Fourth anniversary... 11 month update!

Yesterday was our fourth anniversary! It's so hard to believe that it's been four years already! We celebrated by going to Outback Steakhouse! We got a few "anniversary gifts" for ourselves (a nintendo wii and a nice flat screen tv) and Josh got a massage, reflexology, and some sort of wrap spa package for me.. I get to enjoy that tomorrow!!!

Also, Jacob will be 11 months old on the 10th!! That has flown by too! He's sooo active and surprising us every day with new things he learns and says! There are a few words that he says regularly (ex: daddy, ball) and then there are words that he will repeat after he hears me say them and then he won't say them again for a while (nap, and... music! Josh and I were surprised at that one.. I asked him if he wanted to listen to his music and he repeated "music!") Today, he pointed to his cup and said "ah-duh" (water!) He loves drinking water out of a glass.. both through a straw and straight from the glass. I'm still not confident that he won't fling it yet, though, so we also use a sippy cup with a lid quite often! We still just have the two signs down for "all done" and "more." Still working on the sign for "more," but he's usually pretty good at it! Enjoy the pictures and the video!



Jacob loves the broom! I mean.. he Looooooves the broom! He loves being chased by it and trying to sweep the floor himself! He's demonstrating for the camera here...


He likes to get into the bottom drawer full of cups and bibs and inspect everything inside! (With his hands and his mouth!) He "walks" around the house by holding onto stuff but isn't quite brave enough to let go yet! I think he will be walking soon, though!


I don't remember if I wrote about the fish yet. Josh bought Jacob his own aquarium one day while I was at work! It sits on the dresser in his room. Jacob has never been a great sleeper, but he has consistently been sleeping better since he got the aquarium. I think the hum/white noise really helps!

He is getting so big. Can't decide who he looks like more. Everytime I try to leave a comment it won't let me. I guess I am an idiot. Hope you guys are doing well.
