It is hard to believe, but our miracle baby turned 1 on Monday! And I as I had anticipated, it was very difficult to take a picture of him next to his elephant.
Care to see the outtakes from this photo shoot?

I haven't decided if at some point in the future I will take more pictures of him next to his elephant, but it will definitely no longer be a monthly thing. Can't you see Jacob as a 15 year old next to his blue elephant? :)Jacob's well-check visit isn't until tomorrow so we don't have stats yet.
At 1 year old Jacob can:
- Crawl way too fast
- Cruise all over the place (which he prefers to crawling)
- Pull himself up and let go, balancing on his own for a few seconds
- Crawl halfway through the doggy door, getting himself stuck
- Climb up the stairs (he has been able to do this for a couple months, but wasn't all that interested until last week)
Jacob loves:
- Colby (our dog, in case you didn't know)
- Playing with Colby's food
- Taking a bath
- Watching Here Come the ABC's, Here Come the 123's and Here Comes Science (we are teaching him early how great They Might Be Giants are)
- Playing with Daddy
- Trying to play with electronics (just like Daddy)
- Looking out the window
Jacob doesn't like:
- Baby food, including oatmeal and rice cereal that he used to eat
- Getting dressed, especially putting socks and shoes on
- Being in a rear facing car seat (we have our fingers crossed that we find out tomorrow he is big enough to turn around in his brand new front-facing seat)
- Staying still during church
- When we move Colby's food so Jacob can't reach it
- When we raise the blinds so he can't pull on them as he looks out the window
Things I thought Jacob would be able to do when he was 1 since every other kid I see can:
- Eat food without gagging and choking
- Drink from a sippy cup on his own (he hasn't clued in on the fact that you have to tilt it up to get anything besides air)
- Makes the sounds Mama and Dada (even if he doesn't know that is who we are)
It is hard to believe that only a year ago Jacob joined our family!

What a wonderful posting! Love all the pictures.
It's so hard to believe that he was in the NICU a year ago and how much he has grown. So thankful that he did not have the complications that most preemies have.
What a blessing he is! Loved seeing you all at his birthday party.

I just love the doggie-door pictures. What a cute little boy.
This is such a great post! I absolutely love the outtakes! I am cracking up at how busy Jacob is! I love these last two pics showing his little busy body self! he is so amazing. It's just insane how fast the first year goes and their developmental-exponential growth! Keep enjoying him! He is such a fabulous miracle!
I can't believe how that elephant has shrunk! Loved all the updates. The shot of him stuck in the doggie door made me laugh. Love, Mom
