Little Boy Huge Joy

It is so much fun to watch Jacob make discoveries when he is playing. This week he finally figured out how to let go of a ball and put it in the basket of his basketball net, and another toy. Once he made this discovery, he would do it over and over so pleased with himself. He is also figuring out how other toys work, and instead of just hitting them randomly, he can press the buttons to turn things on.
Jacob's communication skills are improving also! He says "wow" or "ow" when he sees something he likes (most often a light or things he sees outside), and he gives approving squeals for games, toys, and books that are his favorite.
The miracle of a sleep schedule continues as we are now 2 weeks strong sleeping through the night. We had one night last week when Jacob woke for about an hour, but we really have no complaints, and are certainly enjoying all of this sleep! Oddly though, Paul and I both have been suffering sore necks for two weeks, so I wonder if all of this uninterupted sleep is messing with us? The other night Paul and I got a kick out of Jacob's little coat hanging next to ours. Awww. So cute:)
