1. I don't want to get out of vacation mode and do this
2. there is so much to catch up on, I"m avoiding picking what to post
3. we've been so busy adjusting back into normal life after our trip to Florida
4. We had Jacob's birthday party to get ready for last weekend
5. Jacob had a rough few nights for sleep because of teething snot
and finally.. It's way to darn hot to sit in my computer room.
So.. I have no more excuses tonight... Jacob is sleeping better, I'm done my cleaning for the maids to come tomorrow morning, and there's at least a breeze coming through the open window!
I'll put up a couple pics from our trip, but it's hard to pick from 400 of them. And then a few from Jacob's birthday party.. and then I'll try to stay better at updating this with regular every day growing, changing Jacob.
He isn't walking yet, but Kent was so happy to see him crawling and all the other amazing things he can do, that I don't think he minded missing the first steps. At this rate, he may wait for daddy to get home in the fall. He stands on his own a lot more now, and wants to walk, but then gets down and crawls because it's way quicker.
He is signing 2 signs with a lot of regularity now. More, and Nurse (or milk). It's amazing how much these 2 simple signs have changed our world of communication. This morning, I thought we were up for the day at 7:30, since Jacob is usually up at 6 am. But he sat in the bed looked at me and signed more. I said, more what, do you want to go have breakfast already, and then he smiled at me and signed "nurse" with both hands. So I layed down to nurse him and he fell back asleep. I was able to get out of the bed and chat with a friend on MSN for an hour before he woke up. I was completely shocked and amazed.
Also, I"ve noticed him finally understanding and responding much more. Tonight in his bath, I asked him to hand me the green fish toy that lights up and suctions to the tub like the red star one we were playing with, and he handed me the right toy. Could have been a coincidence, but I'm going to say not! :) Because I"m the proud mama, and that's my privelege!!!
Jacob absolutely loved the shows at Seaworld.. he clapped so much!
We got to go to Sea world for free with our Military Id's, and they had us all stand before the Shamu show!
Jacob spent a lot of time inside the suitcases, inside the drawers, basically getting into as much as he could manage, with 2 of us around to chase him!
Even though I was still feeling a bit sick, we made it to the cirque du soleil show finally and absolutely loved it! Didn't get my fancy dinner at the Crab house.. next time..
Jacob showing off his new ears!
Jacob became a pro at sleeping in the stroller. He's resting his feet on the bench here in the restaurant in Epcot's england!
Most of the parks had great soft-surface playgrounds for Jacob to go crazy out of the stroller!
At our first Character dinner.. Jacob was not a fan of them getting too close! Luckily they made it around the room twice, and he was much better with them the second time around!
Had to be geeks and all get tshirts for star wars weekends!
Jacob absolutely loved the characters at his birthday breakfast.. Especially Minnie!!!
Jacob was very interested in their noses.. He even got a taste of Minnie's!
He wasn't too interested in eating his cupcake.. Just wanted to figure out how to get the icing off of his fingers (without licking it)
