Updates

Wow! It's been a reaaaally long time since this was updated. Sorry! Jacob was a very busy baby over Christmas break. It's hard to be so popular. Jacob's first Christmas was a smashing success. Both memorable and unreasonably adorable. Who doesn't love making a baby smile?

Jacob has acquired many new skills since our last update. Let's take a look, shall we?
- Jacob can say "Stellah", "Mama", "Dada", and "Grandma".
- Jacob now eats between 3 and 4 meals a day. He eats green beans, squash, potatoes, bread, crackers, yogurt, bananas, peaches, blueberries, applesauce, Cheerios, peas, and carrots. He will also eat absolutely any food he can get his hands on. He likes french fries A LOT. He's a sneaky little food stealer.
- Jacob can now sit up straight by himself. This is excellent for us because now he can just sit next to us and play instead of being restrained by pesky baby seats.
- Jacob can crawl, but typically chooses not to. It's much easier to scream until he gets what he wants. When that isn't an option, he has no problem crawling whatsoever. Lazy baby.
- We suspect that Jacob will be walking sooner than we're ready. He can stand momentarily by himself, tries to pull himself up on everything, and every time we try to put him in any sort of seat- his rocking chair, highchair, car seat, etc- he locks his legs and tries to stand on it. He also walks around holding onto our fingers. Man, is he getting big!
- Jacob's latest and most adorable new development is dancing. Jacob has danced a few times before to Train, Van Morrison, and when Mommy sings to him, but lately it's been way more vigorous. Especially when the theme song to "Bubble Guppies", his favorite show, comes on. It's mostly bouncing up and down and randomly flailing his arms about, but it's absolutely adorable.

Well, that's all for now! Hopefully, posts will become more frequent in the future! Love, The Minasolas
