OK, now I know Dr. Nancy would not approve of this. And it goes against all modern day wisdom: Looking up medical ailments on the internet is the worst thing to do. There’s really nothing freakier, is there? So when I picked Jake up from an overnight at his grandparents…
Our life is changing…. again. It’s clear that our previously oblivious, spacey child is starting to become accutely aware of his surroundings. Last Tuesday we were playing on the floor and Jake got ahold of my iPhone. He turned around and I kid you not, pointed it at the TV and…

AGE: 9 months and 2 weeks… it’s about time for a vocab round-up. A: Aye Aye Aye! Imagine that stereotypical scene of a Mexican cowboy shooting his pistola in the air as his horse stomps and bucks… That’s what Jacob sounds like at 4am. B: Ba Ba, BA BA. This…
