Does time move as fast for everyone else as it seems to for me? Jacob is a very active 8 month old...as you will see! He continues to grow and scream and eat then grow, scream and eat some more with an occasional bowel movement thrown in for good measure. He has mastered quite a few words, like Da-Da and AAGGGHHHHHHHHHH! Oh yes, as his mother, I am more proud than you could ever know. One day he may actually acknowledge my existence or who actually grew & delivered him to the world, but right now he is all about his DADDY! He constantly reaches for him, wants to play with him and laughs with him. We love our weekends and have been slack with the camera - sorry, folks. We did get to visit with the family a couple of weekend ago to celebrate Grampa Baur's birthday and it took him awhile, but he got the hang of the cousin thing. In fact, he loved Andrew and gave him plenty of hugs, he loved Emma for giving him Ritz crackers (yea, thanks, Emma) and he loved Mary Mac for trying to help him learn to drive the car/walker! Never a dull moment with those three around and I think Jake just liked watching them and trying to keep up with them - with his eyes only, of course. No crawling, yet, but he has to defy gravity in a single bound almost with those thighs holding him down! He loves his new walker (more about that later) and has become a terror in that thing - and discovered he can open cabinets and drawers - needless to say the baby-proofing has begun. Hope you enjoy these pictures and videos - we will try and get more pictures...if we remember to take the camera....
Jacob and I braved our first birthday party together as my friend Lauryn's son, Braden, turned one. Needless to say, Jake did not enjoy the other kids as much as I did and definitely didn't want his picture taken with the other babies.

Jacob Loves his new Jeep - and running over the dog...
My new hats - it seems I like the Braves and Pirates...not the baseball team, the other pirates.
Sorry, Andy did this and didn't realize you can't turn the camera when shooting video, but hang in there - the kisses are worth it...
