Daddy's Home!
Posted by Missy Roberts at 7:36 PM About Jake
Friday morning when I walked into Jacob's room to get him out of his crib, Jacob was standing in his crib waiting for me! I couldn't believe it. He had been trying pull himself up in his crib for a while, but just couldn't quite reach. Well now he can. All day Friday Jacob was fussy. I think it's teething, but I've been saying that for a LONG time now. Who knows what it was. All I know is that by the end of the day I was pretty much done with him. If I walked out of his sight for one second while he was playing, he would start screaming. Needless to say, I pretty much got nothing done on Friday. The good thing about Friday was that daddy was due home that night. Jacob and I went to the airport to pick him up. We got there a little early because I anticipated traffic, but fortunately there was none. So instead of driving around the airport hearing Jacob cry in the back of the cry, we parked the car and decided to go in and wait for daddy. Jacob enjoyed his time there. He was watching all the people walk by and had fun chatting with another lady waiting there. When daddy finally came down the escalators, he didn't even see us standing there. I had to yell his name a couple of times for him to turn around to see us. He was surprised that we were there waiting for him. He was so happy to see Jacob there and took him in his arms right away. The rest of the night Jacob played with daddy until he went to sleep in daddy's arms after daddy gave him a bottle.
Saturday morning we woke up and played with Jacob then went for a ride to Coffee Bean for breakfast. Daddy was in Seattle and didn't have one coffee when he was there, can you believe that! Anyway, Jacob had his breakfast there with us. Later in the afternoon we joined some family for a car show at Friend's Church in Yorba Linda. A friend's car was on display there and daddy was hoping to take a spin in the Ferrari after the show. Jacob liked seeing all the cars and people.
This morning Jacob woke up early and played in our bed for about 30 minutes and then decided to go back to sleep. So we all took a little nap early in the morning and then woke and got ready for church. Jacob loves to make friends in the mommy room at church. Today he played with two little boys about his age. It was so fun to see them interact with eachother. THey were playing with their toys and wanting to figure out what the other baby was all about. After church we went to lunch with Chris and Leanne and then came home and relaxed for the rest of the afternoon.
Jacob is really pulling up to stand on everything now. He can finally pull himself up on the couch and he starting to take some steps while standing holding on to the couch. It makes us a little nervous because he tries to be brave and let go, which is great, but I don't want him falling and hitting his head on the hard wood floors. So I just watch him closely as he is holding on to the couch. It is so much fun to watch him explore everything from his new vantage point. He would much rather be standing now then sitting or crawling, but he still does a lot of that too. At bath time he is splashing in the water a lot more. He loves bath time and really needs them now since he is pretty much cleaning our floors everyday. It's kind of embarrassing to see how dirty the floors are when we see the tops of his feet at the end of the day. It seems like no matter how much we clean them they are always dirty. I guess I need to do a better job at cleaning the floors! (I think daddy would agree!).
I did buy some teething tablets this afternoon to give to Jacob when he wakes up screaming in the middle of the night. I think some teeth are trying to break through and hopefully these tablets will ease the discomfort he is feeling. I hope it works, so that maybe we can get a restful night's sleep:) so we'll see how that goes. So until next time... mommy and daddy love you!
