I’m Jakey Jakesmom. We’re up to the fifth biggest song of 2009, it hit #1 on two major charts, diaper changing and bath time. Normally it’s sung with an introduction of She’ll Be Comin’ Round the Mountain by Lady Mama (who has just realized these are two different songs). This year’s hit at #5, I’ve Been…
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…
Two weeks ago… One little monkey playing on the bed, He fell off and bumped his head. Daddy called Mommy in a tearful voice and Mommy said, No baby monkeys playing on the bed!
I’ll take “Baby Milestones” for 400. Answer: 9 months. “When does the connection start between men and their remote controls?” Today is Jakey’s 9 month birthday. And tonight we watched him creep along the ottoman, 4 or 5 steps, to get to the remote control. He then managed to change…

Ten minutes with Google and I’ve uncovered a whole new world on Chinese face reading. I think maybe Alesia and I should investigate this as I know she has fortune-telling transactional experience. Is it frowned upon to take your baby’s ear lobes to a psychic? Face Reading: What Your Ears…
Today I took Jake to school in the outfit he wore to Emily and Shaun’s wedding… but a more dressed-down “school worthy” version (jeans rather than matching pants with suspenders). This is definitely the outfit Jakey wears to get girls. Teacher Linda C. was head over heels. She quickly got…
Unicorns, dragons, & yetis… all legendary, mythological creatures. Just last week James told me about a new legendary creature: The Standing Jacob. “Suppooooosedly” this creature, who has just learned to crawl in a coordinated fashion, stood up not once, not twice, but three times on Sunday the 8th (6 whole days…
JJ has been doing yoga since he was in the womb. Although I remember his favorite pose (or maybe his mommy’s favorite pose) was shavasana (basically taking a nap) and then waking up for Hershey’s kisses… Lately Baby Jake has perfected a couple of new tricks. This isn’t the best…
