Jacob is still asleep, it's been 2.5 hours, so I've got a few minutes to update the blog, after much neglect.  Jacob's now 14 1/2 months old and on the go, crawling anyway.  He pulls himself up on everything and cruises a little.  He is still on his tip toes, which concerns me a little, but will stand flat footed briefly when I work with him on it.  He's babbling constantly, and sort of saying mama, dada, hi, bye, all done, up, and truck.  He doesn't use them consistently, along with his wave, but I'm giving him credit for them!  And sometimes I think he says dog.  His cuspid teeth are coming in, for a grand total of 14, with 2 more visible just below the gum.  He was up at 4:30 this morning, and not too happy, so I think they are bothering him some.  But generally he's a very happy boy.  He is sleeping well, except for the other night when he got up at 3:30!!  He's usually in bed between 7:30 and 8:30, up around 6 or 7, and takes a 3 hour nap after lunch.  Now that it's finally warmed up, we've got his pool and water table out, which he absolutely loves to play in.  He's such a water baby!  I can't wait to bring him to the beach this summer.  Which leads to our yearly debate... do we go or not?  Ted is worried about the flight.  I'm really not.  We'll get through it.  And it will be someplace new to Jacob so I don't think it will be that bad.  Maybe it's just the optimist in me coming out!

Good thing Jacob's wearing his hat and shirt... wouldn't want to get sunburned!!

Poor Pili, she can't even get a drink of water any more!

Look Mama, no hands!

Trouble!
