November 2005

November was another month of bumps and bruises for Jacob. You can pretty much find one in every picture on this page! If he wasn't banged up, he was
suffering from some sinus or stomach malady. But he's never let that stop him from having fun. At the ripe, old age of 22 months, he posed for his
first photo shoot for a children's book. He didn't seem to care. Guess the baby paparazzi (mom) has him so inured to being photographed, that it's just
no big deal. Whatever, there's a camera in my face, I'll just say "cheese" and go on with my fun. Since we had to trek to Baltimore for the shoot, we
took in the Inner Harbor, looked at the water, and spend a couple hours at the aquarium. With his own fish tank at home, Jacob was blase about the ones
we pointed out. So it took the rainforest monkeys and the dolphin show to really sell him on the idea that this was worth the long drive! Favorite
activities right now: Drawing, dancing, and reading. Favorite TV shows: Sesame Street and Wiggles. Favorite colors: Blue and red. Favorite food:
Whatever Mama and Dada are eating.
