Jacob has certainly become a "big boy" in the last couple of weeks. He turned TWO - it's amazing how fast those two years have gone! Jacob's personality has grown too. Here is a snapshot of what we get to enjoy each and every day.

Mom: Jakey, you how old are you?
Jacob: Um....I old.
Mom: Are you two years old?
Jacob: Um.....how 'bout five?
Mom: No, silly, you are two!
Jacob: Um....how 'bout eight?
Mom: You are two, remember your birthday party?
Jacob: BIRTHDAY PARTY?!!? Yeah, I two.

Yesterday was bye-bye-paci day. After several days of letting him know it was coming, we picked out two balloons (orange and green - Jacob's pick). We took the balloons to the park, tied paci to the balloons and.....

Paci was too heavy.

So, we ran after paci (this is a fun game, Mom!) who was floating in the wind (but not UP!) and rescued paci. Needless to say, this was NOT how we planned things. Thankfully Dad had a pocket knife on him, so we were able to do some slight modifications to paci while Jacob was distracted. Paci was much lighter, so we were able to launch paci again and watch it go "up, up, up, bye-bye".

We anticipated no sleep last night...but I am happy to report that Jacob actually went to sleep without much fussing at all. And he is still asleep as I type this at 7am! I am so thankful for my little guy who is embracing becoming a "big boy" even when it is hard. And I am also thankful for an uninterrupted night's sleep. God is good!! :)

We'll see what nap-time today brings...
