I realize that with tomorrow's birthday bash we will probably post two days in a row, but we have too much footage right now to not show you. This will be the last post of our baby, tomorrow ushers in the age of the toddler. Tomorrow night we will be celebrating Jacob's birthday with his 30-50 closest friends who live here in Berkeley. Don't worry, Aunt Tally, at Jacob's request, we will also be watching the CAROLINA game. What a day it will be!
I titled this post "on the verge" because on the verge of his birthday, Jacob Daniel Pugh is on the verge of so many things. He is taking steps several times a day. The most we have counted is nine-in-a-row, and he has done that twice. He still prefers crawling as his primary form of locomotion. Especially when we turn the camera on.
He is is on the verge of cutting his 5th and maybe 6th tooth. Because of that, some days he seems to be on the verge of the "terrible twos" phase, albeit (that's for you Gma&Gpa Chell!) a little early. For now we're chalking up his whining to teething- but if it continues...
Though it is hard to put into blog form, Jacob is on the verge of everything- talking, singing, climbing, comprehending, dancing, eating with utensils, playing the guitar, playing sports (I can't WAIT for that one!), and generally making the slow transition from baby to kid.
He's so stinking cute. I am going to couple of videos here, between 1-2 minutes. Make sure you can spare the time at work (Uncle Trent!).
I think these capture the essence of our little boy- the way he transitions from one action to another, the way he responds when spoken to, and his friendly disposition.
Enjoy!
Jacob and me watching the Carolina Game-
Spinning and playing

Happy Birthday Jacob! Your present is on its way, but I was a little behind getting it out to you, so it won't make it for your big day today. However, I'm sure you won't be lacking ;-) Make sure you smash cake everywhere!
happy birthday Yaque-a-bee. Enjoy the party and cake, oh yum. See 2/3 of you all on Wednesday. love.
Hey - and i'll see the rest of you soon enough (maybe).
Now teach him to dance and spin his shirt. Over his head. Like a helicopter.
Wait- no - teach him how to break bread on his forehead. Yeah, he'd like that.
Happy 1st Birthday, Jacob! We can't wait to see you in person and extend the celebration..... birthday and Easter, Oh my!
Daniel, we'll miss you this time around, but we'll take really good care of your sweeties. We all look forward to meeting up in June!
Jacob IS "verging" mightily! What excitement! He is such a little boy now, no longer baby Jacob. Thanks for keeping us so close while very far away.
April 6, 2009, Jacob's first birthday and the Tar Heels win the championship. Does life get any better?
Both of you do a great job of giving us the chance to see Jacob as he grows. Thanks for that. Can't wait to see all of you next week for yet another birthday party.
Love Didi
This one's great.
What I appreciate (and just now noticed cause I'm an idiot) is that Daniel says what I'm thinking when I watch these: (like @ 2:00)
"Jacob....Ja...wait, what was that?"
(some stuff happens)
"No, really, wait a minute, what WAS that just a second ago? What did you do?"
