13 months!

Today Jacob is 13 months! Oh my! Sorry I haven't updated in a while. Jacob keeps me EXTREMELY busy! Any free time I have goes to paying bills, cleaning house, taking care of the dogs, or any of the million things it seems like I have to do.

Jacob is doing good. We have been battling ear infections lately. He's had two in the last month. And to top that off, he's gotten all four of his back molars in. So he's been having a rough month. Hopefully things will turn around soon. He walks like a champ now, and is hard to keep still. He is on the go all the time! He's a typical little boy and wants to bang all his toys around and loves to climb on anything! He's learned how to climb on couches and chairs. I'm sure he will try to climb out of his crib next.

I am starting to tackle the hard battle of getting rid of the binki (paci). I would love to get rid of it before Aaron comes back. We went to Jacob's 1 yr check up last week and the doctor was a little worried because Jacob doesn't use many words. He will say mama or dada from time to time. But doesn't use it on a daily basis. From what I have read online and in magazines, the binki can hinder speach. He babbles all the time, but doesn't use many words. He is very good at understanding everything I say. So I am working very hard with him now to use words. I have seen a pretty good improvement in just the last week. So I know he is very capable of talking!
