9 Months Old Already!

Mr. Jacob is now 9 months old. I can't believe the time has flown by so quickly. This time last year I was counting down the days because I was tired of being pregnant. I couldn't wish fall here any faster and this year I am so sad that it is getting closer and closer to him turning 1 years old. As you can see from this picture, he is a mobile kid and learning things every second of the day. Yes he can get around crawling and quickly learned how to get up on his feet and hang on to everything. Now he thinks he is so big and brave because he takes one hand off and moves away like he is going to just take off walking. It hasn't happened yet but I believe it won't be long. He is so much fun though. The kids have fun with him and are learning quickly to pick their things up or Jacob will get them. I definitely have to keep my eye on him because he tends to get into everything. I just can't believe how quickly he can move. One minute he is over at his toys in the living room and the next minute I see his feet slip into the bathroom down the hall to explore. I love him to pieces and can't get enough of him. This is the first child of mine that I actually think looks like me. When Jacob smiles, I can see my baby pictures in him. I really can see my dad in him and my mom says I looked a lot like my dad when I was little. I am so grateful for this little guy!

This is just a funny video of him and his crawling. He was chasing this ball around while using just his head. Matthew is the one laughing in the background.
