A new video - finally!

Sorry for the wait - we had to unpack the video camera! Jacob really likes to play in his new room. If you even *mention* the word, "play," he will grab you by the hand and drag you to his room! Then he pulls you down to the floor and says, "Play!" Once you get there, something like this is likely to happen:



We mentioned to him the other day that we were going to go see Grammy in a few weeks. Now, every day when we put him to bed, and again when he wakes up, he says, "Go see Gra?" just like he did in the last part of the video.

I'm still here!!!

Hi everyone! Sorry mommy and daddy took so long to give you all an update. It's been a busy summer and here I am in my new back yard! I like to help pick up the pine cones and make a pile :) I really like our new house and my new room. I take everyone who visits by the hand - drag them to my room and say "play!". I have all sorts of new skills lately. Each night mommy and daddy sing "Jesus Loves Me". Now I sing along with them and know almost all the words. Daddy says I can "match pitch" - whatever that means :) I can also make sentences too! If you have been around me for more than 5 minutes, you know that I LOVE doors!!! If they are open - I like to close them - if they are closed - I like to open them. The other day I told mommy and daddy "I like to close the doors!" They laughed at me so hard... I didn't understand... I am just telling them what I like to do :/

Daddy says he has a ton of things he wants to video tape me doing. So stay tuned hopefully soon. I can count to 10 and I know all my alphabet. I even sing the alphabet song. I count things all day long everywhere we go. It's fun! I also like to tell mommy what I like to eat. I tell her I like chips! I want chips with every meal. Mommy doesn't give in though. Oh well - I will keep asking for chips :)

I have a neighbor friend who is coming over today for the first time. Her name is Teegan and she's only 1 year old. I guess she'll want to play with my toys. She's a red-head too!

Last week I went to see Daddy at band camp a few times. All the kids were trying to make me play their instruments.... I dont' understand. I like footballs! :) Daddy thinks I'll be in the band -- we'll see :) I do like those drum sticks though. I tried them out on just about everything and everyone in the band room!

That's about it...Mommy apologizes for being such a slacker on the updates. Today is the first day in 3 weeks we've had a printer, desk, etc. so blogging is back to normal YAY!

Check back soon for videos (hopefully)
