Busy Jacob

It has been a busy few weeks for us and Jacob.  Jacob got his first haircut (middle picture). I think that now he looks like a real little boy instead of just a baby.  Over the past weekend, Jacob decided to start walking pretty much full time.  He crawls only to get himself to something that he can pull himself up on.  Jacob has also discovered how to "pet" Abby and Max and loves to pat them all the time.  Abby is really good with Jacob and lets him crawl all over her.  Max, on the other hand, is constantly trying to avoid Jacob.  Max isn't mean or anything, he just doesn't want to be bothered.  

Here are just a few pictures of our busy guy.

Clean Hands

I took this video a few weeks ago and I couldn't resist showing all of you Jacob's favorite way to clean his hands after a meal.

Walking fool

Jacob started walking.  He has been taking a few steps since early September, but now he can walk pretty well...that is, when he wants to.  He seems to walk the best for his Grandma Peterson and has even walked all the way down her entry way hall (about 82 steps).  He walks the best when he has someone to cheer him on, but I know it won't be long before he is cruising around the house and getting into more mischief than he already does.  I'll post some pictures soon.

Yesterday, we took him to Target and let him walk around (holding our finger).  He thought it was great to try and grab everything off the shelves and be (somewhat) independent.  

What a crazy cute kid.  Also, he is doing really well.  He hasn't had any wheezing for about a week and hasn't shown any other symptoms.  Hopefully, he is over whatever was bugging him.
