Happy Birthday Uncle RJ
Posted by Missy Roberts at 9:32 PM About Jake
This is daddy posting... Saturday was a fun day for all of us. We first went for a walk to Tropical Cafe with Jakester and had breakfast before heading out to shop for a new car seat. We eventually ended up at Babies-R-Us in Brea and took a look at all the cool car seats. The one we were looking at was a Britax Decathalon. It was the top-of-the-line and was very cool looking too! Missy read about it and the reviews also said it was the safest - so that's cool too!
okay, now this is mommy. I did some research into the best car seat for us and found that the one mentioned above is the best one for us. Unfortunately, when we went to Babies R Us, they only had a brown one and though it doesn't really matter what color it is, I would prefer it to somewhat match the interior of our car. So I will have to purchase it online to get a grey one.
Later in the afternoon mommy and Jacob went grocery shopping as daddy went to a tennis match with his dad and some friends. Jacob and mommy spent the rest of the evening playing. Jacob is really pulling up on things, mostly mommy. He is now trying to climb over me and almost did a somersault yesterday. After his dinner I gave Jake a sippy cup to try to get him to drink out of it. This was my second attempt with it. He really liked to chew on the spout, but when he finally got some water out of it, I think he kind of liked it. He took a few sips, but I think he preferred biting on the spout. He's definitely teething.
Today, Sunday, we went to Uncle RJ's house to celebrate his birthday. There were lots of people there and Jacob was a little overwhelmed. He was holding on tight to mommy, daddy and Nani. He was a little hesitant to go with other people. He did have a good time playing with Papa and PJ. He didn't eat very well over there because it was really loud and he was very distracted. But when we got home we gave him another bottle and he should be okay for tonight:) When he was playing with Papa today, Papa said that Jacob was holding on the the railing and then let go and stayed standing for 2 whole seconds! Wow, he usually falls right on his bum once he lets go of something. I guess he's making progress. With all the people and the loud noises, he did very well. In general he's getting a little more hesitant about going with people he's never seen before. He's fine with faces he recognizes, and he used to be fine with those he didn't know but lately, he will sort of pull away from people he doesn't really know. I guess it's a good thing, but I also don't want him to be so attached to us that he won't go with friends and family.
Alright, tomorrow Jacob and mommy are going to hang out at the Irvine Spectrum while daddy is at an appointment. It will get us out of the house to do something new. Auntie Jenn says they have a fun train there that Cooper loves, so maybe we'll take Jacob on that tomorrow. So until we write about our adventures at the Irvine Spectrum...mommy and daddy love you.
