Life These Days
Things are going well around here.
Jakob is walking, Anders is doing gymnastics,
both boys are happy
and all is well.
We were in Lake George yesterday and Anna snapped this shot of Anders and I think it's beautiful. We have had lots of good family time together and that really brings plenty of joy for everyone, as well as stability and fun. We've had lots of fun lately.

It's amazing really, and something to notice when it all seems to be running smoothly. The whiny tone has diminished, the independence has risen, the joie de vivre has increased for all of us, and life goes on.

Jakob has a new past time. It's empty-ing the cupboard. We removed all the glass dishes until we can get a lock for it. I happened to capture him red-handed. Thank god for melamine.

First Steps!!
Jakob took his first steps!
Yes, indeed the happiest, most beautiful baby boy in the world is now walking....or at least trying.
I just knew he was on the verge of taking his own steps this past Saturday,and he did, but just one.
So I didn't count it really.
Then yesterday, again, just one. So I didn't really count that either.
But I have been watching and waiting.
And today he walked.
He went from the plastic steering wheel on the jungle gym, to the red climbing tube.
I would say that was at least 3 or 4 steps, on his own.
And he did it two more times.
Jakob just passed his ten month birthday.
Hurrah for Kuba!

Ten Month Photo
Jakob is growing up! Here he is all smiles (as usual) posing for his ten month photo.
Let's see...what is he up to these days?
Let's see...what is he up to these days?
Wanting to walk passionately. Being upright is what it is all about lately.
Cruising along furniture, pushing push toys, and holding hands and walking with you are making him real happy.
He is also exploring language and trying all sorts of sounds.
We recognize these words:
caw (bird noise),
qack (duck noise),
guck (duck),
qac qer (tractor) and maybe that is it for now.
He remains incredibly smiley, social, and active. He is such a charmer in every way.
And he is simply beautiful so it adds a lot to his appeal.
He is a real lover, that is for sure.
