It's official...Jacob is walking.  All of a sudden today he was walking all over the place.  Since taking his first steps about two weeks ago, he would take a couple of steps and then decide to get down and crawl to his final destination.  Well, not today.  He started taking steps and kept going.  I could not believe it.

This morning he woke up late at almost 8am.  He had a bit of a restless night, but he wasn't too bad I was surprised that he slept in so late.  He threw a MAJOR tantrum this morning after his nap.  I think he woke up too early (because of a phone call) and when I tried putting him back to sleep he did not like that.  It was so bad Bill even came down from his office.  He was finally able to calm him down.  It was almost as if Jacob was mad at me for something.  Anyway, about 30 minutes later (and it was a crabby 30 minutes) he finally fell back asleep.  He woke up just in time to have lunch and get ready for his friends Christian and Drew to come over to play.  The boys had a great time together.  Christian and Jacob were once again laughing it up when they saw each other.  Jacob was a little mean (obviously unintentionally) to Christian.  He tried to scratch his eyeball out and then pulled his hair so hard that it made Christian cry (and he's not much of a cry baby).  When Drew arrived the boys played together for a little bit but then Christian had to go because he was getting sleepy.  Drew and Jacob played a little longer.  Of course as always with babies, when one of them got a toy, the other immediatley went and wanted to play with it.  I really hope Jacob learns to share and play well with other kids.  So far, he loves kids, but he doesn't know that sometimes when he uses them as a crutch to stand up it hurts them.  I'm hoping that the more he plays with other children the more he will learn how to play nicely.

Anyway, while the boys were here, he was walking all over the place.  It was amazing.  I finally caught the steps on video.  Two weeks and the little bugger never took a step in front of the video camera. 

Daddy gave Jacob dinner today.  Before we knew it, he had eaten an entire drumstick, a container of carrots and part of a bagel, and if we would have given him more, he would have eaten more.  Oh my goodness, he may be skinny, but the boy can eat.  It is amazing.  I guess all the walking around today made him a hungry little boy. 

Tomorrow we are going to Aiden's house to play for a little bit.  I hope Jacob plays nice there...so until next time...mommy and daddy love you!
