It's hard to believe he's that old. I don't know why but growing up I always thought of one year old's to be so grown up. Now that I have one I feel like he is still so little. Maybe the fact that he's not really talking much or walking has something to do with it... But he just still seems like my little baby boy. Jacob had an awesome first birthday party! We invited all the family over and I was ambitious enough to make him a monkey cake! Why a monkey you ask? Because Jacob has always been Scott and I's silly little monkey. And I think I did a great job at making his monkey cake if I do say so myself.... :) I think Jacob liked it as well. As soon as he saw it he started signing more, more, more.
Jacob loved getting his presents! Maybe more so playing with the wrapping paper and balloons. :)
Jacob dug right into the cake which didn't surprise me. He thought he was pretty cool sitting there in the middle of the floor eating his cake with everyone watching him. He's such a little show off already and loves to do things that make people laugh.
Scott and I decided to give Jacob a balance bike for his birthday and he LOVED it! He wanted to start pushing it around immediately and yelled "YA YA YA YA" over and over. It was great! He is still a little small for it but I hope with in the next month or two he will be able to use it.
Jacob is now 19 pounds 10 oz and 29 1/4" long. Which means since his birth he as gained 10 pounds 7 oz and has grown 9 1/4" tall. This past month Jacob has gotten his 6th tooth and learned how to open the toilet seat and play in the water. He still isn't walking but can now stand on his own in the middle of the floor and will take 4-5 steps on his own without anyone being around him.
He has great balance though and can stand and squat and turn his body all without falling down. Jacob loves taking bike rides in the bike trailer and throwing/kicking balls of any size. I think he's already showing athletic abilities and will be a sports player. He doesn't however like being told no and will throw little tantrums if we say it to him. His tantrums consist of gently (so he doesn't hurt himself) laying himself on the ground and then rolling around. It really just makes me laugh. When he's really mad he'll repeat the process 2 or 3 times. Jacob also loves being outside and going to the park. He loves climbing up the big slides like a monkey then sliding down all by himself on his tummy either going frontward or backward.
Jacob loves to smile and make people laugh. He such a happy little kid and we are so blessed to have his sweet spirit in our lives.
We love you Jacob!
