Oh boy....has Jacob learned the joys of eating junk food. Jonathan and I are having so much fun watching Jacob enjoy the comforts of grilled cheese and spaghetti. I try not to cringe when Jacob reaches for me covered in food goo....but I can't help myself. At least I am learning to relax a bit as I watch my kitchen table get smeared with all kinds of food debris and drool. But, never the less, Jacob is getting to experience the finer things in life....REAL FOOD!!!!
Not only has it been fun to watch Jacob enjoy the food on Mommy and Daddy's plate but it has also been fun to watch him crawling all over the house. I sit and wonder sometimes what he is thinking when he is off scurrying across the room. For the first time this weekend Jacob was able to pull himself up and play with the telephone. So if your phone happens to ring and all you here is some squealing, you know who it is...
And, an update on Jacob's health: Jacob is doing SO MUCH BETTER!!! He is still waking between 4-5 am with coughing spells but in general, he is doing remarkable well considering it has only been a week since our terrible asthma/pneumonia scare. I watched him PLAY HARD for hours today at TuTu and Pop's house and was just amazed at the joy this little guy has for simple things like little dogs and jingle bells. Jacob has such a fun-filled spirit and unfortuately, it has been dampered by illness for 2 months. But I'm so hopeful that we are getting on top of his health issues as he is really enjoying the art of play.
Well I'm sure most of you know the miracle that happened this week as it snowed more than an inch here in Texas. In fact, we had a record snowfall of 12.5 inches and needless to say, it brought out the kid in all of us. So of course we had to take Jacob out to play in the snow for a few minutes as Mommy was still freaked out that Jacob was recovering from pneumonia, but I think he enjoyed the few moments we gave him. And yes, Rebel and Ace loved playing in the winter weather as well. My carpet is ready for sunny days however!!!
We've learned that Jacob (like his Daddy), is very determined and somewhat stubborn because if he wants something he is going to try and try until he gets it. We are anxiously awaiting what fun adventures this determination will bring, but either way it should give us plenty to blog about...
