'Tis the Season, Ho-Ho-Ho, No-No-No

It is the season in Jacob's life where he is hearing both Ho-Ho-Ho and No-No-No. He tends to hear the Ho-Ho-Ho much better than the No.

Here are a few things he hears No about all day long...even if you try to baby proof.

Paper--he loves to crinkle it and EAT it.


You'd think he was low on fiber the way he takes off after a piece of paper. Then if he gets in his mouth his lips are sealed like Fort Knox! (Note to reader: I am not trying to take paper out in this picture--thus the open lips to display his "fiber filled meal.")













We say no to shoes


No to the fireplace

He loves to "browse" through our music collection and has figured out how to open the CD player--no to that. (We now have our banana chair set up in front of it so he can't get to it--will be fine until he is old enough to crawl over it.) :)


No to this--the sharp objects--not the scriptures, but we probably say no to that too since they are made of paper.


No to pulling down Christmas decorations--though this one isn't too hurt when Jacob gets to him










We say yes, to him crawling over to play with us. As you can see in the background--he has nothing of his own to play with--poor boy. That is why he finds such joy in all the above mentioned items. :) Such a funny kid.

We are saying a lot of ho ho ho and no no no to Olivia too. She has only broken 4 glass bulbs on the tree so far. And yes I check up on your blog, but now I don't have to check EVERY blog I follow to see if they updated. It is a very good feature. So, ho ho ho to you, not no no no! :)

This post brings back so many wonderful memories of "don't touch that..." "No....." and having to watch everything every second. Just wait until he can run from you....:) Also, I changed the link on my post for the pilgrims. I did the pictures in B/W because they were for my photog class. I will post color pictures of our rooms soon. Have a love day!!

I love your new blog background! Very cute.

I, also, really enjoyed your post. It seems like there is a whole lot of "No" that goes on sometimes, doesn't it?
