Since the last posting Jacob starting walking! He's into everything now. He just got over a week long illness that I felt like was never going to end. He had it all and lost some weight in the process but is now back on track. He now says ball (very clearly I might add), kitty and book (we understand him but most wouldn't),Mama, Dada, Nana, and the latest bish (for fish) He has cut two top molars and handled it well because we had no idea until I was brushing his teeth and the angle I was at I was able to catch a glimpse. He is starting to sit still longer to listen to us read to him and throws almost everything. He hasn't grasped the concept that we can throw a ball but not books/toy cars/mega blocks, so we are working on that. He started using the signs for hot and eat amongst the others that he uses so well.
We had a wonderful thanksgiving (just the three of us), we missed everyone, of course, but did our best to make it feel as traditional as possible. I made everything from scratch and we enjoyed some outside time since it was really mild. This weekend we plan to get a tree and decorate for Christmas, should be interesting, since Jacob finds it entertaining and fun to play with everything but toys. Hopefully it stays upright...I'll post pictures of the tree once it's up!
