In just a couple of days Jacob will turn 10 months old. It's just incredible how much he has grown and how much he has learned. You can literally see him learning. It's just fascinating that you can sit there and watch him as he figures out if he bangs two things together it makes a loud sound or that he can transfer an item from one hand to the other. His eyes light up when he discovers something new. I've also discovered Jacob is like his mommy. He likes things the way he wants them. He has a new toy and i moved one of the "people" and Jacob threw a tantrum until I put it back where he had it. He also loves his uncle Matt (mostly because he throws him around) but Matt's been sick the last week so I forbade him from picking Jacob up. Jacob was so happy to see Matt until he realized Matt was not going to throw him around and Jacob actually started to cry when he came to that realization. He NEVER cries just to cry. The only time Jacob cries is when he's hungry or sleepy. So he's starting to express himself. It's so cool, if not a little loud.
Although sometimes I think I want him to stay small for ever I love watching him grow.

9 months old
Jacob is now 9 months old. I can't believe how fast time flies. I look back at pictures of him in the hospital and can't believe he was so small. He is now 15 lbs 10 oz and 25.9 inches long. We finally made it onto the growth chart!! Albeit we are in the 10% bracket, we finally made.
Mr. Jacob has proven to be a costly baby. I am not just talking about his hospital stay but now even his eating habits. I am convinced that he is allergic to Gerber baby food. Every time I've fed it to him regardless of what kind of food he breaks out in a rash. Gerber has a monopoly on the baby food items. Target only carries one other brand and it's pretty pathetic the shelf space it gets compared to Gerber. So we are now eating organic baby food and so far so good. I won't be surprised if when Jacob gets older he'll tell me he will only eat grass fed beef and locally grown fruits and veggies. My little man the diva.
Since I've been back to work Jacob has also made so much progress and is really a little man. He can sit by himself for a few minutes and can catch himself if he starts to fall over. We still have to watch him because he's taken a couple of head dives into the hardwood floors, but that's to be expected. Jacob also really wants to crawl but can't quite coordinate the lifting of the butt and the lifting of the head. If his butt goes up his head goes down, or he's still trying to suck on his hand while trying to push himself forward. I'm half expecting to come home from work and finding him running around in circles.
