A little boy

(Ella & Jacob at Blackbutt Reserve - someone needs to be climbing up the wall!)

Jacob has started to turn into a little boy. He is drawn towards muddy puddles (I was impressed with his shoes, no water leaked through) and likes to get in the driving seat to "drive" my car.

He also manages to find holes in the wall and will stick his finger in there (hope there are no nasty spiders in there waiting for him!), will poke at ants walking along the wall, is brave and sticks fingers in and makes faces at emus. He now also likes to walk along a wall, jump off curbs and collect rocks and line them up.

Jacob also enjoys following birds around - doesn't matter if it's a gull, a peacock or a duck. As long as he's in no danger, it's great for me to watch him.

Jacob also got a big treat yesterday, I got him a Little Tikes Coupe. Once he had woken from his nap, had lunch and finally saw the car, that was it - no getting him out. Dave said this morning he went straight to the car and whilst I'm typing this - he's in the car! A great buy.
