The Rose Family

So now that Jacob has figured out how to move around, he's decided to use his naptime to practice his newfound skills. On more than one occasion, I've caught him standing up in his crib, holding on for dear life. He's figured out how to get up, but he hasn't quite figured out how to get back down. So much so, that he's typically found fast asleep in an upright position, leaning his head against the crib. I've made it a habit to check on him a few minutes after he lays down.

This morning, we found him standing up, talking to the ducks on the quilt that Grandma Atkinson made for him. See mom? All that work has finally paid off. He's always been my Jacob love, and it just keeps getting better. He's even managed to master the word "mama". Oh how I love him.

Funny story about the big brothers: Matt and Josh were upstairs playing Star Wars with their legos (like usual), building this ship with "shooters" and getting this bad guy, etc. Then out of nowhere, Josh busts out with "How Firm a Foundation", repeating the words "for unto the Savior" over and over again. And them Matt jumps in and corrects him by stating, "No, Josh, it goes 'who unto the Savior uniminenen head'." The real word is omnipotent, by the way. So note to all parents out there; as much as Derek and I feel our efforts are for naught while trying to get the kids to sit for five minutes for family night, they apparently do listen.
