Ten on Tuesday: Jacob

1. Jacob's vocabulary: Mama, Dada, No, Up, and Down. He signs "more", "eat", and "drink" sometimes. Not bad considering he has two extra "mommies" speaking for him all the time.
2. He loves to crawl around and bark, like a yappy little puppy. Ruff, ruff!
3. Jacob smiles almost instantly when he sees Jamie and/or Mazie.
4. He has rediscovered Peek-A-Boo. Amost rolls laughing at the silly game. He has practically pulled my curtain down playing this game.

5. Here is our temporary gate until our new one arrives tomorrow. Jacob actually tries to get through it to get on the steps. I don't even think he is interested in the steps. He is interested in getting there.

6. He is super close to walking. I'm a little scared. He has a bunch of little bruises all over his head from letting go and forgetting that he just can't do it yet.
7. He crawls faster without his diaper. Super fast (like Hayden does regularly).
8. Jacob loves to eat (you couldn't tell?). He enjoys food. Nothing has been designated as a favorite yet. I am sure that will come soon enough. On top of all his solid food, he nurses twice a day (once in the morning and once at bed time). We are going to try bedtime without the night time nursing this weekend. He usually falls asleep before really eating anyway.
9. He finally has figured out how to use a straw. The sippy cup was only working if someone would tip it for him. He loves his little monkey cup with a straw that is attached. Sucks milk out of it like it's candy!
10. Here he is at 11 months. And, yes, my little man, handsome is an understatement!
