Little Mr. Animated

Claire had her own post a week or two ago, so it is time for a Jacob post.  He is such an animated little boy, it is just so much easier to capture some of his personality on camera than it is to capture Claire's (she just ends up with bizarre looks on her face).  He really loves to play with Play-Doh and cookie cutters and always begs for me to cut out a car, a truck, or a duck.  If it is a car or truck he drives it along the tray and makes engine noises and says "beep beep"; if it is a duck he says "quack quack" then hugs it and gives it a kiss on the beak.

He is a very energetic and happy little boy, he loves to make noise and smile and really loves to have his mouth open.
You can really see how much he loves to splash (making any sort of mess seems to really make him happy).  Notice that there are no bubbles, so he is unafraid to touch the water.
Jacob is a very affectionate little boy and loves hugs and kisses, he is also very sweet with little babies and loves to watch them and is good not to touch them without permission.  He really loves to get real close to a baby and say "HI BABY" while waving.  In this picture he is attempting to hug baby leh la aka Ella, physical barriers like carseats don't seem to deter his need to give unsolicited hugs!
He knows no boundaries between girl things and boy things and he loves to dress up with his sister.  This is a new hat that I bought for a dollar at Target for Claire and they both really love it, but I just can't get over how pretty Jacob looks in it.  I love the look on his face in this picture, if you look close enough you will notice that he is holding the horse puzzle piece and he is making the horsey sound.
