A night of "Firsts"
Posted by Missy Roberts at 8:19 PM About Jake
I just have to say that my son Jacob is SOOOO CUTE! Well, he wasn't so cute when he woke up at 5:30 this morning, but after that he was so adorable. We played around this morning and then we had to go to Nani and Papa's house to let the guys working on their kitchen in. After that we came home, Jacob took a fairly long nap while mommy was able to get a lot of cleaning done. Then we went grocery shopping. This is the best Jacob has been while at the grocery store. I think it's because about half way through the shopping I gave him a teething biscuit. Those things are MESSY and boy was he a MESS by the time I got to the checkout. He had crumbs all over his face...literally all over his face, all over his cheeks, on his forehead, even on one of his eyelids. He had the stuff all over his hands and halfway up his forearm. The cart cover was FILTHY, but he was having a good time eating his biscuit. He was making so much noise while eating it...he was definitely enjoying it. On the way home, he had another fit and I knew his poor teeth were hurting him again. So he got some teething tablets when we got home and took another nap.
After dinner, daddy was rolling him around in his dump truck. Yes, daddy sits Jacob in the dump part of the truck and "drives" him around the family room. It's actually cute and Jacob loves it (and daddy loves it because he gets to make truck noises as he's driving it). Anyway, I was waving to Jacob saying bye-bye as he was driving past me and HE WAVED AT ME!!! This was a true wave this time...not him trying to get food off his hand. He stopped and I waved at him again and he waved back. Oh it was the most adorable thing I've every seen...I got a little teary eyed. So precious!
THEN...daddy made mommy go get him some Golden Spoon and this is when the MAJOR even occured...here's daddy to tell the rest...
Hi. This is daddy. So I have some really BIG news about Jacob. About 1 minute after mommy left to go to Golden Spoon I had Jacob facing the couch as he was standing up and I called him to walk to me with my arms held out and guess WHAT???... he took 4 steps to me. I was so excited and couldn't believe it!!! I tried calling mommy and she forgot to take her cell phone with her so I had to save the news until her return. So the trick for those new parents out there is to hold out your arms while being close enough to catch your baby. Then they might just walk to you!!!! Today is a day we'll never forget!!! It was funny because after his last step, he got nervous and realized what he was really doing. He then froze up and fell down. You're cute Jacob! So until next time...mommy and daddy love you!!!
