Jacob's First Haircut

BOO HOO! The time finally came to have to cut Jacob's hair. He had these cute little 'wings', but the killer was his hair getting into his eyes. So, Christina, his day care provider, who used to be a hair cutter, cut it today.

He also turned 15 months old yesterday, so I guess it's a time for some major milestones. First off, he said nye-nye the night before last for the first time, as he was crawling up the stairs to walk to bed, the whole thing is totally amazing to me. We ask him if he's ready for nye-nye and he walks to the fence and tries to open it. We change have some milk and lay him in bed and off he goes, it's so nice! Speaking of bed time routines, tonight was the first night with out bottle, so we are now BOTTLE FREE!! Go Jacob.

He loves shoes and bikes and his push cars lately, it's so fun to see his playing develop. He will play by himself for 15-20 minutes at a time, it's cool just to watch him. He seems to be so smart, but I'm sure everyone's children seem amazingly smart to them:) He also loves to sweep and vacuum, hopefully that will continue.

The other day, he found Ethan's shin guards and brought them to me to put on, he sat down and put out his leg, he knew where they went, so I put them on and he walked around the house for a few hours looking like a hockey goalie, it was funny.
Ehtan's soccer game was awesome this past weekend, they did great, and Ethan was super aggressive and amazing. We are really enjoying the games.
Tomorrow we start our volunteering at Community House - which is a house for single pregnant women. We will be doing whatever is needed - I'll send updates, we're excited to do some service.

What a big boy! Their little minds never cease to amaze me. About three weeks ago Michael took an empty snack cup into the kitched and shoved it over the counter and in to the sink. I certainly never taught him that - but he is obviously soaking everything in. It is all going too fast - I am sure you can relate!!

Hugs,
