threw up. It really scared me!

You make a really cute tiny sound when we say "cat." You say, "Moo" when we say cow.

You sprouted at least 3 teeth this week. You are super drooly and snotty. You blow when we give you a kleenex and then you throw it away.

Wally Steps Up

(From my journal to Jacob)

Yesterday your dad spent all day making you a crawl-in house out of a cardboard box. It is so cool! He glued on each shingle (approx 620 of them). You go in it and just laugh and laugh. It's hilarious. We started watching Babe with you, and it makes you laugh. You got roseola a couple of weeks ago and ran a fever of about 104. It scared me. The doctor said everyone gets it, though. You LOVE your blankie and Wally. You have to pull the plastic guard rails off of your crib before you go to sleep, but they have to go back on when you're awake. You love to blow kisses. Your mouth stays open the whole time and you say, "Ahhm-whah" really loudly. You do it sometimes before you go to sleep. You love to laugh. You love cats and dogs. You love to play chase around teh house. You say "cracker" sometimes (cah-cah).

Bah-woo!

(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.
