Look At Me

As I mentioned last week, Jacob has been practicing pulling himself up to pretty much anything he can reach. He's getting more and more brave as he's started letting go with one hand and now with two every once in a while. He's also figured out that if he keeps his legs stiff when we go to sit him on the floor, it's more difficult for us to make him sit. He'd rather stand! I've posted a few pictures Scott has taken over a couple of mornings this week. While Scott takes a shower, Jacob hangs out in the Pack-n-Play and watches Baby Einstein (yes, we've heard all the news on it lately). Most often he's standing and gnawing on the side of it. As you can tell from the dopey eyes in the pictures, Jacob has not gotten much better about sleeping at night. Most nights I get woken up sometime between 2 and 4 by a screaming at the top of his lungs, Jacob. I give him a bottle in his crib and he goes right back to sleep. Last night, however, we went to the football game (I wish I would have had my camera!!) and he didn't get to bed until about ten. He didn't wake up until 6:30 this morning. YAY!!!
Also, I thought I should inform you that Jacob is getting his two eye teeth! He doesn't have any others besides his first two middle ones on the bottom. So, maybe a vampire would be the proper choice for a Halloween costume! Just kidding, I couldn't dress my kid as a vampire!
