We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday season. Jacob certainly did. We think he has just about everything that Fisher Price makes now.....and he's working on Playskool.
The holidays have been very good, and very busy for us. We did Christmas at our house for the first time this year, which was really important to us as we try to start our own traditions for Jacob. Thankfully, all of our parents were still able to make it down at some point as well. Be sure to check out the website for a bunch of new pictures from the last week or so.
On Saturday, we did a little bit the DC tourist thing and went on a tour of the Capitol and then visited the Newseum. Both were really cool, especially with the Capitol's new visitor's center and the Newseum with a huge new location on Pennsylvania Avenue. While at the Newseum, Courtney and Jacob filmed their own live report from Nationals Park. Check out the video:

Ho, Ho, Ho!
Jacob thought this was hilarious. Seriously, we got him to crack up at this all day. Maybe he was just in a really good mood, maybe we were just really funny that day. It'll be interesting to see if he'll still think this is funny tomorrow.

Mobility
We are on the move people! By we, I of course mean Jacob! He has been SO close to actually crawling for over a month now and finally he put all the pieces together and is moving. Grant it, he only goes about 3-4 "steps" until he gives in and army crawls the rest of the way. Still though, he is moving and growing up so very very fast.
Also today, his daycare told me that when she went in to the room to get him up from his nap, there he was standing and holding onto the rail of his crib. Just as soon as the crawling came, so did the interest in what else he could do and he's been trying to pull himself up on things at home too. He hasn't actually done it by himself but I can attribute to that without being to wrap his hands around something to pull on (like a crib rail) it's otherwise very tough. He can't pull up on his crib at home because we have a bumper and we also lowered his mattress. We are still one step, er crawl, ahead of him : )
And now, the evidence!
