Two for Today

Today Jacob has turned 17 months. All of his awesome milestones, sitting up, eating solids, walking, saying, "mama" have never made me really feel emotional, except really happy! But, my baby... in exactly one month, will be officially eligible for nursery. I finally understand why so many moms have a hard time leaving their kid in nursery as he/she is screaming. Jacob has been in nursery with Jon and I for many months, because we were nursery leaders. Now that we're in a different ward, he doesn't know anyone (neither do we). I know what you're thinking, what a pansy. Everyone goes through this and it's no big deal. I KNOW! I didn't think it would be that big of a deal, being that I was never emotional, as I said, about his other milestones. I know I'm totally going to be one of those moms that sits by the door, when I should be enjoying my time alone in gospel doctrine and relief society. But seriously... look at this face? What a blessing.
One of Jacob's new tricks, he climbs right into the LEGO bin and sits on top, throws LEGOs out of the bin, gets out, picks them up, puts them back, and repeats.


Jacob's new favorite thing to eat. Medium Salsa. He eats the chip when he's all done licking the salsa off of the chip.
On another note, I made these little bean bags for Jacob today during his nap time. I had some left over fabric from making burp cloths and bibs. I'm excited for him to have another quiet toy to play with in church! Woo hoo! He loves to throw these things all over the place.

Not a sissy!! That's a big step!! I can just imagine the old lady in front of you getting a frog bean bag to the back of the head!!

Oh my goodness, that comment cracked me up. I can totally imagine that happening too. They have "stadium" seating here, so it will probably hit someone 6 rows in front of us, so I guess we'll have time to duck and hide...

Jacob is pretty cute. I don't think I'd want to leave him either. Those bean bags are genius!

Love the new picture on the top! You all look so good!!! I love your hair!

Other random thoughts:

JJ had that same hat at that age. Love it!

Cute beanbags.

And JJ does the same thing with salsa. When he was in my tummy, the hotter the salsa, the better. And he has liked it since! There must be something in the genes...
