Some things are only cute when you're a baby

Did I mention Jacob likes to eat?

A Visit

Our good friend Derek came out from Kansas City to visit over President's Day weekend. We had some good times, one of which was a trip to Lititz to the Sturgis pretzel factory (the first pretzel factory in the U.S.) and the Wilbur's chocolate factory which is conveniently located 5 or so blocks from the pretzel factory. We all had a blast (especially Jacob). Aunt Shana, Uncle Mike, Aunt Abby and Aunt Bekah also went on the trip. At the pretzel factory everyone got a chance to practice their pretzel twisting skills. As you can see from the pics, Jake was a natural.

Tickle Tickle

Recently Jacob has become extremely verbal. His vocabulary has exploded and he seems to be learning new words every day including: please, more, all done, milk, cheerios, banana, bread, cheese, chicken, rice, moon, outside, car, socks, shoes, pretzel, blankie, water, food, book, truck, train, phone, movie, nose, eyes, mouth, ears, belly, pinch, chair, yucky...you get the picture (I could be at this all day). However, my favorite so far is when Jacob says "tickle tickle" with a smile on his face which means "please tickle me Mommy". The little guys loves being tickled, especially before bedtime when he gets really silly. It would seem he is not like his mother in all things.

For Aunt Abby

Yes the slippers you made for baby Jacob fit :)

Cheeky Little Bugger

But oh so cute.
