Jacob made some awesome strides tonight with his scooter. We captured the action in the video below. In addition, I’ve included a video where Elise and Jacob are having fun with the sunshades.

Stairmaster
Due in great part to Jacob’s interest in chasing cats, he had a great time going up the stairs in Larry and Mary’s house. Our current living quarters do not have stairs, so this was quite the experience!

Having Fun!
Today was a great day around the Werth household for having a good time. Jacob was his energetic self – as usual – and I remembered to grab the video camera to record the fun.
- Hamper Basket
- Wild Chase – One of Jacob’s favorite activities is to get chased down by dad.
- Attack, Dancing, and Placing – Jacob loves to dance to his new musical toy. It is definitely my favorite part of this video!

9 Month Checkup and Bowling!
Last week, Jacob went in for his 9-month checkup and follow up for his ear infection. Everything went very well and Jacob’s score on the nine-month assessment (testing various skills and abilities) was excellent – scoring 60 out of 60. Jacob now weighs 21 lb 8.6 oz and is 28.7 inches tall! He also received the first of two stages for the flu shot.
In addition to visiting the doctor’s office, the family also went bowling this past week. This was pretty exciting for Jacob as there were many new sites and sounds to experience! He enjoyed clapping his hands and cheering energetically.
Christmas came early for Jacob this year, with the arrival of his two front (bottom) teeth. 🙂

Videos (cont.)
To reward your patience, here are a few more clips for your viewing pleasure. I have a backlog of photos on our camera, so I’ll try to get those up soon. For now…enjoy!
As promised, here are some great videos of Jacob:
- Snoring like a Rock Star
- Still Snoring like a Rock Star
- Eating Solid Foods
- Noises
- Buzzing all Alone
- Just Chillin’
Let us know which one is your favorite 🙂 I’ll have a couple more up in a few days.
The past two weeks have been pretty exciting at the Werth household. Washington H.S. had its homecoming, with the end of the term the following week. Finals went well and Elise wrapped up grading to prepare for the start of the new term today. Meanwhile, Elise followed Jacob’s lead and came down with a virus; which she is starting to get over. Jacob, on the other hand, had an ear infection but quickly rebounded after day 2 of his 10-day antibiotic schedule.
This past Thursday and Friday, I took off from work to give a presentation at the Midwest Chapter Music Library Assoc Conference. The talk went well, with good feedback and interest, and I got to taste some of Indianapolis’ delicious craft beer!
In other news, the UI holds some promising job prospects that should develop in the coming weeks. Also, Jacob ushered in two new firsts: two teeth are starting to come in and he stood up all by himself from a seated position (holding on to his jumper). There will be plenty of pictures and videos coming soon, but for now enjoy these from Halloween!

Laughing & Eating
Here are some more videos of the little guy. We have started introducing solid food for him to handle and put in his mouth. Right now we are using Gerber Graduates Finger Foods. They come in a variety of flavors, and just kind of melt in your mouth – making them a great introductory food. Jacob has started to get the hang of grabbing these small pieces and getting them into his mouth.
