one-and-a-half

I don't know where time went, how is it that this kid is one-and-a-half? When I see pictures of him I think he looks even older and it makes me so sad. It's so fun to watch him grow and learn new things, but I want it to go by s l o w e r.
A little update of what Jacoby has been up to. Sorry if this is boring to some of you, but I want to remember these things about him.


Jacoby will WAVE to anyone that waves to him. He also waves when him and I are leaving the house and Tyler isn't even there. I suppose he's waving to the house. He even waves to the car when we go into a store. Loves BALLS. Hates having his HAIR WASHED. He's already wanting to be a stinky boy. Just kidding, Cob! Loves to carry my DUMBBELLS around. Gives good HUGS and KISSES. CLAPS for himself constantly, yes, he's a little cocky. Started going to NURSERY. Very TALL and SKINNY. Doesn't like going shopping with me anymore.


Loves guacamole. Who doesn't? One of the three veggies he eats.

Always wants to feed himself, but is getting better at it. Always leaves a big mess for me though. :)

Took another tumble and hurt his eye and cheek.

Still takes a good 3-4 nap each day.

Sleeps well at night.

seven days of outfits

This is probably not a very exciting post for most people besides Jacoby's grandmas, but I got this template with the days of the week and got the idea to take pictures of Jacoby's outfit everyday for a week. These are some of my favorite clothes, too. He started to figure out what I wanted him to do everday I took the camera out and would stand up next to the wall in the same place. Man, I've trained him well.

Completely Obsessed

Jacoby is completely obsessed with shooting baskets. One day after he began walking I pulled the basketball hoop in the picture below out into our family room to see if he would be interested in it yet, and he was instantly hooked. He always stood on our trunk that we use as a coffee table in our family room and so I thought it would be good to get him a stool to stand on. It's pretty cute because when he misses he says, "Oh!" Also, when he's feeling lazy he points to the ball and wants me to fetch it for him. (I usually ignore this.) When he makes it he dances around and claps for himself. He has a couple other little hoops that he also loves to play with. Tyler's parent's have a little hoop that Jacoby is always so excited to go play with, too.

While Jacoby is obsessed with basketball, I'm obsessed with scrapbooking. It works out well for both of us, while he's shooting hoops, I'm doing this:

On Designer Digitals, where I do my digital scrapbooking, they are having a challenge where you do pages about yourself. I'm excited to do this because I hardly ever do any pages about me. This will be like a journal for me and something to save for my family to look at. This is my first page with little tidbits about me.
