One of the things that’s amazing is how quickly we have given Jacob nicknames to describe his behaviors. One of the first was “Burrito Boy” in reference to the way he was swaddled and wrapped up like a Chipotle special. We’ve since gone down the road of “Urples” (from his cooing\/crying), “Billy Goat” (from his “I’m annoyed with something” cry that sounds just like bleating), “Snurples” (Urples plus the snorting sounds he makes when rooting), and who knows what’s next.<\/p>\n
