Look who's walking! (Belated 15 month post!)

With vacations and all of our other busy summer activities, I am behind on Jacob's 15 month post! At his last well baby check up he measured in at 23 pounds and 31.5 inches! (Roughly 50% in both categories) Jacob is starting to walk, and has taken as many as 10-12 steps, but still prefers to chase after his siblings by crawling since it is much faster! He loves to hold his siblings hands to walk. He also loves trying to escape up the stairs to our second floor. He can climb the stairs in what seems like two seconds flat if we don't have the baby gate closed.

He is trying to talk up a storm and consistently uses about a dozen words. He calls Luke "Gook", Ben is his easy name, and Grace he calls "Sis". Mama, Dada, down, NO!, shoes, trash, snack, cup, milk, more, stop, ball, and please area few of his other favorite words.

Jacob is a phenomenal sleeper! He usually takes a 3-4 hour nap in the afternoon and then sleeps from about 7:30 PM to 7:30 or 8 AM if his big sister doesn't wake him up too early! He loves giving kisses and hugs and reading books. He loves playing cars with his brothers and baby dolls with his sister. Jacob is a great eater as well, and will eat just about anything. His current favorite foods are chicken, rice, pasta, salad, cucumbers, carrots, apples, blueberries, and raspberries. Jacob is a complete charmer, and can get just about any random stranger to smile. When he sleeps or is just relaxing he always puts his hand behind his head and looks like a little man! Happy 15 months sweet Jacob!

Oh, he is so precious!!! We watched this with Jack and George and they laughed out loud at the video clip of him hammering the balls down to the cheers of his audience! And Jack said, "I just love Baby Jake!" :-) Give him kisses for us!
