Daddy comes home tomorrow!
Posted by Missy Roberts at 9:40 PM About Jake
Jacob is climbing up the walls now...almost literally. This little boy has so much energy...it's funny.
On Monday we hung out at the house for a little bit, then we decided to go to the park in the late afternoon when the playground was shaded. Jacob spent some time kicking it on the swing. He was leaning back and enjoying the wind go through his hair. I was pushing him pretty high and he was loving it. Then we made our way over to the "baby" jungle gym. Jacob had a great time climbing up the stairs and stopping at each level to see what fun thing there was for him to do there. He was cracking me up. We talked to daddy when we got home and told him how much we missed him. Jacob is starting to eat more foods now, but some of them he still has a problem touching so mommy has to put them in his mouth for him. This kid is getting WAY too spoiled. I need to stop it now before it gets out of hand.
Tuesday we took off in the morning for a trip to Babies R Us to return a halloween costume that is going to be too small for Jacob. Then we went to the mall and walked around a bit. I made an appointment to have his picture taken at the expensive picture place, but Nani HAS to have Jacob in a picture looking like an angel! I was hoping that while we walked around he would fall asleep since it was pretty much his nap time, but no such luck. he did fall asleep on the ride home though. When we got home we played a little bit and then Nani picked him up to take him to her house so that they could have dinner with Papa and Auntie and Uncle. Apparently Jacob tried some chicken and had a funny look on his face:) I went out with the girls to celebrate Margaret's birthday and had a really good time. By the time I got home Jacob was sound asleep. He was a pretty good boy Tuesday night so I was able to get more rest than ususal.
This morning we woke up early and I was hoping to take Jacob to our church's mommy and me class. Most of the time we are not able to go becasue Jacob is napping, but he's been waking up earlier and napping earlier so I thought we would be able to make it...nope, Jacob decided to take a late nap today at 9:45. Since mommy and me starts at 10, we definitely did not make that one. Oh well hopefully next week. so when he woke up we went on a quick shopping trip and then made our way to Jen Nicastro's house to visit the newly born, Joseph Nicastro who is 5 1/2 weeks old. He is SOOOOO cute! Of course he was sleeping most of the time that we were there, but he was adorable. Jacob was intrigued by him and of course wanted to touch him, but he doesn't really know what "nice" touching is yet, so I had to keep him away from the baby. But, Jacob had a good time exploring their new house, which is GORGEOUS! When we got home we had some dinner. Auntie Sonnia made some spaghetti and meatballs and sent some over with Nani for us. Jacob loved the meatballs! and he even picked up the zucchini and ate it on his own...that's a first. he was definitely a healthy eater today, he ate a whole banana today (not in one sitting though), which shocked the heck out of me!, plus some cheerios, carrots (smashed), peas, some bagel, and his breakfast and dinner. He is loving this eating thing now...which is a good thing. Tonight at bed time he was not ready to go to bed. Nani was here and was playing with him and at 8:15 the two of them were laughing up a storm. CRAZY! Finally I was able to put him down to sleep sometime around 8:30 or 8:45...I can only imagine what is going to happen when he gets older and spends the night with Nani and Papa....I'm sure bed time will not be in their vocabulary! That's okay though...what happens and Nani and Papas stays and Nani and Papas...
tomorrow morning we are leaving early to pick up daddy at the airport and then hopefully head over to Disneyland for a few hours of fun in the park. We can't wait to see daddy...it seems like he's been gone forever. So until next time...mommy and daddy love you (and daddy misses you a lot!)
