The Light of my Life

This crazy little guy is 9 months old today.  Jacob has been heaven sent from the moment we found out we were pregnant.  I can't believe how good, sweet and loving his little spirit is.  He's full of fun, always wanting to play and get into everything.  He still fights naps every time we lay him in bed, especially now that he can pull himself up and stand there waiting for us all the while screaming at the top of his lungs.  Its actually really funny, when I'm in the right frame of mind that is.  And he still only naps for 20-30 min at a time.  That's really the only time we ever see a glimpse of temper from this boy.
Night time is so much better!  He's in bed at 8 and sleeps almost all night.  He still wakes up once around 6am to eat but I can't complain since he usually goes right back to bed and these are truly some of the sweetest and most loving moments I get with him.



Jacob is crawling everywhere on hands and knees, pulls himself up onto anything and walks along coffee tables, chairs, anything within arms reach.  He's constantly making Tom and nervous and is always coming up w/ some new bump or bruise to show for it.  I think that Tom might be worried about if I actually watch him during the day. :)



He has 5 teeth right in front and LOVES to bite!  Ouch!



He's a total social butterfly.  He LOVES people, any people, all people...anyone who will pay attention to him!  He loves when we leave the house and just watches everything around him.
I truly can't believe how much my life has changed.  Every aspect revolves around him and I wouldn't have it any other way.  My heart could burst with the love I feel for this sweet little man and I'm trying to soak it all in.  I feel sad when I think that 9 months have already passed and that I've already forgotten so much.  But I truly look forward to every new adventure that awaits our little family.
