Jacob's First Holiday Program

Here you go:

Jacob's New Bed and New School

Jacob will be starting "school" next week. He's going to Kinder Garden DayCare. It seems like a nice daycare/school. They do a lot of interactions with the kids and Jacob will be exposed to a lot of new things. Plus, he will get to hang out with a lot of kids his age. It should be a good thing.

So, the other day, Jacob went down for a nap. After about an hour we could hear him moaning and starting to wake up. A few minutes later, the floor above our head gave a loud "thump!". I walked upstairs and opened the door, and Jacob was standing there with a look like "I did it!". He had flipped out of his crib, which is about 4-5 feet above the ground.

So, combined with the fact the he can now escape the crib and the fact that he will be napping in a cot at daycare, we decided to move him to a "big boy" bed. We got him backyardigans sheets and pillowcases, so he loves that part. He does cry when we put him down, now. We're only on day 2, though. He's actually doing pretty well. He was hilarious that first morning when he woke up in his new bed. He was looking around like he had no idea what was going on.

Jacob's Favorite Song

This is hilarious. Whenever Sarah sing "All By Myself", Jacob runs over and starts running in place. We assume this is him dancing. He will not do this to any other song! We will have to try a recorded version and see if he responds.

This moment was brought to you by Backyardigans.
Only the greatest show in the world (at least according to Jacob).

Jacob Update: What pacifier?

Jacob is 40 hours into his binky (pacifier) - free lifestyle. All is going well. The reason for the cold turkey method: he bit off the rubber piece on three of his pacifiers.

Jacob Update: The Couch

Ok, he can now get up on the couch by himself. He also tries to climb over the back.

Great.

Jacob Update: Can of Mushrooms + Big Toe + Gravity = Big Booboo

Needless to say, Jacob and a can of mushrooms had an encounter. The mushrooms won. At least they got in the first punch. A few tears later and we have a black toe.

Jacob Update: Warcraft

Jacob, my future World of Warcraft buddy. What do you think, Blood Elf?

Jacob Update: Sliding

Ok, so Jacob officially loves the slides at the park. He can now go down them on his own. Right before he slides down, he gets a smirk on his face. Sarah says he's getting ready for the tummy tickling ride.

On a side note, he also likes to put a bucket on his head and wants you to knock on it. Should I be worried?
