Vacation Days with Mr. Jacob

If it is quiet, he can often be found underneath the christmas tree. We have blocked the walk way with a gate to prevent missing ornaments and/or bows. He hasn't yet figured out how to open presents yet. He does know how to pull gifts from bags, though. As I was putting the clothes in the dryer, I came back to find this. Before when I'd approach him, he'd run off really fast, but now, he just continues on with what he is doing. When I pull him away, he screams. I don't know what to do sometimes... This happened when I was warming up his bottle. I had accidentally, without knowing it could possibly happen, stacked his toys in the corner to clean up the family area. Well, what did he figure out to do?? Yep, he stepped on it and pushed those white linen baskets back toward the wall. When prompted to get down, he ignored me and continued to stay there, thus allowing me enough time to grab the camera. In one of the videos below, you will see what happened after I brought him down. It's the video with him lying on the floor...pathetically whinning.

Jeremiah, as my witness, will tell you that he does not care about what we say or will do...he will continue to do what he wants to do, such as surfboarding on his toys. He is all boy!

The tantrum.

Jacob is a quick learner. He learned how to wink, just today, and will do it when asked. In the video, he also shows that he's a lizard and that he's tired. He also loves to sing and do hand movements. Enjoy!
