We are still here. Jacob keeps me busy. He wakes up going 60mph. He is so much fun. I keep his toys in a basket in the family room. I have been on the computer in the living room and just watched him dump his toys, load the basket up with different toys, push it across the house to the living room and empty it again. Now to teach him how to clean up his mess....
Jacob is doing good. He is still a GREAT sleeper. If we have him up past his bedtime (7pm) he constantly asks to go "night-night".
We took him to his first football game last night. It was Apopka High School's homecoming. We lasted to half-way through the second quarter before we had to leave. I was hoping to make it till half-time, but oh well. Cheap night out!
We are busy, busy busy. I'm sure I have some pictures I need to put up. I keep posting videos on my facebook, but they never seem to make it on here so here they are (I put the link in case the video has trouble playing):

Work and Blog
I have been busy, busy, busy with work lately. Now that my HUGE project is done, I find myself at a loss of what to do. I have lots to do that I had to put off, but it is odd to have so much time.
I have been hard at work at the redo of our publishing website. Check it out: http://www.NewBookPublishing.com
I am also writing a blog for work. We are hosting it on blogger and then feeding it into a page on our NBP site. Check it out: http://growupward.blogspot.com/

dear daddy
dear daddy,
i had the best day with my mommy today. i started the day with lots of coughing in my bed, but once I got up I had no more coughs.
I was so excited to spend the day with mommy. she wanted to get some work done, but i wanted to be with her. she would take a break from work and we would play with my cars. she would then sneak away and work some more. eventually i convinced her to stop working and play with me.
we played with blocks and then she read me 4 books. she made me fish sticks for lunch that were really yummy and then put me down for a nap. i thought that if i slept good that maybe she would play with me more when i got up.
when i got up, i worked really hard to be nice so she wouldn't put me in time out. i haven't been in since i got up, which is good because i spent a lot of time in there this morning, but i think i was just extra tired and cranky.
after my nap, she took me on a walk. it was really hot so we only walked for 30min. i did good. i ate goldfish and drank my water.
when we got home she left me in my stroller and started messing with something. i didn't know what she was doing so i just kept eating my fish.
she pulled out this funny looking thing and attached the hose to it! she took off my shorts and put me in it. it sprayed water on me. i didn't know what to think at first, but then i got brave and started playing in it. i liked it a lot.
i kept getting mommy wet. i got totally soaked, but i didn't mind. then she got out my pool and put water in that. i liked that a lot. then she put the funny looking thing in there and it sprayed me with more water and i liked that more.
i was very brave today. you know how i am with water. i had so much fun. we played outside for a long time.
then mommy took me in and let me shower with her. i didn't know what to think. i was a little upset cause she made me walk through the house with my soaked diaper on and that bothered me. i kept saying "diaper" until she took it off (don't worry, i got her back and went pee on her in the shower).
i got brave in the shower and mommy sat on the floor and played with me. i kept walking into the water and wasn't scared at all!
thank you so much for working so hard so that i can have fun days like this with my mommy. i love you!

The things I say...
This is Jacob. My mommy has been posting a lot, but she forgot a few stories.
Last night my Gramma put me to bed (mommy and daddy were playing at Aunt Sheila's house with the young marrieds). Gramma asked me if I wanted her to rub my back when she put me in my crib. I said "want to go night-night". I love night-night!
I told my mommy and mommy (lately all I call daddy is mommy) at a restaurant that "I want to co-co" which means "I want to color". It was my first complete sentence!
When I cry or have something in my eyes, I say "eyes, eyes" so that my mommy wipes them. When my nose runs, I say "nose" and my mommy wipes that. I like to be clean.
When my mommy puts me in time out (which I'm spending a lot of time in lately) she lets me sit there a few minutes and then comes and talks to me about what I did to get put there. She always tells me to say "sorry" and I say "please" instead. She tells me to say "please" all of the time so I think it is perfectly applicable in this situation. She can't get everything she wants (just don't tell her I said that)!
I'm not completely sure yet, but I might be teething. That would make mommy so happy because that would give somewhat of a reason for all of my bad attitudes. I'll keep you posted on what happens in my mouth. For now I have to go because my nose is running...

Even more videos of Jacob
You can tell I'm really playing catch up...
I love how he says "hello".
Jacob has started pretending. It is so much fun to watch him. His favorite thing to pretend is that he is eating or drinking. During one of his more fussy days (and what I mean by fussy days is that he basically pitched a fit all day), I gave him a spoon and bowl to "cook" while I was cooking and couldn't hold him. He was too cute with it!
This kid loves to dance!

Random Jacob Pictures
He likes to get into the pantry and get the raisins out. He sits down, takes the lid off and eats them. I guess he is concerned about being regular (and trust me, he has nothing to be concerned about!).
This is his praying face. It is too funny. I think he makes it because I half-away close my eyes so that I can watch him when we pray (because he is a funny kid) and I think he is just mimicking what he sees.
That is one way to play with a dump truck...sit on it!
He loves dinosaurs!
He went to bed with wet hair one night, and greeted me like this in the morning.

More videos of Jacob
I love his laugh!
This kid loves to dance. He was dancing to the music in his head.
This is his "I'm too cool for school" dance. It is the typical Jacob dance (minus the bugger).
You have to listen hard for this one. He is snoring! It was just too cute that I couldn't help myself. We were on the way home from youth and he was so tired.
