Jacob @ 15 Months & 1st Haircut

Jacob is turning in to such a BOY now, as opposed to a little baby. He walks everywhere now, sometimes rather quickly. He also loves climbing on things. He loves to do things on his own. He gets into all sorts of mischief and loves to make people laugh. At his 15 month appointment, he weighed 22 lbs. 12 oz., not much more than he did at 7 months old! He is 32 inches tall.

Sometimes he will sit with us when we do school work and scribble for a few minutes. Mostly he likes to wander around and push his toys around the room or throw his Tinker Toys.

Abi is one of his favorite people. If she falls asleep on the couch, she is not safe from her little brother. He will continually say her name and tap her on the shoulder. He loves to wake her up. Of course her name, "A-i" sounds a lot like a lot of other words he says. It also sounds like "paci". "Daddy" also sounds like "bye-bye." His other words include "mine" and "no" and "hi."

In typical boy fashion, anything that remotely looks like a sword makes a noise. Cars also make noises, as do dinosaurs.

For now, he loves to be my helper. He loves to push around his little vacuum. He sits on the dishwasher when I'm unloading it and throws the silverware out. He also likes dusting and rearranging furniture.

This past Monday, on the 19th, he got his first haircut. It was getting a little long in the back, so it was time. We went to the lady that usually does Brett & Andrew's hair and she was so good with him. He was fascinated enough with the process that he sat still and smiled the whole time. Brett held him and he thought he was so big to be like Daddy.

I think it tickled him when she was trimming the back. He got excited.

He and Daddy have a special little bond. Jacob likes to click his tongue and Brett will click back at him like their own little language.

I mean, come on, how cute is this kid?
