teething, crawling, christmas....what's next?

just a little update on the progress of this boy who is growing up faster than we can believe... jacob is officially crawling. not Indy 500 crawling, but he gets around, nonetheless. he can do them all: army crawl, bear crawl, and regular crawl, but not all at once, and not all in the same day. he likes to mix it up a bit. :)

and after 4 or 5 nights of jacob waking up at 1 in the morning, crying like no other, and waking up way too early from every single nap, i finally figured out why...we have a tooth! well... it's trying to come up, but not all the way there yet. i love it when i can figure out the reason for his unusual behavior. thank you Lord for giving me wisdom...most of the time!

and we finally got a good shot for his Christmas picture. we decided not to include jackson...it was just too much to ask of them both!



and some of the runners-up:

rachael: expert- not so much. i like to call it trial-and-error, or more like "supernatural parenting wisdome from God". :) i can't believe just 5 more weeks!!
