Gettin' The Hang Of It

Jacob is catching on and figuring our more things all the time as most little ones will and do. You will now find on occasion and becoming more frequent, Jacob waving Hi! He doesn't get the waving goodbye, but he doesn't like us leaving him anyway and probably is just refusing to... ;)! While mowing the lawn and doing yardwork, Jacob was going around the house to various windows and doors to find me. He would almost always wave when I would wave to him and sometimes even wave without me.

Aside from the waving, Jacob is now clapping on his and has been for a little bit. He sometimes gets really wound up, so much that you would think he was getting the biggest thrill of his life. Of course, the three of us clap and laugh along with him which keeps him excited.

On a downer note, Jacob woke up during the night for a first time in a while. Usually, he would go right back to sleep, but this it wasn't the case last night. He settled down at first and then couldn't really be consoled. Then his crying/screaming turned into what sounded like he was hurting, so we gave him some motrin. This helped, but didn't do the trick, so Amy was up with him the rest of the night. With only about 3 hours of sleep for the night, Jacob was a little cranky today (did get a morning nap and was then up the rest of the day), but really enjoyed driving the opposition's car while at Lowes. I guess Jimmy can be all bad for those NASCAR fans, after all, he did help us to move up in the standings this week... I heard from Amy that Jacob was quite a hit in the store as he was driving the car like a mack truck and driving both wheels as he was gleaming from to ear to ear and having the time of his life! So what started off as a downer in the early morning hours turned into a fun day... Well, Amy is totally wiped out, but Jacob hada good time... :D!

I'm so jealous... I think I might have to come up with a new project just so I can push Jacob around in the car/cart. Might have to go to the competitor and try out that orange 20 though... Just to check out the competition... ;)
