I am walking...

As most of you know, I have been walking for about a year now. However it was an uphill battle to get here. Daddy has finally posted the intense training course I had to endure....


Bye Bye

Our little Turk.....

My Daddy bought this shirt for me when we were living in London, England. He was doing some work in Istanbul, Turkey and picked this up for me as a gift. It was too big but he knew one day it would fit. And today it finally fits!

I miss Turkey. When we visited Turkey my Daddy took a lot of home movies. However he did not get a chance to post any of them. I have included one of them below. I was really little when these were shot. I wasn't even crawling yet. If you look back on my blog to Sept 2006, you will see all my posts from Turkey.

More playin' (and some funky hair!)

Hi everyone -- I think my mommy is braggin' about what a good mom she is by taking me to play at all these great places. Here I am at a mall that mom likes to take me to - the kids area is free and the floor is really soft and squishy and so are all the toys that I'm playing on. Ok but I did have some funky hair going on that day - what's with the wings???!!! Usually after I play for a while we go eat dinner in the food court and then mommy does a little bit of shopping and then we go home and I sleep like an angel. By the way if you're wondering where my daddy is - he's a guitar lessons when my mom takes me out to play... love jacob (p.s. basak and ozgur make sure you check back this weekend 'cause we have a special outfit that we want to show you - we miss you lots!!)

Playgrounds

Hi all -- Here are some pictures of me playing at a new cafe / play area near our house called Playgounds -- get it? Play and coffee grounds... Anyway mom paid $4 for me to play in the play area while she drank a tea and hung out with other mom's. Mom's not too happy with me these days because I'm always movin' and she can't get good pictures of me! I'm talking a lot these days pretty much saying everything that mommy and daddy say. I guess I'm having issues with getting my 't' and my 'f' mixed up, which isn't normally a problem except when I see a truck. And since I get so excited when I see trucks I shout out 'Oh *uck!' (replace the t with a f and you get what I'm talking about). Some of mommy and daddy's friends are commenting on my colourful language! oh well... what's a boy to do! love jacob

My great aunty's sweater

This popcorn sweater I'm wearing is my great aunty nancy's sweater from when she was a young gaffer like me! My uncle jonny and my uncle jesse used to wear it too and now it's my turn! My great aunty nancy (or nanti as I call her) is holding me in the second picture. Aunty nancy came for a visit from Vancouver for the weekend and it was so nice to see her! love jacob
p.s. hey christopher - notice i don't have my soother!
