In the battle between boy and Rudy's cup...

...Rudy cup wins:-( Jake continues to love holding something in his hands as he walks around. One of his favorite things to play with and hold are plastic cups, like the kind from Rudy's. He likes to hold one to his mouth to pretend drinking and carry it around with him all throughout the house. The Rudy's cup was his "toy" of choice on Sunday morning. He was pretending to drink and had hold of it with his teeth when he suddenly lost his balance and hit the floor..with the cup still in his mouth. The result was lots of screaming and about a 1 1/2 inch circular mark on his forehead...the worst battle wound he has sustained thus far. I tried to get pictures to mark the occassion, but it's kind of hard to see with his bangs. Anyhow, here are some cute pics of our boy...

This last picture is an example of his "dribbling" skills. I've shared before that Jake is now dribbling, but I have to make it clear the ball never leaves his hands, although we're proud and impressed all the same. He holds on with the ball with both hands, walks a couple steps, then squats down to tap the ball against the floor. After a couple taps, he's back up, progressing to the goal. My little dribbler...
