Recently Acquired

Jacob has recently acquired something. The saddest cry you will ever hear. It makes it really hard to play the mom role. He uses it as a secret weapon I'm pretty sure. Now that he is getting old enough to know right from wrong, yes and no kind of thing, he breaks it out. If I tell him he can't have something or has to go down for a nap, he just starts crying the heart breaking cry. It kind of reminds me of when he was just a tiny baby and would cry very similar to it. So sad. But, alas, the mother in me still puts him down for a nap, or won't give him sucker number 6 for the day. Regardless, he is still cute as a button.
Sad little Jacob the day we brought him home from the hospital. His outfit was a premi and it drowned him. He was tiny. Since the post was about crying I thought this was fitting!

Oh my goodness, he has always gotten to me with his cry. So his new cry will really get to men. Give him a big kiss to me.

I forgot how tiny he was! It's pretty bad when a two year old learns to manipulate us dumb adults, isn't it? What a cute and crafty little man! Love you

He sure is a smart little guy and very cute too. I just love that picture too.
