Winter Bugs....Bah!

Well...Jacob's cold has not gone away, and since I last posted Jacob developed a cough that got really bad throughout the weekend. We've been housebound for a while now, except for Superbowl Sunday (we'll get to that later), and the trip to the pediatrician on Monday. So, we are ready for Winter to end so we can get outside and get rid of these nasty winter bugs!



New things he's doing:



Jacob has gotten really good at rotating in his crib...it takes him no time at all now. He has figured out how to bounce while standing and holding onto things. He likes to "grunt" for attention and when answering a question. He is throwing EVERYTHING. Some advice on when/how that stops...please. He can roll a ball back and forth while sitting. He rather enjoys that game (as does Jackson). He loves reading books and turning pages. He listens to Michael Buble and "dances" to the music! :) He copies sounds that we make and tries to figure out change in pitch. He doesn't like it when we "make" him hold something....he would rather do it himself. When laying on his back he lifts his bottom up and down in the air by pushing down on his feet, while laughing! What a goof! He loves Jackson and often tries to imitate his bark with a grunt when he hears him barking.



Here's some pictures of Jacob from this week.



Standing and holding onto the coffee table. He mostly just stands there and looks around. He's not confident enough to move anywhere yet!
Fell asleep in his crib...after about 30 minutes of rotating. This is how he ended up!

Best Buds!

Jacob "singing" and "dancing" to Michael Buble. He thought his sock made a good stage prop, until he threw it on the floor! :)

This picture was my doing. I opened the drawer in his room to see what he'd do. As I was putting things away in his room, he thought it would be fun to pull things out, so I'd have more to put away. Wasn't that thoughtful of him?

Now to Superbowl Sunday...

Our small group usually meets on Sunday nights. So we decided to meet at the Beasley's house and watch the game together. Jacob wasn't feeling his best, but he wasn't horrible either, so we decided to go. Here's a picture of Sam and Jacob together on the couch. Sam loves Jacob and was trying to sit in his lap and play with him all night. Here's a couple of pictures of the two of them. I can't wait for the day when Jacob can run around with Sam on Sunday nights! :)

Trying to hug! :)

Thanks for checking in with us this week.
