My chill baby

So, Jacob is turning into my climber. Today he was climbing on the playground equipment. He tries to climb on the fireplace. He even climbed underneath his changing table.
And then Lillian had to give it a go.
He is 10 months now and one smart little boy. When something rolls under the couch and he wants to get it he lays down flat on his tummy and stretches both arms above his head. The two oldest never did this. They just would run into the couch with their heads and start crying.
 He has seven teeth and one more that just broke through. He is pretty content with crawling right now but likes to pull himself up. He also does this funny bear-crawl on the laminate floor because he doesn't like the feel of it on his legs.
Oh - and eyelashes that won't quit. Did I mention those?
He has to be where everyone else is - especially Samuel and Lillian. They are pretty much his heroes. He gets super excited when Daddy comes home from work, squealing and crawling as fast as he can to Daddy's feet.
But mostly he's just chill. He'll sit there and quietly play with toys while I cook. He smiles at everyone even when he's sick or tired. In fact he gets a bit giddy when he's tired. He even fell asleep yesterday at church. During nursery (and the kids were a bit hyper so it wasn't quiet in there). I put him on the floor in the corner with Carlin's suit jacket on top of him and he slept through the last hour of church. Crazy, huh?

Baby Jacob is a personality all on his own.

Also, love that he stretches out and reaches for things under the couch! What a smartie!
