Favorite Random Pictures

Below are some of my favorite pictures from this month.
Jacob has never fallen asleep anywhere but his crib and the car. The little stinker refused to take a nap today and crashed at 4pm on his little couch. Poor guy! Just couldn't take it any more.

Jacob sees us sitting on the couch and putting our feet on the table. I guess this is the modified version - when your legs are less than 2 feet long, you have to modify the technique a bit : ) He is watching his favorite show (YoGabaGaba).

I think he looks so grown up in this picture!

He has seen this done a few times. Say cheeeeeeeeeeese!

Jacob turns 20 Months Old!

Just 4 months away from 2 years old! The time is flying by. I have noticed a big change from 19 to 20 months.
He is talking a lot more... His favorite word is Cookie - it is actually more like CAAACAAAAA! He screams it every time we enter the grocery store as we approach the bakery counter for his free cookie (daily!).
His favorite "toy" right now is our iphones. He knows more about my phone than I do. He likes to search youtube for videos of himself and YoGabaGaba. We have a few apps download for him (he loves sponge bob and the whoopie cushion). He occasionally makes a call or two to keep in touch with family. Good thing we don't have family in China!
If there is one thing Jacob is full of, it is personality. He keeps me smiling (and laughing hysterically) every day.
Below are some pictures from his 20 month "birthday". We spent the day at Quail Botanical Gardens with his best friend Jack.

Playdate at Auntie Kat's

Below are my favorite pictures from our playdate at Kathleens. Jacob had a blast with all of the other kids. As you can see below - he can not resist a big "cheese face" when the camera is out. Kat's sister Deanna made these amazing cupcakes (show-off!).

Quail Botanical Gardens

This place has become one of our favorite spots to visit. It is like the best kept secret (I almost hate sharing!). The children's gardens are perfect for tots. Jacob loves running in and out of the creek bed at the newest garden... there are giant chalk boards, art stations, forts and fun trails around the plants. The original children's garden has a train, sand pit with dinasoars, water features, a playhouse with books to read - they do story time and craft time. It is just a wonderful place to visit. Here are a few pictures of our last trip.
Oh yeah... I did learn one thing. After playing in the creek bed, change the swim diaper immediately - poop in a swim diaper brings poop to a whole nother level! Let's just say my car, stroller and clothes may never recover.

Jacob's New Hat

During our weekend trip to Walmart, Jacob came across this hat. He put it on his head and wore it for the rest of our shopping day. Of course... we had to take it home. He wears it every chance he gets. Occasionally he likes to wear it sideways.
