This morning Jacob was a little pain in the rear!  From the moment we woke up to the moment we went to stroller strides he was pretty much crying!  UGH...quite annoying.  He was a very good boy during our workout though (YEAH!).  He was almost asleep when we got home from our workout and playing at the park.  I got him out of his carseat and he made sure to grab his toy train.  I layed him in his crib and then took the train away.  He immediately sat up and pointed to his train.  I gave it back to him and he fell asleep with his train!  I must admit, it was really adorable.  He's never really fallen asleep with anything in his hand.  I wouldn't have minded him sleeping with it, except that it's VERY HARD!  I wonder why he's never really gotten attached to any stuffies?

Later in the afternoon we were outside playing in the front yard and the garage.  Jacob walked over to our bikes and said "bike!"  Then we were at Target getting some odds and ends and we passed by some bouncy balls and guess what he said?  Yep, "ball"  well it was more like "ba" but it was definitely his version of ball.  Okay so do we have a little boy or what...his only words thus far are "water," "truck," "bike" and "ball"  I mean really, can we add "book" in there too?  Please!?!?!  Every day when we read books I am constantly saying "book, book, book, now say book" but no, he hears us say "truck" and "bike" a few times and picks those words to say first.  I have a feeling homework time in our house is going to be a struggle!  I guess all my education courses are going to come in hand then!  I believe my master's thesis was on something about motivation and education...maybe God was already preparing me for Jacob :) 

This evening at dinner we had some music playing in the background and Jacob and daddy were shaking their heads in unison to the beat of the song.  It was so cute that I had to get the video camera out and tape it.  I don't know how to add video on here otherwise you would see the video of it.

Jacob now has a total of 10 teeth.  ACtually, he has 9 1/2.  He broke his right top molar sometime last week and his top left molar is just about broken through now.  You can only see them when he is screaming his head off while laying down, which is quite often, so we get plenty of looks at them!  I am hoping this is the reason for all the crying and whining and waking up at night.  I can't wait until all his teeth are in...maybe then we will get to sleep through the night!  So I hope we get to sleep tonight...we'll see.  So until next time...mommy and daddy love you!
